Custom Parchment Paper printed for a UK food business

Printed Food Papers

Custom Printed Parchment Paper

Parchment is treated to tolerate oven temperatures, which is what separates it from greaseproof. Bakers use it for lining trays and for anything that goes into heat.

Printing it is less common than printing greaseproof, and worth doing where the paper stays with the product after baking.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Parchment Paper

Pick a colour, put your name on it, and see how the idea reads before you ask anyone for a price. It is a sketch rather than a manufacturing proof — the real shape is cut from the product you already serve.

On unbleached board every colour prints warmer than it looks here. Two inks chosen for kraft beat four fighting the brown.

Carry this into the full designer

The full page adds the size, board, print and quantity, then sends the whole specification over in one go. Nothing is committed to at any point.

Parchment Against Greaseproof

	Parchment	Greaseproof
Oven use	Tolerates baking temperatures	Not suitable
Non-stick	Naturally releases baked goods	Sticks to sugar and glaze
Grease resistance	Good	Very good
Cost	Higher	Lower
Printing	Possible; the surface is less absorbent	Straightforward

For anything that never sees an oven, greaseproof does the job for less.

Printing Paper That Goes into an Oven

Where a printed sheet is baked with the product, the ink system has to be specified for that, not just for food contact.

Where the printed sheet is added after baking — a wrap around a finished loaf, for instance — the requirement is much simpler.

For packaging that goes on after baking, bags for finished bakery products are usually the better format.

Ordering, Artwork and Delivery

Getting a Quote

Measure the item, then add enough on each side to fold and tuck. We reply with a written specification, the minimum order quantity and the lead time for your job.

Artwork

One or two colours reproduce most reliably on an absorbent stock. Full file requirements are set out in our artwork guidelines.

Turnaround

Lead times depend on the print method, run length and press schedule, so we confirm yours on the quote rather than publishing a single figure.

Delivery in the UK

Orders are dispatched on national carriers to any UK address. Seedelivery information for how dates are given.

Custom Parchment Paper: Common Questions

Can printed parchment go in the oven?

Only where the ink system is specified for it. Tell us whether the printed sheet is baked with the product or added afterwards, because the two are very different requirements.

Is parchment worth the extra cost for wrapping?

For plain wrapping, generally not — greaseproof performs well and costs less. Parchment earns its cost where oven heat or non-stick release is genuinely needed.

Is parchment worth it for plain wrapping?

Generally not. Greaseproof performs well and costs less. Parchment earns its cost where oven heat or non-stick release is needed.

What makes parchment non-stick?

It is treated so baked goods release rather than adhering, which is why bakers line trays with it rather than with greaseproof.

Does parchment resist grease as well?

Well, though greaseproof is denser and marginally better at oil specifically. Parchment buys heat tolerance instead.

Can we print full colour?

The surface is less absorbent than greaseproof, so print sits differently. One or two colours remains the practical choice.

Do bakers use printed parchment?

Where the sheet stays with the finished product, yes. Where it only lines a tray, plain parchment is the sensible spend.

What sizes are available?

Cut to your tray or your product. Send the dimensions and we will confirm what can be produced at that size.

Is it suitable for cold food?

It is, though you would be paying for heat tolerance you do not need. A lighter sheet is cheaper for cold.

Do you supply this in sheets cut to a tray?

Yes. Send the tray dimensions and we will confirm what can be produced at that size.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
