Why Choose Waxed Sandwich Paper?
Waxed is the moisture-barrier option in the custom sandwich paper range. The dry-wax coating gives a smooth, non-stick face that folds cleanly and releases easily, which suits saucy menu items, warm sandwiches, and anything prone to sticking. It delivers a slightly stronger barrier than uncoated stock while keeping the lightweight feel customers expect from a sandwich wrap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is waxed sandwich paper?
It is sandwich paper with a light dry-wax coating that adds a non-stick surface and stronger moisture resistance, ideal for saucy and warm fillings.
Is waxed sandwich paper microwave-safe?
Wax coatings are not recommended for the microwave or oven. For reheating, choose greaseproof; for baking, choose parchment paper.
Does waxed sandwich paper stop sandwiches sticking?
Yes. The dry-wax surface gives a clean, non-stick release, which keeps melted cheese and sauces from clinging to the wrap.
Can I print my logo on waxed sandwich paper?
Yes. We print it in CMYK or PMS Pantone with food-safe inks, in white or kraft, so your branding faces out on every wrap.
