The format earns its place on a busy line. A roll slows a cook down at the exact moment speed matters, right as hot food needs wrapping. A flat stack of pre-sized sheets removes that delay and keeps every wrap the same size, which keeps the counter moving through a rush.
What sizes do fry paper sheets come in?
Size the sheet to the portion plus a fold allowance. A 10×10 inch sheet wraps a small fry order. A 12×12 inch sheet handles broast or tenders. A 14×14 or 15×16 inch sheet covers a full fish supper. Custom Printed Papers cuts any size up to large-format sheets.

Why are fry paper sheets interleaved?
Interleaving stacks the sheets so each one lifts free without dragging the next. A cook grabs a single sheet with greasy or gloved hands, every time. The stack stays flat and dispensable through a full service, which is what keeps pre-cut sheets faster than a roll.
A stuck stack defeats the whole point. If two sheets come up together, the cook has to stop and separate them mid-wrap, and the time saving disappears. Proper interleaving is the detail that decides whether the format actually speeds the line.
Which coating should fry paper sheets have?
Greaseproof handles fries and light fried items. Wax adds barrier for greasier wraps. PE blocks the heavy oil from fish and wings. Silicone tolerates heat for sheets that line a warmer. The food load sets the coating, so a chip shop and a wing joint need different sheets.
A fish supper bleeds more oil than a fry order, and a light greaseproof sheet shows it through the wrap within minutes. PE or silicone holds that load to the table. Choosing the coating for the heaviest item on the menu is the safe call.
What GSM works best for a wrapping sheet?
Fry paper sheets run 30 to 50 gsm. Light 30 to 35 gsm stock suits fries and quick wraps. Standard 35 to 45 gsm stock suits broast and mixed fried items. Heavy 45 to 50 gsm stock wraps fish and wet, dripping food without tearing at the fold.

Can fry paper sheets be printed both sides?
Most fry sheets print on one side, the face the customer sees, with food-safe inks that hold against heat and oil. Single-side printing keeps the food-contact surface ink-free where it matters. Double-side printing is available when the wrap shows both faces in service.
For most wraps, one printed face is all the customer ever sees, so single-side printing is the cost-efficient default. Where a sheet is folded to show its back, like an open fish wrap on a tray, a second printed face earns its cost.
Are fry paper sheets food-safe and PFAS-free?
Yes. Fry paper sheets meet FDA 21 CFR 176.170 for direct food contact and print with inks under FDA 21 CFR 175.300. Grease resistance comes from AKD sizing and coatings, not fluorochemicals, so the sheets are PFAS-free and clear of state packaging bans.
