A burger that’s wrapped in white paper is just as tasty as one wrapped in your logo. Just doesn’t get remembered. When you wrap your food in custom food wrapping paper, you’re putting your brand in your customer’s hands for the entire meal –and for a chain with new stores opening every week, that’s thousands of brand moments per week.

Food wrapping paper is printed on greaseproof, waxed, and kraft paper with food-safe inks, and cut to your kitchen size. The sheet on your new branch is the same as the one you used in the original branch.

Why would the fast-growing restaurant chains make the switch to printed food wrapping paper?

When ordering printed food wrapping paper from a single supplier, all kitchens have the same spec. It also provides marketing services you already pay for. From the first bite to the last, the wrap remains in the customer’s hand, and it can be seen in pictures long before the meal is over. Very few costs are scrutinized on a per-sheet basis like packaging costs.

What Is The Real Use Of Custom Food Packaging Paper?

The most significant benefit is control. Selecting the paper, size, and coating eliminates trial and error when it comes to wrap performance on a busy Friday night. 

Below the reason why we need this paper

• Keep grease inside: Greaseproof sheets prevent sauces, oils, and grease from getting on hands, trays, and takeaway bags.
• Less waste at the counter: 1 size of a sheet for your menu means staff use 1, not 2, wraps.

All takeout/deliveries/dine-in orders are branded the same.

What are some ways to modify the food wrap paper you use?

First, choose the restaurant wrapping paper. Saucy wax suits grease and fried food; dry wax suits sandwiches and deli counters; wet wax suits moisture; and kraft gives bakery products a natural look. They come in common sizes of 12×12, 14×14, and 15×15, and rolls are offered for high-volume kitchens.

The print is next. Large runs are typically printed at low cost with 1 or 2-color flexo, whereas detailed artwork and short runs would vary to full-color digital printing. A repeating all-over pattern is generally recommended, as it can often lead to a logo appearing only on the inside when the food is wrapped.

FAQs

Q: What’s the smallest number of sheets of custom food wrapping paper? 

A: Digital short runs begin at 1,000 sheets per design and are suitable for testing out a new look at one site. The flexo printing price per sheet begins to fall sharply at about 10,000 sheets of paper per chain-wide order.

Q: When it comes to wrapping food, is printed wrapping paper safe for direct contact with food? 

A: Yes. We use food-grade paper, food-safe water-based or soy-based inks, and PFAS-free, grease-resistant coatings. You can have compliance documents produced on request for your local health inspector.

Q: To use greaseproof or wax paper?

A: For burgers, fried chicken, and anything heavy on the sauce, greaseproof is better. Wax paper is used to wrap sandwiches, deli goods, and foods that don’t require grease resistance, but require moisture protection.

Q: Will the ink rub off the food? 

A: No. Printed using food-safe inks that are completely cured prior to packing and can only be printed on the outside of the sheet.

Q: Is there any way each location could be able to reorder independently? 

A: Yes. Your approved design and specs remain on file, no re-proofing is needed by any branch, and wholesale food wrapping paper pricing is consistent throughout the branches.

Q: What is the production time? 

A: A free digital proof will be sent to you within a few days after your artwork is sent. In the majority of cases, most runs will be shipped within 2 to 3 weeks of proof approval.
