Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper

Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper for Restaurants, Takeaways & Food Brands

Custom printed greaseproof paper gives restaurants, cafés, burger shops, bakeries and takeaway businesses a food-contact wrapping and lining material that can also carry the brand logo directly around or beneath the food.

Also searched as printed greaseproof paper, custom greaseproof paper, branded greaseproof paper, greaseproof paper with logo, custom food wrapping paper or branded food wrapping paper, it can be used for burgers, sandwiches, bakery products, takeaway food, baskets and other foodservice applications where grease resistance and brand presentation need to work together.

Packonic's current core range includes White and Brown rectangular greaseproof sheets, round greaseproof paper and custom-shape options. Verified White and Brown products use 40 GSM greaseproof paper, Food Safe 100% Virgin Paper, Offset Printing – High Definition and start from 250 pieces. Selected products also offer an Optional PFAS Free Paper specification.

What Is Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper?

Custom printed greaseproof paper is food-contact paper designed to resist grease and oils while carrying custom branding such as a logo, pattern, business name or other printed artwork.

It can be used in two main ways:

• Wrapping: folded around burgers, sandwiches, bakery products and other suitable foods.
• Lining: placed beneath food inside baskets, trays, boxes or other serving formats.

This makes greaseproof paper different from rigid food packaging. A box provides structure around the product, while greaseproof paper remains flexible and can wrap, line or separate food according to the service method.

Can Greaseproof Paper Be Custom Printed With a Logo?

Yes. Greaseproof paper can be custom printed with a logo, brand name or repeated artwork, allowing the paper itself to become part of the customer-facing food presentation.

Depending on the selected product, artwork can include:

• restaurant or company logos,
• repeat logo patterns,
• brand colours,
• simple illustrations,
• typography,
• seasonal designs,
• or campaign-specific artwork.

A repeat pattern is often useful for food wrapping because the paper can be folded in different directions while still leaving part of the branding visible.

What Is Greaseproof Paper Used For?

Greaseproof paper can be used across a wide range of foodservice applications.

Common uses include:

• burger wrapping,
• sandwich wrapping,
• bakery and pastry presentation,
• fast-food serving,
• basket lining,
• food-box lining,
• street-food service,
• takeaway orders,
• cafés,
• and restaurant food presentation.

The same broad paper category can support several uses, but the correct sheet size and shape should be selected around the actual food rather than using one sheet for every menu item.

Greaseproof Paper or Food Wrapping Paper: What Is the Difference?

Greaseproof paper describes the paper's grease-resistant foodservice function, while food wrapping paper describes how the sheet is being used.

In practice, custom printed greaseproof paper can serve as branded food wrapping paper when it is folded around burgers, sandwiches, wraps or suitable bakery items.

For example:

• a burger may be wrapped directly in greaseproof paper,
• a sandwich may be folded inside a larger sheet,
• a food basket may use the same paper as a liner,
• or a box may use a sheet beneath the food as an additional branded layer.

The important buying decision is therefore not only the product name, but whether the paper will be used for wrapping, lining or serving.

Greaseproof Paper or Food Box: Which Should You Choose?

Greaseproof paper and food boxes solve different packaging problems.

Choose Greaseproof Paper When:

• the food can be wrapped directly,
• a flexible liner is needed inside another package,
• the food is served in a basket or open container,
• the paper needs to fold around different product shapes,
• or the business wants a relatively large branded surface in direct food presentation.

Choose a Food Box When:

• the meal requires structural protection,
• several food components need to stay together,
• the product needs a rigid container for takeaway or delivery,
• or stacking and transport are important.

Many restaurants use both: custom food boxes provide structure while greaseproof paper creates an additional food-contact and branded presentation layer.

Which Custom Greaseproof Paper Should You Choose?

The best greaseproof paper depends on five main factors:

• food type,
• sheet size,
• White or Brown appearance,
• rectangular, round or custom shape,
• and required print design.

A burger shop may prioritise a square sheet that folds easily around burgers, while a bakery may require larger rectangular wrapping paper and a pizza or plate-based service may benefit from a round format.

White or Brown Greaseproof Paper?

Packonic offers both White and Brown custom printed greaseproof paper. The core paper specification can be similar, but the visual result is different.

White Greaseproof Paper

Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper – White provides a clean background for printed branding.

White paper can be especially useful when:

• the brand uses bright colours,
• high artwork contrast is important,
• the logo includes several colours,
• or a clean and contemporary food presentation is preferred.

Brown Greaseproof Paper

Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper – Brown provides a natural brown-paper appearance.

Brown greaseproof paper can suit:

• burger restaurants,
• street-food concepts,
• artisan cafés,
• bakeries,
• casual dining,
• and brands using dark or simple artwork.

The choice should primarily follow the visual identity and artwork rather than assuming White or Brown is technically better for every application.

What Sizes Are Available for Custom Greaseproof Paper?

The verified White and Brown Packonic greaseproof paper range includes several sheet dimensions:

• 500 × 700 mm
• 400 × 600 mm
• 335 × 500 mm
• 400 × 400 mm
• 297 × 420 mm
• 255 × 406 mm
• 335 × 335 mm
• 320 × 320 mm

This range allows businesses to choose between larger wrapping sheets and more compact square or rectangular formats.

Sheet size should be selected according to the finished food dimensions plus the extra paper required for folding, overlap or lining.

Which Greaseproof Paper Size Is Best for Burgers?

For burgers, square formats such as 320 × 320 mm or 335 × 335 mm can be useful starting points because the shape provides room to fold around a round or square burger presentation.

The correct size still depends on:

• burger diameter,
• bun height,
• number of fillings,
• whether the burger is fully wrapped or only partially wrapped,
• and whether another box or tray is used.

A compact burger and an oversized gourmet burger should not automatically use the same sheet.

Which Greaseproof Paper Size Is Best for Sandwiches?

Sandwiches often benefit from rectangular paper because the sheet needs to fold around a longer product.

Formats such as 255 × 406 mm, 335 × 500 mm, 400 × 600 mm or larger sheets can be evaluated according to sandwich dimensions and wrapping method.

For businesses whose primary need is a formed sandwich bag or pocket rather than a flat sheet, the dedicated Custom Printed Paper Food Pouches range is a better specialist category.

Round Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper

Not every foodservice setup needs a rectangular sheet. Packonic also offers round custom printed greaseproof paper in White and Brown.

Verified round dimensions include:

• 100 mm
• 170 mm
• 200 mm
• 250 mm
• 280 mm
• 300 mm
• 330 mm

Current round formats start from 1,000 pieces.

They can be useful where a circular liner better follows the presentation surface, including suitable plates, serving areas or round food applications.

Current options include Round Greaseproof Paper – White – Custom Printing and Round Greaseproof Paper – Brown – Custom Printing.

When Should You Choose Custom Shape Greaseproof Paper?

A rectangular or round sheet will suit most foodservice uses, but some presentations require another shape.

Custom Shape Greaseproof Paper can be considered when:

• the serving surface has an unusual outline,
• a standard rectangle leaves unnecessary excess paper,
• the paper forms part of a distinctive branded presentation,
• or the foodservice format requires a more specific cut.

Custom-shape products should be checked individually for dimensions, MOQ and production specification rather than assuming the same conditions as standard sheets.

What Does 40 GSM Greaseproof Paper Mean?

Packonic's verified key greaseproof products use 40 GSM greaseproof paper.

GSM describes paper weight per square metre. It is an important specification, but it should not be considered in isolation.

The final choice also depends on:

• sheet dimensions,
• how the paper will be folded,
• the amount and type of food contact,
• whether the sheet is a wrap or liner,
• and how the food is served or transported.

Is Packonic Greaseproof Paper Food Safe?

The verified core White and Brown Packonic greaseproof products use Food Safe 100% Virgin Paper.

Current first-party product specifications also list food-safe water-based ink on selected greaseproof paper products.

Businesses should still check the exact product specification before ordering because different food packaging formats across the wider Packonic range can use different materials and printing methods.

What Is PFAS-Free Greaseproof Paper?

PFAS refers to a group of fluorinated substances sometimes discussed in relation to grease-resistant food packaging.

Selected Packonic greaseproof paper products offer an Optional PFAS Free Paper specification.

This is important to describe accurately: PFAS-free should be treated as a product option, not as a blanket claim automatically applied to every item in the collection.

If PFAS-free paper is a purchasing requirement, confirm that option on the exact selected greaseproof product before ordering.

How Is Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper Printed?

The verified core White, Brown and Round greaseproof products use Offset Printing – High Definition.

Current first-party specifications for selected products also include:

• 1 or 2 Pantone colours,
• Full Colour CMYK,
• food-safe water-based ink,
• and single-sided printing.

The print specification should always be checked on the selected product because wholesale or specialist greaseproof formats can use a different printing process.

Pantone or Full Colour CMYK: Which Should You Choose?

The right print option depends on the artwork.

Choose Pantone Printing When:

• the design uses one or two brand colours,
• the logo is relatively simple,
• a repeat logo pattern is required,
• or the design depends on consistent spot colours.

Choose Full Colour CMYK When:

• the artwork contains several colours,
• illustrations are more complex,
• gradients or richer visual designs are required,
• or the brand presentation goes beyond a simple logo pattern.

A simple one-colour repeated logo can be highly effective on food wrapping paper, so more print colours do not automatically produce stronger branding.

How Should a Logo Be Designed for Greaseproof Paper?

Greaseproof paper is folded, wrapped and partially covered by food, so artwork should be designed differently from artwork on a rigid box.

Before approving a design, consider:

• using a repeat logo pattern so branding remains visible after folding,
• keeping important artwork away from areas likely to disappear beneath the food,
• testing White and Brown paper backgrounds separately,
• making logos large enough to remain recognisable after wrapping,
• and viewing the final design with an actual food item rather than only as a flat sheet.

Custom Greaseproof Paper for Burger Shops

Custom burger wrapping paper is one of the strongest applications for greaseproof paper because burgers combine direct food contact, oils, sauces and handheld eating.

A burger restaurant can use greaseproof paper:

• as the primary burger wrap,
• inside a burger box,
• beneath a burger in a serving basket,
• or as part of a larger burger-and-fries presentation.

If the business needs a rigid structural package, the specialist Custom Printed Burger Boxes category should handle that intent rather than this page.

Custom Food Wrapping Paper for Sandwich Shops

Sandwich shops can use greaseproof sheets as flexible custom food wrapping paper around sandwiches, panini and similar handheld products.

The main buying considerations are:

• finished sandwich size,
• how many folds are required,
• whether the sandwich is eaten immediately or carried away,
• and whether a flat sheet or formed paper pouch is more practical.

This distinction helps avoid confusing flat greaseproof wrapping paper with specialist sandwich bags and pockets.

Custom Greaseproof Paper for Bakeries & Cafés

Bakeries and cafés can use branded greaseproof paper for selected pastries, baked goods, sandwiches and counter-service products.

White paper can provide a clean visual background for colourful café branding, while Brown paper can complement artisan or natural visual identities.

The paper can also be used alongside food boxes, bakery packaging or outer carrier bags without needing every packaging component to repeat the same amount of artwork.

Greaseproof Paper for Takeaways & Street Food

Takeaway and street-food operations often need packaging that is quick for staff to handle and flexible across several menu items.

Flat greaseproof sheets can be useful because they:

• stack flat before use,
• can be folded around different foods,
• can line baskets or boxes,
• and keep the brand visible during handheld service.

The sheet size should still be standardised where possible so staff do not have to manage unnecessary packaging variants during busy service.

Greaseproof Paper vs Deli Paper

These terms can overlap in real-world foodservice language, but Packonic has a separate specialist category for Custom Printed Deli Paper.

This greaseproof category should remain the broader home for custom printed greaseproof sheets, food wrapping and grease-resistant liner paper, while buyers specifically searching for deli-paper formats can move to the dedicated Deli Paper collection.

This keeps the search intent clear instead of forcing both specialist terms onto the same page.

Greaseproof Paper vs Tray Liners

A greaseproof sheet can be used as a liner, but a business specifically buying pre-sized tray or placemat formats has a different purchasing intent.

For that requirement, explore Custom Printed Tray Liners & Placemats.

This page should remain focused on flexible greaseproof food paper rather than competing with the dedicated tray-liner category.

Is Greaseproof Paper the Same as Wax Paper?

No. Greaseproof paper and wax paper should not automatically be treated as the same product.

They may appear in similar food-wrapping searches, but their material construction and grease-resistance method can differ.

The verified Packonic products on this page are specified as 40 GSM greaseproof paper. Buyers looking specifically for greaseproof paper should therefore rely on the exact product material specification rather than using “wax paper” as an automatic synonym.

What Is the Minimum Order for Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper?

Verified standard White and Brown Packonic greaseproof paper currently starts from 250 pieces.

The round White and Brown formats currently start from 1,000 pieces.

This means there is no single MOQ for every product in the category.

The starting quantity depends on the selected format:

• Standard White greaseproof sheets: from 250 pieces
• Standard Brown greaseproof sheets: from 250 pieces
• Round White greaseproof paper: from 1,000 pieces
• Round Brown greaseproof paper: from 1,000 pieces
• Custom shapes and wholesale formats: check the individual product specification

Wholesale & Bulk Custom Greaseproof Paper

Restaurants, chains and foodservice businesses with predictable consumption may eventually require wholesale custom printed greaseproof paper or bulk branded food wrapping paper.

Before increasing order volume, calculate:

• average sheets used per day,
• usage by food item,
• different sheet sizes required,
• number of locations,
• seasonal demand,
• storage capacity,
• and how frequently the artwork changes.

Wholesale by-KG greaseproof options may use a different print method and lead time from the standard piece-based products, so they should be compared as a separate high-volume purchasing route rather than assumed to be identical.

How Long Does Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper Take to Produce?

Selected current standard greaseproof products list approximately:

• Standard delivery: 14–21 business days
• Express delivery: approximately 5–10 business days depending on the selected product

Wholesale and specialist formats can use different lead times, so the exact product page should remain the final reference before a restaurant launch, campaign or stock replenishment.

Is Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper Recyclable or Eco-Friendly?

Environmental characteristics should be stated at product level rather than applied broadly to every greaseproof item.

Selected current Packonic greaseproof products are listed as recyclable, and selected products offer Optional PFAS Free Paper.

However, terms such as:

• recyclable,
• PFAS-free,
• compostable,
• biodegradable,
• and recycled content

describe different characteristics and should not be used interchangeably.

For example, the verified core greaseproof material is listed as 100% Virgin Paper, so “recyclable” should not be confused with “made from recycled paper”.

Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper for Businesses Across Europe

Businesses sourcing custom printed greaseproof paper in Europe should compare the actual foodservice specification rather than choosing only by unit price.

Important factors include:

• food type,
• wrap or liner use,
• sheet dimensions,
• White or Brown paper,
• rectangular, round or custom shape,
• 40 GSM material,
• print colours,
• artwork layout,
• PFAS-free requirements where applicable,
• MOQ,
• and product-specific lead time.

Packonic.eu provides greaseproof food paper formats for European restaurants, cafés, bakeries, burger shops and takeaway businesses comparing custom branded wrapping and liner options.

Build a Complete Branded Food Packaging System

Custom printed greaseproof paper can work as one layer within a larger food packaging system.

The broader Custom Food Packaging category helps businesses compare the main food packaging families.

Custom Food Boxes provide structure for meals and takeaway orders, while greaseproof paper can wrap or line suitable products inside.

Custom Printed Paper Bags provide the outer carrier for the complete takeaway order.

Custom Printed Napkins add another practical branded foodservice item for customers.

What Should You Check Before Ordering Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper?

Before ordering custom printed greaseproof paper, define the real foodservice use first.

• Application: wrapping, lining or serving.
• Food type: burger, sandwich, bakery item, fast food or another suitable product.
• Sheet size: choose dimensions that allow enough room for folding or lining without excessive waste.
• Shape: compare rectangular, round and custom-shape formats.
• Colour: choose White or Brown according to artwork and brand identity.
• Material: verified core products use Food Safe 100% Virgin Paper.
• GSM: verified core products use 40 GSM Greaseproof Paper.
• PFAS: selected products offer an Optional PFAS Free Paper specification.
• Printing: verified core products use Offset Printing – High Definition.
• Colours: selected products support Pantone and CMYK printing.
• Artwork: design for the final wrapped or lined presentation rather than only the flat sheet.
• MOQ: standard White and Brown sheets start from 250 pieces; round formats start from 1,000 pieces.
• Delivery: check the exact selected product because standard, express and wholesale lead times differ.
• Sustainability: verify recyclability, PFAS-free status and any other environmental attribute on the exact product.

Custom printed greaseproof paper works best when sheet size, food type, paper colour, print design and service method are selected together. By choosing the paper around the actual way food is wrapped, lined or served, restaurants and takeaway brands can create a practical grease-resistant packaging layer while keeping the logo visible from kitchen preparation through to the customer's final food experience.
