Custom Butter Paper — Greaseproof Wrapping & Dairy Sheets, Printed With Your Logo
Custom butter paper is a lightweight 30–40 gsm grease-resistant wrapping paper carrying a light wax or plant-oil barrier, used across patisseries, dairies, cafés, and delis to wrap pastries, butter blocks, and grab-and-go items. Custom Printed Papers manufactures it semi-translucent or in natural kraft, prints it with your logo using soy and vegetable food-safe inks, and ships it free across the United States in 6 to 8 business days.
Custom butter paper is a lightweight 30–40 gsm grease-resistant wrapping paper, treated with a light wax or plant-oil barrier, used to wrap dairy, pastries, and patisserie items — not for oven baking.
It tests at TAPPI Kit 3–4 for grease resistance, holds a maximum temperature threshold of 220°F (104°C), complies with FDA 21 CFR 176.170 for direct food contact, and ships 100% PFAS-free (fluorine-free) on every batch.
Order it in pre-cut sheets or bench rolls, printed by flexographic, offset, or digital press depending on run length and color count. Select your gsm, format, and dimensions below, upload your branding, and receive a free digital proof within one business day.
Is Butter Paper the Same as Parchment Paper?
No. Butter paper is an uncoated-to-lightly-waxed wrapping paper with no silicone layer, which is why it stays wrapping-grade and is not oven-safe. Parchment paper is silicone-coated and rated to 450°F (232°C) for baking, while butter paper is built for cold and warm wrapping at the dairy counter, pastry case, and sandwich station. The table below separates the four food papers buyers most often confuse, so you order the substrate your menu actually needs.
| Paper Type | Coating / Barrier | Grease Resistance (TAPPI Kit) | Maximum Temperature | Oven-Safe | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Custom Butter Paper | Light wax / plant-oil barrier | Kit 3–4 | 220°F (104°C) | No | Pastry wraps, dairy & butter blocks, sandwich wrap |
| Custom Greaseproof Paper | Mechanical supercalendered, uncoated | Kit 5–8 | 200°F (93°C) | No | Hot fried sides, greasy baskets, burgers |
| Custom Parchment Paper | Silicone-coated | Kit 5–6 | 450°F (232°C) | Yes | Oven baking, roasting, high-heat tray lining |
| Custom Wax Paper | Paraffin / soy wax both sides | Kit 3–4 | Not oven safe | No | Cold display, candy wrapping, moisture retention |
| Custom Freezer Paper | Polyethylene (PE) coated one side | Kit 3–4 | Not oven safe | No | Cold storage, primal meat freezing |
Choose butter paper when the job is wrapping, lining, and presentation at room or refrigerator temperature. For any application that enters an oven, switch to custom parchment paper; for high-grease hot baskets, custom greaseproof paper carries the higher Kit rating.
Can You Bake With Butter Paper?
No — butter paper is wrapping-grade and is not oven-safe. Its light wax or plant-oil barrier softens and can scorch under sustained oven heat, because butter paper lacks the silicone coating that gives parchment its 450°F (232°C) tolerance. Use butter paper to wrap, line cold trays, and separate pastry layers; route any baking, roasting, or air-fryer task to custom parchment paper, which is engineered for direct oven contact.
Custom Butter Paper Types & Variants
Butter paper ships in four working configurations. Each one starts from a refined, semi-translucent base sheet and changes by surface treatment and format to match how your product is handled and displayed.
| Variant | Surface | Typical GSM | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| White Semi-Translucent Butter Paper | Smooth, light-passing | 30–35 gsm | Patisserie sheets, pastry boxes, premium presentation |
| Natural Kraft Butter Paper | Unbleached, matte | 35–40 gsm | Rustic and eco brand positioning, café wraps |
| Waxed Butter Paper | Light wax barrier | 35–45 gsm | Butter blocks, soft cheese, moisture-prone items |
| Sheets vs Rolls | Pre-cut or continuous | 30–45 gsm | Pre-cut for portion wrap; rolls for bench dispensing |
What GSM Butter Paper Do You Need?
Match gsm to the weight and grease load of the item you wrap. Butter paper runs lighter than parchment by design — most foodservice wrapping sits between 30 and 45 gsm, where the parchment range starts at 40 gsm and climbs.
| GSM | Weight Tier | Handling Feel | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 gsm | Light | Delicate, high translucency | Pastry & candy layering, tissue-style wrap |
| 35–40 gsm | Standard | Balanced strength & drape | Sandwich wrap, café pastries, dairy wrap |
| 45 gsm | Heavier | Higher wet strength | Block butter, soft cheese, roll dispensing |
What Makes Custom Butter Paper Food-Safe and Compliant?
Every butter paper batch clears FDA 21 CFR 176.170, the regulation governing paper components in direct contact with aqueous and fatty foods. That covers the base sheet, the wax or plant-oil barrier, and the food-safe inks used for printing.
All stock ships 100% PFAS-free (fluorine-free), aligning with state-level bans on fluorinated greaseproofing chemicals now active across multiple US markets. Base fibre is sourced under FSC chain-of-custody for responsible forestry, and printing uses soy and vegetable inks rated for indirect and direct food contact rather than solvent inks.
Custom Butter Paper by Business Segment
Different operations stress butter paper in different ways. Match the variant and gsm to your station so the wrap holds through service.
Bakeries & Patisseries
Use 30–35 gsm white semi-translucent sheets to separate pastry layers, line display trays, and wrap viennoiserie without grease bleed-through. The light-passing surface keeps lamination and glaze visible for case appeal.
Dairies & Creameries
Wrap butter blocks and soft cheese in 40–45 gsm waxed butter paper, which adds a moisture barrier that holds shape and prevents surface drying in refrigerated storage. This is the original application the paper is named for.
Cafés & Coffee Shops
Branded 35 gsm wrap turns a grab-and-go croissant or muffin into a printed touchpoint. Logo-printed butter paper carries your mark from the counter to the customer's table and into their photos.
Delis & Sandwich Shops
Butter paper doubles as sandwich paper at 35–40 gsm, wrapping subs, wraps, and pitas snugly while resisting condiment grease. It folds clean and holds a crease for a tight, presentable parcel.
Chocolatiers & Confectioners
Use 30 gsm sheets to layer truffles, caramels, and brittle without sticking, then wrap finished pieces for gifting. The semi-translucent finish suits premium retail and seasonal boxes.
Available Sizes for Custom Butter Paper
Stock sheet sizes cover the common foodservice wrap formats below, and any dimension is available as a custom cut from the master roll. Rolls ship in custom widths for bench and dispenser use.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Butter Paper
Is butter paper the same as parchment paper?
No. Butter paper carries a light wax or plant-oil barrier and no silicone, so it stays wrapping-grade at 220°F (104°C). Parchment paper is silicone-coated and oven-rated to 450°F (232°C). Use butter paper to wrap and line, parchment to bake.
Can you bake with butter paper or is it oven-safe?
No. Butter paper is not oven-safe and will soften or scorch under sustained heat. For oven, roasting, or air-fryer use, choose custom parchment paper instead.
What is butter paper made of?
It starts as a refined, semi-translucent cellulose base sheet from FSC-sourced wood pulp, then receives a light wax or plant-oil treatment that forms its grease and moisture barrier. No silicone or fluorinated chemicals are used.
What GSM is butter paper?
Butter paper typically runs 30–45 gsm. 30 gsm suits delicate pastry and candy layering, 35–40 gsm is the standard for sandwich and dairy wrap, and 45 gsm gives higher wet strength for block butter and cheese.
Is custom butter paper grease-resistant and moisture-proof?
Yes. It tests at TAPPI Kit 3–4 for grease resistance, and the waxed variant adds a moisture barrier suited to dairy and refrigerated storage. It is built for wrapping fatty and moist foods without bleed-through.
