The wrapping paper also collapses at the most inopportune time. Oil spurts through the middle. During a rush order, sheets are torn. Blank paper is a missed opportunity to brand every article going out of the counter. Custom  Deli Paper is the solution to all three issues. It can stand up to the actual kitchen pace, with stands grease and moisture, and puts your logo right before each customer who unwraps their food. When food brands are already ordering wrapping paper every week, there is little additional cost in switching to a custom, correctly spec'd sheet, and it will be recompensed in fewer failures and higher branc`d recognition.

What Is Deli Paper?

Deli paper is a thin, food-safe paper used to wrap sandwiches, line baskets, and separate sliced or baked foods in delis, restaurants, bakeries, and other food service businesses. It is designed for direct contact with food, making it an ideal choice for food wrapping and presentation rather than shipping protection. Custom printed deli paper allows businesses to display their logo or brand pattern on every sheet, turning an everyday packaging material into a valuable branding opportunity at the moment an order is served or delivered.

Key Features & Specifications

Achieving the correct specification for real kitchen applications helps avoid most performance failures prior to occurrence.

Verify the type of coating prior to making a bulk wax paper order. Wax coating can resist light grease, but heavy oil-based products require PE coating to prevent bleed-through when in service. 

Business Applications

The deli paper is used in wrapping sandwiches and wrapping baskets in restaurants where rapid wrapping without tearing is more important than any other factor. Cafes use it to wrap pastry and to present clean counters during rush hour in the morning. It is used by bakeries to line display cases and to separate sticky or oily baked goods without the product being able to stick to the sheet.

Burger shops require high grease-resistance to make direct contact with the patty, as a failed wrap at this point causes a mess immediately at the point of handoff. Sandwich stores require bendable papers that can fold around non-uniform objects without tearing in between. Food trucks require light, mobile, paper that works in a small mobile kitchen just as well as it would work in a full restaurant, which may have fewer space and time constraints.

Benefits for Businesses

The majority of restaurants and bakeries are already incurring the cost of wrapping paper every week, irrespective of whether it is branded. When replacing custom printed sheets with printed deli paper, the supply budget is not often altered significantly. What it transforms is what each customer identifies with what they were given to eat, and transforms a standard supply expense into continuous, effortless marketing.

Buying Guide

Begin with your real case of use, not the cheapest case per. A burger store that wraps greasy patties requires much more resistance to grease than a bakery that lines a display case of dry pastries.

Correlate GSM and product weight and grease exposure. Oilier, heavier stuff is better on 30-40 GSM, whereas lighter, drier stuff is ok on 20-30 GSM. Confirm the coating type to your actual grease level in your kitchen before making a huge wholesale purchase, as the incorrect choice of coating is one of the most frequent reasons for mid-service failures.

Some of the errors that people make are not ordering a sample before the entire production, selecting paper based on costs without ensuring that it is certified as food-safe, and not considering the flexibility of MOQ that would allow a smaller company to test a design first before scaling it up to large amounts. Always insist on receiving a physical sample initially, and printing turnaround should be confirmed in writing before a launch or reorder date is solidified.

Why The Deli Paper Company?

The Deli Paper Company sells Wholesale Deli Paper without an added reseller markup to the cost of production. Custom printing remains affordable at affordable order quantities, and smaller restaurants and cafes do not have to be charged for branding that would otherwise be reserved for larger companies. Domestic production has resulted in fast turnaround; therefore, lead times are shorter than those in overseas sourcing. Low MOQs allow companies to test a design at full volume before they commit to a wholesale run, and quality control remains identical across all orders, so a case ordered this month will do the same as one ordered 6 months later.
