Custom Freezer Paper — Poly-Coated Meat & Food Wrap, Printed With Your Logo
Custom freezer paper gives butchers, fishmongers, delis, and frozen-food brands a poly-coated wrapping paper that stops freezer burn and carries your branding on the printable matte side. Custom Printed Papers manufactures it in white and natural kraft, in rolls and sheets, and ships it free across the United States in 6 to 8 business days. Place it alongside your other wraps in the full Custom Food Paper range.
Custom freezer paper is a poly-coated kraft wrapping paper that blocks air and moisture to prevent freezer burn, with a printable matte side for branding — built for freezing meat, poultry, and fish, not for oven use.
The FDA-approved polyethylene coating seals out air and moisture, holds temperatures down to -40°C, keeps meat fresh for 6 to 12 months in the freezer, and prints with 100% food-safe soy and vegetable inks.
Order freezer paper as continuous rolls or pre-cut sheets, in white or natural kraft, with a poly (PE) or wax coating. Select your weight, format, and size below, upload your artwork, and receive a free digital proof within one business day.
What Is Custom Freezer Paper and What Is It Made Of?
Freezer paper starts as a strong kraft base, then takes a polyethylene (PE) coating on one side. That coated side forms the moisture-and-air barrier that faces the food, while the uncoated matte side stays printable and easy to label. The two-sided construction is what separates freezer paper from ordinary wrapping paper: one surface protects, the other brands. We measure it by basis weight, and we coat and print it to your specification.
Does Freezer Paper Actually Prevent Freezer Burn?
Yes. Freezer burn happens when air reaches frozen food and draws out moisture, leaving grey, dry patches. The PE coating on freezer paper seals that air and moisture out, so wrapped meat, poultry, and fish hold their color, texture, and flavor for 6 to 12 months in the freezer. Freezer paper performs this job in cold storage only — it protects in the freezer, never in the oven.
Freezer Paper vs Wax, Butcher, and Parchment Paper
These papers look similar but solve different problems. Freezer paper carries a one-side poly coating built to stop freezer burn; the others do not. Use the table below to order the right paper for the job, and route specialized work to the matching product.
| Paper Type | Coating | Oven-Safe | Freezer-Burn Protection | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Custom Freezer Paper | PE (poly), one side | No | Yes | Freezing meat, poultry, and fish |
| Wax Paper | Wax, both sides | No | No | Cold display, non-stick wrap |
| Butcher Paper | Heavy kraft, breathable | No | Partial | Fresh meat wrap and display |
| Parchment Paper | Silicone | Yes (450°F) | No | Oven baking and roasting |
Which Side of Freezer Paper Faces the Meat?
The shiny, poly-coated side faces the food, and the matte paper side faces out. The coated side seals against the meat to lock in moisture, while the printable matte side gives you a surface to label the cut, weight, and date — or to carry your brand.
Types of Custom Freezer Paper
Choose the coating and color that match how you freeze and present your product. Each type prints with your branding on the matte side.
Poly-Coated (PE) Freezer Paper
Our poly-coated freezer paper carries a polyethylene layer for heavy-duty, long-term freezing — the strongest barrier against freezer burn for large cuts and bulk storage.
Waxed Freezer Paper
Our waxed freezer paper uses a food-safe wax barrier for wrap-and-freeze use, a practical choice for shorter-term storage and everyday meat and fish wrapping.
White vs Natural Kraft Freezer Paper
Choose white freezer paper for a clean, bright surface that shows logos and labels clearly, or natural kraft freezer paper for a rustic, traditional butcher-counter look.
Freezer Paper Rolls vs Sheets
Pick the format that fits your wrap station. Rolls let staff cut each wrap to length for varied cuts and high volume; sheets deliver fast, consistent wrapping at a fixed size. Many meat counters run both.
Freezer Paper Rolls
Our freezer paper rolls ship in standard 15", 18", and 24" widths and custom sizes, seating in bench dispensers for fast cut-to-length wrapping.
Freezer Paper Sheets
Our freezer paper sheets arrive pre-cut and interleaved for quick single-sheet pulls, ideal for portioned cuts and a tidy, repeatable wrap station.
What Weight Freezer Paper Do You Need?
Match the basis weight to the cut size and storage length. Lighter stock suits short-term wrapping; heavier stock protects large cuts in long-term storage. The tiers below cover the standard commercial weights.
| Basis Weight | Approx. GSM | Tier | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35# | ~57 gsm | Economy | Short-term wrapping, smaller cuts |
| 40# | ~65 gsm | Standard | Everyday meat, poultry, and fish |
| 45–47# | ~73–82 gsm | Heavy-duty | Large cuts, bulk, long-term storage |
Sizes and Roll Widths for Custom Freezer Paper
Stock rolls and sheets cover the common butcher and deli formats, and we cut any custom size to order. Need a size that is not listed? We cut to spec — just send your dimensions with your order.
| Format | Sizes | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Rolls | 15", 18", 24" × 1000' (and custom) | Cut-to-length, high volume |
| Sheets | 15×15, 18×18, 18×24, 24×24 in | Portioned cuts, fast wrapping |
| Custom Cut | 6×6 up to your spec | Product-specific sizing |
Who Uses Custom Freezer Paper?
Butchers and meat shops wrap and freeze cuts for retail and storage. Fishmongers and seafood counters protect delicate fish from freezer burn and odor transfer. Delis and cold-cut counters portion and label stock. Frozen-food and direct-to-consumer brands package products for shipping while branding every wrap. One stock serves all four with your logo printed on the matte side.
Custom Printing and Branding on Freezer Paper
We print the matte side of your freezer paper with food-safe soy and vegetable inks, in CMYK or exact PMS Pantone, by flexographic, offset, or digital press. Repeat your logo across the sheet or roll, add cut-and-date label fields, and turn everyday meat wrap into branded, professional packaging. Printed freezer paper carries your name from the counter to the customer's freezer at home.
Is Custom Freezer Paper Food-Safe?
Yes. Our freezer paper meets FDA 21 CFR 176.170 for direct food contact, and the polyethylene coating holds FDA approval for wrapping meat, poultry, and seafood. We print with food-safe inks on every order. One honest note on sustainability: because the PE coating bonds plastic to paper, poly-coated freezer paper is not widely curbside-recyclable — choose our waxed option when recyclability outranks maximum freezer-burn protection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Freezer Paper
What is freezer paper made of?
Freezer paper is a strong kraft base with a polyethylene (PE) coating on one side. The coated side forms a moisture-and-air barrier, and the matte side stays printable for labeling and branding.
Does freezer paper prevent freezer burn, and how?
Yes. The PE coating seals out the air and moisture that cause freezer burn, so wrapped meat, poultry, and fish keep their color, texture, and flavor for 6 to 12 months in the freezer.
Which side of freezer paper faces the meat?
The shiny, poly-coated side faces the food to lock in moisture, and the matte side faces out so you can label or brand it.
Is freezer paper the same as wax paper?
No. Freezer paper has a poly coating on one side and prevents freezer burn; wax paper is waxed on both sides, is non-stick, and does not protect against freezer burn.
What is the difference between freezer paper and butcher paper?
Freezer paper is poly-coated to seal out moisture for freezing, while butcher paper is breathable kraft built to wrap and display fresh meat at the counter rather than for long-term freezing.
Can you use freezer paper in the oven or microwave?
No. The PE coating melts at high heat, so freezer paper is for cold storage only. For oven and roasting use, choose custom parchment paper.
How long does freezer paper keep meat fresh?
Properly wrapped in freezer paper, most meat, poultry, and fish stay freezer-fresh for 6 to 12 months, depending on the cut and your freezer temperature.
What weight or GSM freezer paper is best for meat?
40# (about 65 gsm) handles everyday meat, poultry, and fish, while 45–47# (about 73–82 gsm) suits large cuts and long-term storage. 35# works for short-term wrapping of smaller cuts.
Is custom freezer paper food-safe and FDA-approved?
Yes. It meets FDA 21 CFR 176.170 for direct food contact, the PE coating is FDA-approved for meat, poultry, and seafood, and we print with food-safe inks.
Is freezer paper recyclable?
Poly-coated freezer paper is not widely curbside-recyclable because the PE bonds plastic to paper. Our waxed freezer paper is the more recyclable option where that matters more than maximum freezer-burn protection.
Can freezer paper be used for crafts or stencils?
It can — the matte side takes fabric stencils and transfers — but our custom freezer paper is manufactured and printed for food businesses wrapping meat and fish at wholesale volumes.
Do you offer rolls, sheets, and custom sizes, and what is the MOQ and turnaround?
Yes. We supply rolls, pre-cut sheets, and any custom size on a low minimum order quantity, with a free proof inside one business day and free US shipping in 6 to 8 business days.
