Oily stains, soggy sandwiches, and plain wrap that lacks an identifiable brand aren’t just unappealing; they are business killers. From the USA, restaurants, cafes, and even food trucks are discovering that paper that comes into contact with food is also in contact with their brand. The Deli Paper provides custom food wrapping paper that is durable against grease and moisture and places your logo in the hands of each and every customer.

What is Custom Food Wrapping Paper?

Food-safe sheet paper, kraft or white base, with a food-safe coating and a business’s branding printed on it. It’s used for direct sandwich, burger, baked goods, and deli wrapping to take the place of regular wax paper or generic wrap, providing brand reinforcement at the point of sale. Whereas with printed bags or boxes, the wrapping paper actually comes into contact with the food, and so material and coating are important as well as the print.

Key Features & Specifications

The Deli Paper manufactures food wrap paper in kraft base stock and white base stock (30-40 GSM) for sandwich wrap, as well as heavy-duty deli and butcher paper (45+ GSM). The desired protection determines the coating the paper will need to resist grease, moisture, or both, and the effectiveness of the coating varies depending on the conditions under which the paper is used.

Printing can be done in one to full color, according to order quantity, in either digital or flexographic, and FDA food-contact sheets are produced with every print. No one-size-fits-all size of a sheet  it’s completely customisable to fit sandwich wraps, burger sheets or bakery-specific sizes.

Business Applications

Custom-made food wrapping paper is used in restaurants for sandwiches, burgers, and takeout food when the branding has to move with the food. Pastries, sandwiches, and baked goods are wrapped in branded paper in cafés and bakeries to strengthen the brand at the point of sale and delivery. Burger stores depend on grease-resistant wrap that will maintain its integrity for the entire duration from the kitchen to the customer. Custom sizing is employed in the sandwich shop or food truck to save paper by not using oversized sheets with small servings on the go.

Benefits for Businesses

Brand visibility in the middle of functional packaging that the customer will have in their hands at the exact moment before eating is what custom-printed wrap offers. Grease-resistant and moisture-resistant coatings ensure food quality from the kitchen to the table without sogginess and breakdown, which plain paper would allow.

A clean, branded wrap paper enhances the customer experience, particularly when it comes to delivery and takeout orders where the packaging is the only physical interaction the customer has with the brand. Bulk ordering will have considerably reduced per-sheet costs over using small retail packs, resulting in custom wrap being more cost-effective than most operators realise at bulk order sizes. In addition, the same branded wrap throughout stores and throughout locations helps to build recognition city to city, not just store to store, for growing chains.

Buying Guide

The first step is to match coating to the main food product being covered: Greaseproof for burgers and fried foods, wax for cold foods and deli foods, PE coating for hot foods and foods that are hot and wet at the same time. The GSM of the wrap will depend on how much handling it requires for the wrap to survive; lighter GSM is suitable for quick-service wraps, heavier GSM for bakery and deli counter applications.

Verify MOQ before placing an order, as it has a large impact on the per-unit costs at low orders. Determine the printing technique to be used depending on the volume of the order flexographic will be more cost-effective for larger volumes; digital printing will be more suitable for smaller custom print orders. One of the common buying errors is not testing the paper with the food you are actually using and finding that it tears or has grease bleed-through after the first few orders. Be sure to ask for a sample before placing a bulk order.

The Deli Paper is a choice for many reasons.

The Deli Paper is a company that provides wholesale food wrapping paper to restaurants, cafés, and food distributors throughout the United States and handles printing the paper itself, not outsourcing the job. A low minimum order quantity allows restaurants with one location to use it, along with multi-unit chains. When orders are fulfilled within a short period, every reorder made is the same as the previous one, which is essential for brands who need a uniform product in each location.
