Why Greaseproof Is the Everyday Bagel Standard
Greaseproof gets its barrier from how the paper is milled, not from a wax or plastic coating. Dense supercalendering closes the fiber surface, so the sheet blocks butter and light grease while staying thin, foldable, and recyclable. A paper wrap also lets a bagel breathe, which keeps the crust from going soft the way a sealed plastic bag does. That combination suits high-volume bakeries and plastic-free brands at once.
Greaseproof vs Coated Paper for Schmear Bagels
Greaseproof handles plain, buttered, and light-schmear bagels at Kit Rating 5–8. A loaded cream cheese bagel needs more. For heavy schmear and hot breakfast sandwiches, step up to wax-coated bagel paper or PE-coated bagel paper for a stronger barrier.

The Recyclable, Plastic-Free Advantage
Greaseproof uses no coating, so it recycles and composts. That lets a bagel brand drop plastic from its packaging without losing grease protection. For a sustainability claim customers can verify, greaseproof is the bagel wrap to lead with.
