A tray of croissants emerges from the oven, perfect, and is passed across the counter in a white paper monochrome with no word of the croissant’s baker. It’s in that space between the product and the way it’s presented that bakeries lose repeat customers quietly. It is closed by custom-printed parchment papers. That same sheet that lines the pan at 5 am can be used to wrap the pastry on the counter and take your logo from production to display right to the customer’s first bite. The definition of what to specify, how to purchase custom printed parchment paper, without paying too much, and how The Deli Paper can make a supply item a branding item.

What is Custom Printed Parchment Paper?

Custom printed food wrapping paper is a food grade, silicone coated paper and can be printed with your logo, pattern or brand colors. The non-stick parchment paper performance and the oven resistance are provided by the silicone layer, which makes it useful as a pan liner, pastry wrap or display-case sheet. It is different from plain wax paper, which won't withstand baking, and from normal food grade greaseproof paper, which is oil resistant but not always heat resistant.

What makes this packaging the best choice for your bakery?

On-the-spot baked goods are sold at the bakery. Every time a customer takes a picture of their purchase, your brand is being featured in their social streams, and there’s no extra cost. That’s the realistic sales impact on better recall and a more upscale image at the point of sale, not a sales increase.

The utilitarian side also adds up. Delicate bakes and cuts are protected from scratching on pans by the non-stick release. Food grade greaseproof paper coating prevents oil from seeping through its presentation during the trip to the car. Purchase from the manufacturer in bulk to reduce cost per sheet and a single piece serving as a liner and wrap will make inventory easier. Uncoated kraft or unbleached versions also indicate an eco-conscious brand, something consumers at the bakery are noticing and appreciating.

Use Cases by Industry

There are slight variations to every segment’s spec, so match it to the job.

Customization Options

Custom printed parchment paper can be customized in half sheet, full sheet or custom sizes and even be printed as rolls for kitchens with odd pan sizes. Logos, repeat patterns and brand colors work well with flexographic printing, at volume. Single colour runs can be lower in cost and can be done in less time while multi colour runs can be done by premium retail brands. MOQs are based on volume so a single location bakery won't be required to place warehouse sized orders. Turnaround is based on artwork approval and run size, check at quote stage.

Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Sheet

Start with GSM. Lighter sheets are good for dry cookies and pastries, heavier stock for buttery laminated doughs and longer bakes. Then select the coating such as silicone (for an oven) or a greaseproof coating (for a wrap only application). Base your MOQ on actual weekly usage for ordering too much will cause your paper to age in store, ordering too little will result in multiple smaller deliveries, which are more expensive. Lastly, be sure to match the size of the sheets to your actual pans before approving a design.

The most common error is purchasing based on the cost of the sheet per cent. An inexpensive sheet that has one-sided silicone coverage is not consistent in its release, will burn around the edges, and will end up costing more in batches that fail than a high-quality sheet will.
