Printed Food Papers

Custom Printed Fry Paper

A fry paper is a liner rather than a wrap. It sits inside a basket or a box, takes the oil, and is thrown away so the container can be reused.

That reuse is the whole economic argument for it.

Design Your Custom Printed Fry 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.

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.

A Liner Is Cheaper than Washing a Basket

A metal or plastic basket used without a liner has to be washed between customers. With a liner it is wiped and reused immediately.

Across a busy service that saves genuine labour, which is why the sheet pays for itself several times over.

Where baskets are a fixed size, liners cut to a specific basket shape fit more neatly than a square sheet.

Getting the Sheet Size Right

It should cover the base and rise up the sides, not lie flat across the top.
Corners that stick out look deliberate; ones that flop over look careless.
Square sheets are cheapest to cut; shaped ones fit better.
A sheet slightly too large is far better than one slightly too small.

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 Printed Fry Paper: Common Questions

Should a fry paper be shaped or square?

Square is cheaper to produce and works acceptably in most baskets. A shaped liner fits neatly and looks more considered, which matters if the basket goes to a table.

Does the liner need to be greaseproof?

For chips, yes — that is the point of it. A plain paper soaks through and the oil reaches the basket, which removes the reason for using a liner at all.

Should a liner be shaped or square?

Square is cheaper to produce and works in most baskets. A shaped liner fits neatly, which matters if the basket goes to a table.

How big should the sheet be?

Enough to cover the base and rise up the sides. A sheet lying flat across the top defeats the purpose.

Does a liner really save money?

It replaces washing a basket between customers with a wipe, which across a busy service is real labour rather than a marginal saving.

Can we print full colour?

One or two colours suits the price point and the absorbent surface. Heavy coverage looks patchy and costs more.

Do liners work in boxes as well?

Yes, and using the same printed sheet in a basket and a box keeps the look consistent across service styles.

Will the corners stick out?

Deliberately, on a square liner. Corners that stand up look intentional; ones that flop over look careless.

How are they supplied?

Flat sheets in reams. Interleaved packs are worth asking about if staff take one at a time during a rush.

Can we order liners in two sizes?

Yes, and most kitchens have baskets in two sizes. Running both in one job shares the setup.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

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