Will It Hold a Wet Sandwich Without Leaking Through
That depends on what you are wrapping and which paper you order. A standard white deli sheet at 35 to 40 GSM holds a dry turkey club or a BLT without issue. A waxed sheet is what you need for a meatball sub, a Philly cheesesteak, or anything with a sauce that sits wet for more than a few minutes. The industry measures grease resistance on a Kit Level scale from 1 to 12. Our standard deli paper sits between Kit Level 3 and Kit Level 5 - which covers everything from a dry sandwich counter to a medium-grease basket setup. For heavily fried food, you need greaseproof paper, not deli paper. We make that too and it starts at Kit Level 6.
| Use Case | Recommended Option | What You Are Wrapping | Paper That Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry Items | Pastries, bagels, cold cuts | Dry food presentation and basic handling | White or brown uncoated, 25 to 35 GSM |
| Standard Sandwiches | Turkey, chicken, BLT | Classic deli and cold sandwich configurations | White or brown, 35 to 40 GSM |
| Wet Subs | Meatball, Philly, marinated chicken | Hot, saucy, or high-moisture items | Waxed deli paper, 35 to 40 GSM |
| Basket Liner | Fries or chips | Fried appetizers and side presentation | White greaseproof — see our greaseproof page |
| Oven Use | Baking applications | High-heat environments and baking pans | Not deli paper — use parchment |
White, Brown Kraft or Wax Paper - Which One Does Your Business Need?
Three materials. Different surfaces, different uses, different buyers. Pick the one that fits your counter.
Custom White Deli Paper
Made from bleached kraft, white deli paper gives you the cleanest print surface in this category. Full colour logos print sharply without bleed or dulling, and the paper holds its structure through a standard sandwich wrap. Most sandwich shops and fast casual restaurants use white deli paper with printed logos because the brand mark reads clearly at the point of handoff. The moment the customer first sees what they are about to eat.
Brown Kraft Deli Paper
Unbleached kraft with no chemical treatment. Our customized brown deli paper is the most sustainable option in this range and the natural choice for artisan delis, farmers market vendors and any brand that leads with an eco-first identity. The natural surface still takes a clean one or two colour logo print, and the unbleached material means no chlorine in the manufacturing process.
Waxed Deli Paper
Paraffin or soy wax coating on the food contact side. The wax layer creates a moisture barrier that keeps wet fillings from being pushed through the paper. If you are wrapping a dripping meatball sub, a marinated item or anything with a sauce that pools, custom waxed deli paper is the correct choice. It is not oven safe. The wax melts above 200 degrees Fahrenheit and the paper should not go near a heat lamp for extended periods either.
Sheets or Rolls - How Your Counter Setup Decides the Format
The format you order depends on how your counter runs, not on preference. Both carry the same print quality. The difference is in throughput.
| Format Type | Operational Application | Available Dimensions / Specifications |
|---|---|---|
| Sheet Format | Pre-cut to your specified size. Ideal for lower-volume counters, food trucks, and food service operations running without a standalone dispenser mount. ⚡ Faster to grab and wrap when line speed is not an operational bottleneck. | Fully customized and tailored to your specific application requirements. |
| Roll Format | Continuous roll engineering engineered to mount directly on any standard deli dispenser. This setup completely removes the step of peeling individual sheets. ⏱️ At a high-volume lunch counter executing 200 wraps in 90 minutes, this saved step significantly improves throughput. |
Roll Widths Available: 12-inch, 15-inch, 18-inch, and 24-inch configurations. *Please confirm your existing dispenser hardware width prior to ordering. |
What Size Deli Paper Do You Need
Most buyers already know their size. If you are new to ordering custom deli paper, use this as a reference.
| Sheet Dimensions | Best Operational Application | Sizing & Selection Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| 10 x 10 Inch | Small pastries, bagels, snack wraps, and single-item cold cuts. | The smallest standard size available; highly efficient for single bakery items and low-profile snacks. |
| 12 x 12 Inch | Standard sub sandwiches, classic burgers, and everyday deli orders. | The deli counter standard. Covers a standard sub sandwich with enough precise overlap to fold and seal cleanly. This is the exact size most sandwich shops order. |
| 14 x 14 Inch | Footlong subs, oversized premium burgers, and wraps with heavy or dense fillings. | Engineered for high-volume or multi-layered setups. If a standard 12x12 inch sheet leaves your staff short on the final fold, upgrade to this size. |
| 18 x 24 Inch | Oversized menu items, catering sharing boards, and premium display use. | Large-format commercial wrapping designed to handle high-profile platters, bulk configurations, or decorative tray lining. |
| Custom Sizes | Non-standard counters, proprietary brand items, and specialist wrapping applications. | Tailor-made dimensions are engineered completely from scratch upon request to fit your unique operational specifications perfectly. |
12 by 12 inch is the most common order across our deli paper customers. If you are not sure, start here.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is custom deli paper?
Custom deli paper is a food grade grease resistant paper manufactured for direct food contact and printed with a business logo or brand design. It comes in white, brown kraft and waxed finishes in sheet and roll format, and is used by restaurants, sandwich shops, delis, bakeries and food trucks to wrap and brand food at the point of service. All materials comply with FDA 21 CFR 176.170.
Is custom deli paper safe to use with hot food?
Yes, at most food service temperatures. Uncoated and waxed deli paper handles food up to 180 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit without breakdown. It is not oven safe and should not go into a heat lamp station for extended periods. For oven and baking applications, silicone-coated custom parchment paper is the correct choice.
What GSM do I need for a sandwich shop?
35 to 40 GSM is the standard for a busy sandwich counter. It is heavy enough to resist light grease and hold its shape through a full wrap, and flexible enough to fold without cracking under fast single-handed techniques. Go lighter at 25 to 30 GSM only for dry items like pastries or cold cuts. Go heavier at 45 to 50 GSM if your fillings are consistently wet or sauced.
What is the minimum order for custom printed deli paper?
The minimum order is 500 sheets. Wholesale pricing tiers start at 2,000 sheets. If you are ordering for the first time, we recommend requesting a free sample pack before placing a production order so you can check print quality and material weight against your actual counter setup.
What is the difference between white and brown deli paper?
White deli paper is bleached kraft - clean surface, sharp full colour print, professional look. Brown deli paper is unbleached kraft - natural appearance, no chemical treatment, and the better choice for brands that lead with sustainability or an artisan identity. Both are FDA 21 CFR 176.170 compliant and available with full custom printing from the same minimum order.
