Grease soaking through the wrap. A soggy bag by the time the food gets home. Plain paper that says nothing about your brand. Every takeaway kitchen knows the problem.
Custom greaseproof paper solves all three. It keeps the oil in. It keeps the food looking good. And it puts your logo in front of every customer.
Wax Papers Co supplies custom printed greaseproof paper to food businesses across the USA. We work with restaurants, cafés, bakeries, food trucks, delis, and takeaway shops. You pick the size, the paper, and the print. We ship it to your door with free US delivery.
Here’s everything you need to choose the right paper and place your order.
What Is Custom Greaseproof Paper?
Greaseproof paper is a food-safe paper that stops oil and grease from soaking through. The surface is pressed tight and smooth, so grease stays on one side. That’s what keeps a burger wrap from going see-through and a basket liner from marking the tray. It’s one of the custom food papers we supply.
“Custom” means it works for your brand, not just your food. You choose:
- The base paper
- Any coating your menu needs
- Your print — from a simple logo to full-color artwork
The result is branding that travels. It goes onto the counter, into the delivery bag, and onto every customer’s phone.
Greaseproof vs. Wax, Parchment, and Deli Paper
People mix up these four papers, but they work differently. Picking the right one saves money and avoids complaints.
| Paper | How it stops grease | Handles heat? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greaseproof | Tightly pressed fibers, plus an optional PE or silicone coating | Microwave-safe. Not for the oven. | Wrapping burgers, sandwiches, and fries. Lining baskets and trays. Takeaway and delivery. |
| Wax paper | A wax coating | No — the wax melts in heat | Cold wrapping, food separation, moisture protection |
| Parchment paper | A silicone coating | Yes — safe in the oven | Baking, oven lining, no-stick cooking |
| Deli paper | Light wax or coating | Low to medium | Deli counters, sandwich wrapping, presentation |
Simple rule:
- Use greaseproof to wrap or line hot and cold ready-to-eat food with a clean, brandable sheet.
- Use parchment when the paper goes in the oven.

Materials and Food Safety
Every greaseproof sheet we supply is made from FDA-approved, food-grade paper, prepared to ISO standards. It’s safe to touch food directly.
You can pick from two base papers, because different brands want a different look.
Kraft Paper (Natural Brown)
Kraft has a natural brown color and a rustic feel. It suits cafés, bakeries, burger shops, and food trucks that want an earthy look. It works great with black or single-color logos and simple patterns.
Bleached White Paper
White gives a clean, bright surface that makes color pop. It’s best for delis, bakeries, and fast-casual brands that want bright logos, colorful patterns, or a premium look.
Both papers also come in more stock colors: natural kraft, white, green, blue, and pink. So you can match your brand from the paper up.
Coating Options for Stronger Grease Resistance
Some foods are much greasier than others. The right coating decides whether the wrap holds or leaks. We match it to what you serve.
Uncoated Greaseproof
The paper’s own tight surface handles everyday grease. It’s great for bakery items, pastries, and lighter foods.
It’s also the most eco-friendly choice. Uncoated, natural greaseproof paper is usually compostable. That makes it a strong pick for brands that care about sustainability.
PE Coating
A thin PE (plastic) layer adds a stronger barrier against oil, sauce, and liquid. It also gives a glossy surface that makes printed colors bright.
Choose PE for your messiest items: smash burgers, loaded fries, fried snacks, and saucy sandwiches.
Silicone Coating
Silicone gives a smooth, non-stick surface. Food comes away clean and keeps its shape.
It’s ideal for bakery goods, pastries, donuts, and hot items that tend to stick.
Printing and Branding Options
Printing is what turns plain paper into packaging. We use food-safe inks, including water-based and vegetable inks. So the paper stays safe for food while your brand looks sharp.
Print as lightly or boldly as you like:
- Logo only — your logo repeated across the sheet in one or two colors. Clean and easy to recognize.
- Pattern design — your logo, icons, or text turned into a repeating pattern.
- Full coverage — edge-to-edge, full-color artwork for the biggest impact.
- Text and graphics — add a tagline, social handle, website, or QR code next to your logo.
For color, we offer:
- Full 4-color CMYK printing for detailed artwork
- PMS / Pantone matching when you need an exact brand color
No print-ready file? Our in-house design team can build the artwork from your idea or logo.
Accepted artwork formats: PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG, GIF, and PDF.
- Vector files (SVG, PDF) work best — they stay sharp at any size.
- Raster files (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF) also work — send them in high resolution (300 DPI or higher) for a clean print.
Available Sizes — Sheets and Rolls
Greaseproof paper comes in two formats:
- Sheets — for daily wrapping, basket lining, and quick service
- Rolls — for flexible, high-volume packaging
Custom sizes are available for both. So you can fit the paper to your food, basket, or tray.
We stock many standard sheet sizes, from small 4″ × 4″ slips to large 20″ × 28″ wraps, with dozens of sizes in between. A quick guide:
- Small (4″–7″): liners, small bakery items, single-serve wraps
- Medium (8″–13″): burgers, sandwiches, wraps, standard basket liners
- Large (14″–20″+): fish and chips, sharing portions, tray lining, full-coverage sheets
Not sure which size to pick? Send us your food or basket size, and we’ll suggest the closest fit — or make a custom one.
Common Uses by Food Business
Greaseproof paper works across almost every kind of food service:
- Burger and smash shops — burger wraps that hold the grease and the shape
- Fry and fast-food counters — fry paper and basket liners that stay dry
- Delis and sandwich shops — sandwich wraps and counter presentation
- Bakeries and cafés — non-stick wrapping for pastries and donuts
- Fish and chip shops — heavy portions wrapped with no leak-through
- Food trucks and takeaway — branded wrapping built for delivery
Every time, the paper does two jobs. It protects the food, and it markets your brand.
