Custom Greaseproof Paper

Custom Greaseproof Paper Wholesale with Logo

Plain paper soaks through fried food in under 60 seconds. The grease hits the tray, the basket, or the customer's hand and your brand gets blamed for the mess. We manufacture custom printed greaseproof paper in sheets, rolls and pre-cut basket liner format, with your logo printed food safe using water-based inks, shipped wholesale across the United States from 500 sheets in 6 to 8 business days.


Does Your Current Greaseproof Paper Contain PFAS

It might. PFAS per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are synthetic chemical compounds that some greaseproof paper manufacturers use to create grease resistance. They work. They also accumulate in the body and in the environment indefinitely, which is why regulators started restricting them.
California banned PFAS in food packaging under AB 1200, effective January 2023. New York, Washington and Minnesota have enacted similar restrictions. If you supply to retailers, distributors or enterprise food chains in any of these states, your packaging supplier needs to provide two documents on request: a Declaration of Compliance stating no intentionally added PFAS, and a Total Organic Fluorine test report below 100 ppm.
Our PFAS-free greaseproof paper achieves Kit Level 6 to 8 grease resistance through supercalendering — a process that compresses paper fibers tightly to create a dense, low-porosity surface without any fluorinated compounds. Same performance. Zero regulatory risk.


Custom Greaseproof Paper Sheets, Rolls and Basket Liners

The same greaseproof material three formats for three different operations. Choose by how your kitchen or counter actually runs.

Custom Greaseproof Paper Sheets

Flat sheets cut to your specified size, delivered pre-cut and ready to use at any kitchen station or counter. Best for individual wrapping burgers, grilled chicken, fish portions, pastries - where each item gets its own sheet and the format stays consistent from order to order. Available in 6x6, 12x12, 14x14, 18x24 inch and custom sizes.

Custom Greaseproof Paper Rolls

Continuous roll for kitchens that wrap items of varying dimensions and cannot commit to one sheet size. Tear to the length you need. Best for fish portions, whole chicken pieces, large sandwiches and any item where the wrapping size changes from one order to the next. Roll widths available: 12, 15, 18 and 24 inch. Fits standard roll holders and dispenser mounts.

Custom Printed Basket Liners for Restaurants and Fast Food

Pre-cut to basket dimensions and ready to drop in before the food goes down. The liner sits between the basket and the food, catches the grease and carries your logo at the base of every order your team sends out. In a fast casual setting, it is the first thing in frame when a customer photographs their food - which is nearly every first visit. Available in standard basket sizes and custom dimensions.

What Kit Level of Custom Greaseproof Paper Do You Need for Your Food

Kit Level is the industry grease resistance scale for food paper. It runs from 1 to 12. Most food businesses do not know their Kit Level they just know their current paper either holds or it does not. Use this table to find the right specification before you order.

Food Type Correct Kit Level Paper to Order
Pastries, croissants, baked goods, light oily food Kit Level 3 to 5 Standard greaseproof
Burgers, sandwiches, wraps, moderate grease Kit Level 5 to 7 Standard greaseproof
Fried chicken, fish fillets, onion rings Kit Level 7 to 9 Heavy duty greaseproof
Basket liners for fries and heavily fried items Kit Level 8 to 10 PFAS-free heavy duty

Our standard custom greaseproof paper starts at Kit Level 5 and covers most restaurant and fast casual applications. Our PFAS-free option reaches Kit Level 8, which covers basket liners, fried chicken operations and any application where grease volume is high and hold time is long.

Is Custom Greaseproof Paper the Same as Parchment Paper

No, and substituting one for the other causes real problems in a kitchen.
Greaseproof paper gets its oil resistance from supercalendering. The paper pulp is passed through heavy rollers that compress the fibers tightly, reducing porosity and creating a smooth surface that grease cannot penetrate easily. It handles food temperatures up to around 220 degrees Fahrenheit. It is designed for wrapping, serving and lining. It is not non-stick.
Parchment paper has a silicone coating applied to the surface. That coating makes it non-stick and heat resistant up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. It is designed for baking and lining oven trays, lining cake tins, separating layers of pastry. If you put greaseproof paper in an oven at baking temperature, the paper degrades and sticks to food. If you use parchment paper to wrap a burger, you are paying for silicone coating you do not need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is custom greaseproof paper

Custom greaseproof paper is a food-grade paper that resists oil and grease penetration, manufactured for direct food contact and printed with a business logo or brand design. It is made by supercalendering - compressing paper fibers tightly to create a dense, low-porosity surface. It is used by restaurants, fast casual dining, food trucks and fast food operations to wrap, serve and line food that is oily, fried or sauced.

Is greaseproof paper the same as parchment paper

No. Greaseproof paper uses supercalendering to create grease resistance and handles food up to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Parchment paper has a silicone coating that makes it non-stick and oven safe up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Greaseproof is for wrapping and serving. Parchment is for baking. They are not interchangeable in either direction.

What is PFAS and does my greaseproof paper contain it?

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 Kit Level do I need for fried chicken

Fried chicken requires Kit Level 7 to 9. At Kit Level 5, grease from a fried chicken thigh begins penetrating the paper within three to five minutes of plating. At Kit Level 7 and above, the barrier holds through the full service window. For basket liners under fried chicken, go to Kit Level 8 to 10 where grease volume is highest and hold time is longest.

What is the minimum order for custom printed greaseproof paper?

The minimum order is 500 sheets. Wholesale pricing tiers start at 2,000 sheets. For basket liners, the minimum is 1,000 units due to the die-cutting process. We recommend requesting a free sample pack before placing a first production order — particularly for PFAS-free orders where you may need to run a kitchen test against your specific food types.
