What Are Custom Food Basket Liners?

Custom food basket liners are food-safe sheets printed with your unique branding, perfect for lining trays and baskets. They enhance presentation while ensuring hygiene when serving food items.

Why Custom Food Basket Paper Liners Are Essential?

Custom basket liners for food are like unsung heroes that can be used in a variety of ways. Behind the simple look of the liners lies the smartness of the manufacturers and the creativity of brands. Custom tray liners are produced to safely present the food, considering the sustainability goals.

Not only do they help present food professionally and cleanly, but they are also an excellent way to increase the perceived value of your product and promote your brand. At Wax Papers Co., we manufacture liners with such a high level of precision that customers never risk avoiding your food items. Our liners are essential for every food business because:

• They keep baskets clean and dry.
• They protect food from grease and stains.
• They make food look attractive and neat.
• They help with branding and advertising.
• They show the business cares about hygiene.

Materials Selection And Pulping

To manufacture customized food basket liners, we use high-quality kraft paper that is derived from 100 % natural resources such as softwoods. Mechanical and chemical pulping is done to remove cellulose fibers from lignin, which makes a uniform sheet. Sometimes, we use bleach on the pulp to get bleached kraft paper that has a pristine white appearance.

For a more aesthetic look, we also give the option of additional treatment of pulp with alkaline treatments. The overall material and its treatment processes directly impact the overall appearance and material selection of food basket liner sheets.

Sheet Formation And Drying

After the preparation of pulp, we evenly distribute it on the mesh screen, where the excessive water is removed and a continuous sheet is formed. Press rollers are used that consolidate the fiber; aside from high-quality heated rollers, we use an infrared drying system that quickly removes the residual moisture of the paper and gives dimensional stability while preventing sheet curling as we know that all our customers are responsible for the environment and focus on energy conservation, which is why we use infrared rays that speed up the drying process and reduce energy consumption.

Coating Processes

Unlike other custom papers, custom paper liners for food trays do not contain specific coatings. We apply the coating based on the extent of duration for which customers want to use the liner and the type of food they have to serve. The common types of coatings are as follows:

Wax Coatings

Wax-coated or wax paper food basket liners are a hallmark of custom liners. The wax is applied in molten form or via microencapsulation to ensure uniformity and moisture resistance. After coating, the custom food basket lining sheets are cooled down on rotating drums that allow a rapid solidification of the wax layer and ensure a consistent barrier that prevents grease infiltration into the paper while retaining the paper’s flexibility.

Polyethylene (PE) Coatings

Like freezer paper, polyethylene coating can also be used on custom food basket liners. This enhances the moisture resistance and makes the presentation of saucy foods easy. We apply PE coating via extrusion or lamination methods. A 0.04 cm-thick sheet is pressed onto the paper web under heat and pressure for a tough and uniform layer application. The cooling nips solidify the coating that firmly adheres to the paper. PE-coated liners are ideal for freezer storage as they prevent moisture migration and freezer burn. Custom food service tray liners designed for direct food contact must comply with stringent regulations to assure consumer safety, including FDA Food Contact Substances and manufacturing standards under 21 CFR 176.170.

Silicone And Grease-Resistant Emulsions

Silicone-based emulsions are applied as a thin layer onto the surface of the paper sheets to give deli basket liners heat resistance properties, just like parchment paper. These coatings are cured under mild heat so that they securely bond with the paper sheet, so that sizzling hot food can be served. These liners withstand oven temperatures up to 220°C, making them suitable for reheating and baking, while wax paper is not oven safe and should be limited to cold or ambient uses.

Features Of Our Custom Food Basket Liners

Our custom printed food tray liners comes with different features such as:

PFAS Free

Following PFAS restrictions effective since February 2024, PFAS-based grease-proofing agents are phased out in U.S. markets, pushing manufacturers towards PFAS-free compliant alternatives. Regulatory shifts focus on eliminating long-chain PFAS due to environmental persistence and health concerns, accelerating the development of PFAS-free alternatives endorsed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Non Stick Surface

Thanks to a special coating that we apply on these disposable food tray liners these liners won’t stick with your food items. So, your customers can have a smooth eating experience.

Heat, Moisture, Grease, and Tear Resistant

We use durable 40 GSM kraft paper to manufacture these custom food basket liners cheaply. These liners are then coated with either silicone, wax, or PE coating depending on our food business needs. This coating makes these liners heat, grease and moisture resistant. So, you can easily serve your hot and fried food items on top of them. If you offer takeaways and want to pack your fried food items then you can also check our custom fry paper sheets for this purpose.

If your food business deeply cares about sustainability then you can use our compostable tray liners. These liners are made from kraft materials. They are biodegradable, recyclable, and compostable. We use eco-friendly inks to print them.
