Custom Greaseproof Paper
The workhorse sheet for burgers, hot food and counter wrapping.
Specification & quote
Printed Food Papers
Waxed paper carries a coating that repels moisture very effectively and softens under heat. Those two facts define exactly where it belongs.
It is a cold and ambient product, and using it against hot food is the mistake to avoid.
Short enquiry
Tell us the quantity and any date you are working to. We reply with the board, print and finish, plus the minimum order quantity and lead time.
Design Your Own
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
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 designerThe 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 wax coating stops moisture passing through the sheet, which suits cold sandwiches, cheese, confectionery and anything that would go soggy in plain paper.
Warm it and the coating softens, transfers to the food, and stops doing its job. It is not a matter of degree — it is the wrong material for hot applications.
For anything warm, greaseproof for hot and oily food is the correct grade instead.
Anywhere hot food might be wrapped by mistake, it is worth keeping stock physically separate.
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.
One or two colours reproduce most reliably on an absorbent stock. Full file requirements are set out in our artwork guidelines.
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.

No. The coating softens with heat, transfers onto the food and stops working. For hot items, greaseproof or parchment is the right choice.
It does, though the coating means ink sits on the surface rather than soaking in, so it can be more prone to scuffing. Simple designs in one or two colours hold up most reliably.
Repelling moisture. Cold sandwiches, confectionery, cheese and anything that would go soggy in plain paper.
No. Greaseproof resists oil through dense fibres; waxed paper resists moisture through a coating, and behaves differently under heat.
Yes. Interleaving chilled products is one of the main uses alongside wrapping, because a sheet between portions stops them freezing into a single block that has to be prised apart.
With cold food, generally not. With anything warm the coating can become noticeable, which is another reason to keep uses separate.
Flat sheets or reams, with interleaved options where staff take one at a time at a counter.
A wax coating changes the disposal route and acceptance depends on local collection. We confirm the material rather than the outcome.
For short-term wrapping, yes, though cheese paper manages moisture better over several days. It depends how long it is held.
It does, which is why printing happens before waxing rather than after. Tell us at quote stage that the sheet is to be waxed so the ink and the coating are specified together.
Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
