Custom Sandwich Paper printed for a UK food business

Printed Food Papers

Custom Printed Sandwich Paper

A wrapped sandwich has to survive a bag, a commute and being put down on a desk. The wrap has to hold it closed without being fought open at lunchtime.

Sheet size and fold pattern do most of that work.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Sandwich 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.

Finish

Show a repeating pattern

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.

The Fold Has to Hold Without Tape

A sandwich wrapped and then taped is secure and irritating to open. A well-sized sheet folded properly holds itself closed with no tape at all.

That needs enough paper to tuck underneath, which is more than the sandwich footprint suggests.

For pre-packed retail rather than made-to-order, board sleeves for chilled retail sandwiches present better in a cabinet.

Practical Points

Size to a made sandwich, not to the bread.
Grease resistance matters for anything with mayonnaise or hot fillings.
A printed area on the outer face is what the customer sees at their desk.
A sticker across the fold both seals and carries the filling name.

If you use a labelling sticker, leave a clear area for it in the artwork.

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 Sandwich Paper: Common Questions

How much bigger than the sandwich should the sheet be?

Enough to fold under on all sides, which is usually noticeably more than people expect. Wrap a real sandwich with a test sheet before settling on a size.

Do we need tape to hold the wrap closed?

Not with a correctly sized sheet and a proper fold. Many sites use a printed sticker instead, which seals the wrap and carries the filling name at the same time.

Do we need tape to close the wrap?

Not with a correctly sized sheet and a proper fold. Many counters use a printed sticker instead, which also carries the filling name.

Does sandwich paper need to be greaseproof?

For mayonnaise-based and hot fillings, yes. Dry fillings are far less demanding and can use a lighter, cheaper sheet.

Can customers eat from the wrap?

That is one of its advantages over a bag, and why office lunch counters often prefer it.

Where should the print go?

On the outer face, which is what the customer sees at their desk. The inner face is against the food.

Can we leave space for a label?

Yes, and you should if you apply one. Reserve the area in the artwork rather than adding a sticker over the design.

How fast is wrapping compared with bagging?

Slower, which is the trade. Bags are quicker at a busy counter; wraps present better and can be eaten from.

Can we use one sheet size across our range?

Usually, if it suits the largest sandwich. A sheet sized for the smallest will not close around the biggest one.

Can we order printed stickers to seal the wrap?

Yes, and a sticker seals the fold and carries the filling name at the same time. Send both quantities.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

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