Custom greaseproof paper is widely used in the food service industry due to its high resistance to fat. This paper not only brings innovation to your food serving but also retains the extra fat oozing out of the food inside the wrap and prevents the hands of the customers from getting messy.
This paper is one of the finest and most secure options for brands that are looking for ways to get rid of unsustainable packaging papers. Unlike synthetic packaging, it does not leave any residue behind. At our company, we manufacture packaging paper with high-end material so that you never have to face embarrassment in front of your customers. From greaseproof paper sheets to rolls and custom dimensions, you can order anything at your convenience.
Why Use Greaseproof Paper?
As we have plenty of other custom food wrapping paper options available in the market, we must invest in grease-resistant paper. This is a common question that may come to your mind as well. The simple answer to this question is that the attributes of grease-proof paper are way much different than regular wraps such as deli paper or custom parchment paper.
All the other papers are coated with different materials to enhance their quality; however, printed greaseproof paper sheets are used uncoated. Despite the absence of coatings, this paper works excellently to prevent grease leakage and keep your food presentation impeccable and clean.
Perfect Material For Premium Protection
Greaseproof paper is made of kraft paper, which is not only a sustainable alternative but also a sturdy option. This is produced via softwood fiber that contains a high amount of lignin. This lignin is broken down into constituent cellulose molecules by heating the wood chips in a basic solution. After this, the pulp is spread over a cover, and the extra water is removed. Later on, this paper passes through a calendaring machine where the heated rollers press the paper to make it dense and remove the excess water.
How Greaseproof Paper Sheets Resist Grease?
The question persists about the ability of the customized grease-proof paper to remain resistant to grease despite the absence of any coating. Say, in wax paper, we see that the paper is resistant due to the wax coating. The reason why grease-resistant paper or greaseproof paper bag repels the oils lies in its molecular structure and chemistry.
In simple words, we can say that due to the difference in the polarity of the cellulose fiber (which makes the paper) and fat molecules, they do not allow interaction between them. In addition to this, the paper fibers are tightly woven, and there remain few to no pores through which the fats can ooze out. That is why, regardless of the absence of coating, the paper remains resistant to grease. Aside from this, there are certain additives and sizing that are sometimes used in custom greaseproof paper to make it more oleophilic (resistant to oils).
Printing For Presentation And Promotion
Do you think that a simple and clean paper will help you in brand promotion or grab the attention of customers? Certainly not! This is because printed designs give the packaging an identity and show the customer which brand the product belongs to.
Furthermore, a custom printed greaseproof paper casts a positive impression of your brand on the customers and helps you enhance your sales. One thing that we must keep in mind while manufacturing the paper is the use of food-grade inks. No brand can bear such a loss, as it not only leads to the branding but also poses a hazard to the health of the consumers. To ensure this, we use the following food-grade inks:
- Soy-based inks
- Water-based inks
These inks have the required vibrancy and longevity without any health hazards. You can get any intricate or bold pattern printed on the paper with the logo of your brand to give a refined look to your food presentation. For printing on paper, we use the following methods:
- Screen printing
- Digital printing
- Flexography
- Gravure printing
Applications Of Grease-Proof Paper
The main use of personally designed greaseproof paper rolls or sheets is to wrap foods. However, there are several other non-food applications too. Let’s first see the food applications:
Food Packaging
You can food products that contain grease. This will prevent the penetration of grease and keep the food items neat and hygienic. Wrapping of burgers and fries is the common option.
Maintain Freshness
The paper’s non-porous surface does not allow the liquid to penetrate through it. This prevents the flavored sauces from oozing out of the food and hence the taste retains for a long duration.
Enhance Presentation
You can use customized greaseproof sheets to present the food professionally. This not only makes your food more presentable but also makes sure that your food remains protected from external grease and microbiota.
The non-food applications of the paper are as follows:
Packaging Sensitive Items: It is used in packaging goods such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other products where a barrier against oils or contaminants is essential.
Cosmetics and other sensitive items such as pharmaceutical products are packed in t to give the products a barrier against oils and contaminants.
Protective Uses
You can also use custom printed greaseproof paper sheets as a protective layer during the manufacturing process and storage to prevent contamination from undesirable elements.
Printing And Labeling
The non-adhesive and grease-resistant nature of the paper makes it a suitable option to be used as a release paper liner for stickers or labels.
