Custom Cheese Paper

Though there are several types of custom paper and any of them can be used to wrap cheese the best thing is to use cheese paper. This is because cheese has different textures and a very short shelf life if the appropriate temperature is not provided and cheese wrapping paper is specially designed considering the nature of cheese.

This paper is manufactured to provide the optimal balance of moisture and oxygen transfer due to which cheese remains in its best quality without the fear of spoilage and contamination. Furthermore, by placing your order at our company, you can get printed cheese paper that will help you in the promotion of your brand.

What Is Cheese Paper?

Custom paper to wrap cheese is a specially designed packaging option to wrap cheese. This allows the cheese to breathe without losing its moisture. It is usually composed of multiple layers and sometimes contains coatings to further enhance the protection of cheese wheels or slices. Cheese wrapping paper also allows the cheese to mature steadily, which is essential for certain types of cheese that require aging to get their perfect texture.

Via this paper, you can give a perfect barrier to your cheese from the external environment and prevent the hardening of cheese. So if you have been facing the issue of cheese spoilage then nothing can be more useful than the use of custom cheese wrap.

Manufacturing Process Of Cheese Paper

As a cheese paper wholesale manufacturer, we use both chemical and mechanical methods to produce the paper that has all the properties required to wrap and store cheese. So if you have been facing the issue of poor quality then our custom food wrapping paper is an excellent option.

Chemical Process

The chemical process begins with the pulping of raw material in which we use wood chips or recycled paper. After this, we treat pulp with sodium hydroxide or sulfur dioxide that breaks down the lignin into cellulose fibers. After this we clean the fiber and bleach it to produce and smooth white base paper.

Later on, coatings are applied that enhance the moisture and grease resistance of paper. Usually, we use wax coating and silicone coating that give the paper properties of wax paper and parchment paper respectively. These coatings prevent over-dryness of the paper and enhance food safety.

Mechanical Process

In the mechanical process, the physical pulping of the paper is done. We grind the raw material to produce fibers. These fibers are then dried and passed through a series of rollers. This process is called calendaring. This is an essential step for the manufacturing of cheese storage paper with a smooth surface. Lamination also comes under the mechanical process that enhances the thickness of paper and gives an additional protective layer.

Types of Coatings Applied To Cheese Paper

The application of coatings is essential to provide the cheese paper with the required properties of moisture and grease resistance while ensuring breathability. Considering the different requirements of brands, we have several options for coatings, such as:

• Wax Coating
• Polyethylene (PE) Coating
• Silicone Coating
• Micro-perforation
• Acrylic or Water-based Coatings

Printing Methods Suitable For Cheese Paper

For custom printed cheese paper, we use food-safe and sustainable inks that give an attractive appearance to the paper. The purpose of printing is to enhance the attractiveness of the paper so that brands can get promotional and presentational benefits from it. We have various printing methods, and the most suitable options are as follows:

Offset Printing

It is an ideal option for custom papers such as cheese, freezer, or greaseproof paper. Offset printing is an ideal option for high-quality and consistent results. So brands that need bulk orders with fine details and sharp images can go with this option.

Flexographic Printing

Flexography printing includes flexible printing plates that are suitable for medium to large-sized prints. This is a cost-effective method that gives vibrant designs.

Screen Printing

Screen printing is a versatile option that gives bold and simple designs with vibrant colors. This is not as precise as offset printing but if you have small order requirements and simple prints then you can opt for this printing method.

Digital Printing

Digital printing is one of the most ideal options for short runs. This printing method allows for a quick turnaround time with high-resolution images. This is an economical option for short runs as no setup is required.

The four above-mentioned printing options are suitable for cheese paper wrap. Aside from these options, there are a few printing methods that are unfit for paper printing, including the following:

Gravure Printing

Gravure printing is not suitable for custom cheese paper as it is costly and is preferred for high volumes. It uses engraved cylinders that are not inefficient for printing on delicate surfaces and cannot tear the paper.

Inkjet Printing

Inkjet printing is not good for cheese paper printing as in this method ink can smudge and bleed particularly if the paper is coated. It is also less durable due to which it may not withstand conditions that cheese wrap is subjected to during storage.

Laser Printing

Laser printing involves high heat that can damage the paper and its coating. The printed design via this method fades away when exposed to high moisture, which is a common condition for cheese and freezer paper.

Temperature And Moisture Resistance

Simple or wax paper for cheese storage is manufactured to withstand a wide range of temperature and moisture fluctuations. Nonetheless, the type of coating is a major factor that determines whether we can use the paper under high temperatures and moisture or not. Below are certain conditions based on which we can use
