What is Custom Food Paper and How Is It Made?

Food paper is more than just paper. It is a food-grade barrier that protects food from contamination and keeps it fresh. It is an important component of your packaging that ensures food is safe to eat. Our high-quality food paper is produced through a quite involved manufacturing process. 

First, there is the extraction of wood pulp that is mixed with water to create a slurry. This slurry is spread into a sheet and pressed through rollers to press out the water. 

The rolls of custom food wrapping paper are sent for performance coating. Depending on your paper type, a thin coating of wax, silicone, or PE (polyethylene) is added to give the paper its properties. 

As soon as the coating is dried and set, the rolls are sent to cutting machines where they are accurately cut to your required size. This will give you printed paper ready for packing your delicious bakery items, fast foods, and sandwiches.  

The Benefits of Using Custom Food Wrapping Paper

Investing in custom food paper is a smart business decision for you. Here's why;  

  • Keeps food fresh 

Our food papers hold a tight barrier that encapsulates freshness and protects it from air and bacteria. These papers add more shelf life to your food items.  

  • Stops leaking and mess 

Our specialty paper is grease and oil-resistant. Your sauces and oil won’t leak or leave a mess behind. Our papers have strong grease-hazardous lock properties that are used for oily products like hot chips and burgers.  

  • Promotes your brand 

Every sheet is a little advert for your business. It provides a professional and memorable branding experience if you print your logo and design on your food paper sheets.  

  • Environmentally friendly

We understand that your commitments can also include sustainability. Also, we have kraft and bleach paper options that are biodegradable and from sustainably managed forests. We also use soy-based and water-based inks to ensure a truly green product.

Make Your Branding Better 

Differentiate your company with custom food paper. Our premium quality food paper increases brand exposure with practical and personalized paper.  Custom-printed food paper is as useful as it is interesting. It is grease-proof, moisture-resistant, and ideal for wrapping food. 

Note that it is recyclable paper, allowing you and your customers to sleep easy knowing your paper may have a second life. 

Get Biodegradable Papers

Our greaseproof paper is biodegradable, just like custom tissue paper with a logo. We produce it with 38gsm white or 40gsm Kraft brown paper.  Custom printed greaseproof paper is the ideal solution to wrap around or use underneath any heavy oil food product. 

Plus Printers US provides a top-quality application to hold the grease in and not seep through. In both the food service and baking industry, our greaseproof paper is a perfect liner for food trays, wraps, basket liners, and many more. 

Maintain the appearance of your food display while keeping in the flavor, but also making it greaseproof.

Let Plus Printers US be your one-stop shop for custom printed food paper products like fish and chips paper wrap

 

Our Food Paper is Grease-Resistant

No longer will you serve greasy, soggy messes! Our greaseproof custom food paper is made to handle greasy, moisture-sapping foods like cheeseburgers, meat, fried chicken, wings, and greasy slices of pizza. Our food paper wraps provide a barrier from grease and moisture, reducing leakage and providing a clean way to handle food. Wrapped food is much better for hygiene and great for takeout, dine-in, and delivery. Even when that wrap is saturated with sauce or oil, it maintains its structure, allowing you to reduce food waste, improve presentation, and keep food appetizing!

Keep Your Food Warm with Heat-insulating Food Paper

You can provide warm, wholesome meals with heat-insulating food paper, which helps retain temperature while on the move. If you do burgers, breakfast wraps, or sandwiches, you need heat-insulating food paper. 

It allows food to remain hot without trapping steam, which can lead to moisture collection that leaves food soggy. Heat-insulating food paper keeps the customer's last bite just as fresh and hot as the first, and gives your customers a delicious experience! 

It is a great option for restaurants that care about the quality of their product, while also delivering a great experience to their customers.

Printing Options We Offer

Here are some unique and effective printing choices for your custom food paper:

Digital Printing

Best for short runs, seasonal wrapping paper for food, or prototypes. Get sharp, vibrant graphics and a quick turnaround time using digital printing. This is a great low-cost option for your custom designs and limited edition food paper.

Offset Printing

Offset printing is the right choice for bulk orders that require the most detail and color match consistency. It provides quality prints and consistency across thousands. In addition, it is an efficient and cost-effective printing choice.

Screen Printing

Screen printing gives the brightest colors and the most opaque images on customized food paper. You get durable print quality with the greatest visual impact on textured surfaces as well. Screen printing can be the best option to get a lot of attention for your brand when bright colors are needed.

Get Super Quality Finishing Options 

Get noticed on the shelf and protect your food from grease, moisture, and general wear & tear with our previously mentioned unique finishing techniques.

Color Models

We offer two types of industry-recognized printing color models to make your food paper sheets shine. Such as:

CMYK

This color model offers 4 colors such as Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Better for full color art, bright images, and gradients.

PMS

This color model is Pantone Matching System. And when you need to consistently create the same color on bulk food paper packaging, PMS is the way to go.

You can use Spot UV, Debossing, or Embossing to bring any branding part up or down to provide depth to any design.

Use these vivid colors and make it as attractive as what's inside, if you want the impact on your food service paper.

The Right Paper for the Job: A Guide to Our Options

Choosing the right custom food paper is important for the best results. We offer several specialized papers, each unique in its capabilities.

Wax Paper

We recommend wax paper to wrap cold items like sandwiches and deli meats, and it can be used with parchment paper for our sandwich bags. The wax coating acts as a moisture/greaseproof barrier, keeping food fresh and non-stick during the unwrapping process.

Parchment Paper

If you are going to serve hot items, you would want to use our custom printed parchment paper​. It's heat-resistant and non-stick and can be used for baking, cooking, roasting, and grilling. Parchment paper is great for lining pans, wrapping sandwiches for panini presses, and serving hot pretzels and pastries.

Greaseproof Paper

Our greaseproof custom food paper was designed for oily foods, such as burgers, fries, and fish and chips, in mind. Our greaseproof paper type tests very well, resisting grease penetration to keep your take-out containers and trays clean. This paper is also breathable to avoid soggification of food. 

Kraft Paper

This is a very popular choice for rustic, natural, "look".  Our brown Kraft paper is strong, durable, and biodegradable. It is commonly used for lining baskets, wrapping sandwiches, and can be used as an overwrap style.

Get Specialized Paper

We also offer specialized papers like butcher paper for meat, freezer paper (with polyethylene coating) for frozen food storage, and patty paper (for burger patties). We can even print on Resealable Mylar Bags for long-term food storage. Our food paper is great for wrapping sushi and is great for lining pizza boxes.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been working with several companies - trying to nail down a box size and type for my organic tea business. Chris Martin was the ONLY rep in all of the companies I reached out to who was responsive, helpful, and walked me through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to give my small business dollars to Plus Printers! I will provide another review after I receive my custom product!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Chris Martin was so helpful and responsive! We needed custom folders made and looked at various different companies, but Plus Printers ended up offering the best quality and price. This was our first time ordering, but Chris guided us through every step and even sent us videos of sample folders and mockups of our final product so we could proceed with confidence. Thank you Chris and Plus Printers, we will definitely re-order when we run out of this batch.

We are very pleased with our packaging design! It was great working with Steven, I almost didn't work with Plus Printers because of their pricing but Steven went out of his way to try and negotiate prices with the sales department to fit our budget and offered us more budget-friendly packaging options as alternatives. Very responsive to my emails and made sure that our designs were how we wanted them! I look forward to working with them again soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

wonderful service from a company that went beyond expectation to help my project get up and running smoothly. My sales rep, Paul, and the design team at Plus Printers made sure to have every detail in place and gave me a quote other companies could not touch! Lead times were accurate and updates for shipping were by far the most stellar i have yet to see. Thanks a milion!
