The Everyday Hot Wrap
Wax coating delivers the core hot-paper job — warmth plus a moisture barrier — at the price point that suits volume. It wraps burgers, rolls, and hot sandwiches reliably, folds and tucks without cracking, and keeps food warm through the trip to the table or the short delivery hop. For the high-frequency items on a menu, wax-coated hot paper is the practical default that controls packaging cost without sacrificing warmth.
Wax vs PE for Hot Food
Match the coating to the grease load. Wax handles everyday moisture and warmth at Kit 7–9 and folds smoothly. Step up to PE-coated hot paper only when fried, high-grease food demands the Kit 10–12 barrier. For most warm wraps that are not deep-fried, wax delivers the performance the menu needs at lower cost.
