Custom Sandwich Paper — Greaseproof Sandwich & Burger Wrap, Printed With Your Logo
Custom sandwich paper gives delis, sandwich shops, food trucks, and cafes a grease-resistant wrap that holds a sandwich, sub, or burger cleanly and carries your branding on every order. Custom Printed Papers manufactures it greaseproof or waxed, in white and kraft, as sheets and rolls, 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 sandwich paper is a lightweight, grease-resistant food paper used to wrap sandwiches, subs, and burgers — printed with your branding, available greaseproof or waxed, in sheets and rolls.
It runs 25 to 45 gsm, meets FDA 21 CFR 176.170 for food contact, blocks grease and moisture so bread stays fresh, reheats safely in the microwave in greaseproof form, and prints with 100% food-safe inks.
Order sandwich paper as pre-cut sheets or dispenser rolls, in white or natural kraft, greaseproof or waxed. Select your type, format, and size below, upload your artwork, and receive a free digital proof within one business day.
What Paper Is Used to Wrap Sandwiches?
Delis and sandwich shops wrap sandwiches in grease-resistant greaseproof or waxed sandwich paper. It beats foil and cling film for service because it folds and holds without tearing, breathes enough to keep bread from going soggy, and gives a flat printable surface for your logo. Foil traps heat but cannot carry branding cleanly, and cling film offers no presentation — sandwich paper does both jobs at once.
How to Wrap a Sandwich in Paper (Step-by-Step)
The classic deli fold needs no tape and keeps a sandwich tight and presentable:
1. Cut a sheet about two to three times the size of the sandwich. 2. Place the sandwich in the center, seam-side down. 3. Bring the two opposite edges together above the sandwich and fold them down in small creases until snug. 4. Press the paper flat against each side, then tuck the two ends underneath the sandwich. 5. Cut through the paper to serve in halves, with the printed side facing out.
For a sub, wrap, or long sandwich, place it diagonally near one corner, fold that corner over, and roll toward the opposite corner while tucking the sides in. For juicy or saucy fillings, double-wrap with grease-resistant paper to contain leaks.
Sandwich Paper vs Deli, Greaseproof, Parchment & Foil
These wraps look alike but perform differently. Sandwich paper is the greaseproof-or-waxed wrap built for the sandwich-service job; the others suit different uses. Use the table to pick the right paper, and route specialized work to the matching product.
| Paper Type | Coating | Best Use | Oven / Microwave | Brandable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Custom Sandwich Paper | Greaseproof or wax | Sandwiches, subs, burgers, wraps | Microwave yes, oven no | Yes |
| Deli Paper | Greaseproof, breathable | Deli meats, cheese, liners | Microwave yes, oven no | Yes |
| Greaseproof Paper | Supercalendered | Hot, high-grease foods | Microwave yes, oven no | Yes |
| Parchment Paper | Silicone | Oven baking, roasting | Oven yes (450°F) | Limited |
| Foil Wrap | Aluminum laminate | Hot dogs, heat retention | Neither | Limited |
Types of Custom Sandwich Paper
Choose the coating and color that match your menu and brand. Each type prints with your logo and food-safe inks.
Greaseproof Sandwich Paper
Our greaseproof sandwich paper resists grease and moisture without a coating, which keeps it recyclable and microwave-safe — the standard for everyday sandwich and burger wrapping.
Waxed Sandwich Paper
Our waxed sandwich paper adds a dry-wax barrier for a non-stick surface and stronger moisture resistance, ideal for saucier fillings and a smoother fold.
White vs Kraft Sandwich Paper
Choose white sandwich paper for a clean surface that prints vivid full-color logos, or kraft sandwich paper for a rustic, artisan look with bold-logo contrast.
Single-Open vs Double-Open Sandwich Wrap
The cut style changes what the wrap handles best. A single-open wrap is the traditional full sheet for wrapping sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, and brats. A double-open wrap is pre-folded for flat items like pastries, pretzels, and cookies, and it doubles as a cone basket liner. Tell us your most-wrapped item and we recommend the style.
Sandwich Wrap Sizes by Food Item
Match the sheet to the item, leaving room to fold and tuck. Stock sizes cover the common formats, and we cut any custom size to order.
| Food Item | Recommended Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Slider / small burger | 10 × 10 in | Minimal overwrap |
| Burger / deli sandwich | 12 × 12 in | Most common; full wrap and fold |
| Hot dog / brat | 10.5 × 14 in | Length with room to fold |
| Sub / large sandwich | 14 × 16 or 15 × 15 in | Diagonal wrap for length |
| Catering / multiple | 18 × 24 to 36 × 36 in | Trays and oversized wraps |
Sandwich Paper Sheets vs Rolls
Pick the format that fits your service. Sheets give fast, consistent wrapping at a fixed size; rolls let staff cut each wrap to length from a dispenser. Many counters run both.
Sandwich Paper Sheets
Our sandwich paper sheets arrive pre-cut and interleaved for quick single-sheet pulls at the wrap station — the fastest option for a busy sandwich line.
Sandwich Paper Rolls
Our sandwich paper rolls feed standard dispensers for cut-to-length wrapping, suiting varied item sizes and high volume.
What GSM Is Best for Sandwich Wrap?
Match the weight to the filling. Lighter stock wraps single sandwiches and presents clean; heavier stock holds juicy, saucy fillings without bleed-through. The tiers below cover the sandwich-wrap range.
| GSM | Tier | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| 25–30 gsm | Light | Single sandwiches, interleaving, presentation |
| 30–40 gsm | Standard | Burgers, subs, everyday wrapping |
| 40–45 gsm | Heavy | Juicy and saucy fillings, sturdier hold |
Who Uses Custom Sandwich Paper?
Delis and sandwich shops wrap subs and sandwiches to a branded, repeatable standard. Food trucks wrap fast for service windows and travel. Cafes and quick-service kitchens package grab-and-go items and line baskets. Catering companies and ghost kitchens wrap at volume for trays and delivery. One stock serves all four with your logo printed on the wrap.
Custom Printing and Branding on Sandwich Paper
We print sandwich 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 so the printed side faces out on every finished wrap. Branded sandwich paper turns each order into a marketing touchpoint that customers see, hold, and photograph — the cheapest brand impression in your kitchen.
Is Custom Sandwich Paper Food-Safe and Microwave-Safe?
Yes. Our sandwich paper meets FDA 21 CFR 176.170 for direct food contact and prints with food-safe inks. Greaseproof sandwich paper is microwave-safe for quick reheating. Neither greaseproof nor waxed sandwich paper is oven-safe — for baking, use custom parchment paper. Uncoated greaseproof stock is also recyclable, which supports an eco-friendly packaging story.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Sandwich Paper
What paper is used to wrap sandwiches?
Delis use grease-resistant greaseproof or waxed sandwich paper. It folds and holds without tearing, keeps bread from going soggy, and gives a printable surface for branding.
Is sandwich paper the same as deli paper?
They overlap. Deli paper is the broader counter wrap for meats, cheese, and sandwiches, while sandwich paper is the same grease-resistant stock chosen specifically for wrapping sandwiches, subs, and burgers.
Is sandwich paper greaseproof?
Yes. Sandwich paper is greaseproof or waxed, so it resists grease and moisture and keeps the bread and the customer's hands clean.
How do you wrap a sandwich so it doesn't get soggy?
Use grease-resistant sandwich paper, wrap snugly with the fold-and-tuck method, and double-wrap juicy fillings. The breathable paper holds moisture away from the bread better than foil or cling film.
What is the difference between single-open and double-open wrap?
Single-open is the traditional full sheet for sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs. Double-open is pre-folded for flat items like pastries and pretzels and works as a cone basket liner.
What size sandwich paper do I need for a burger or sub?
A 12 × 12 in sheet suits most burgers and deli sandwiches, while subs and large sandwiches use 14 × 16 or 15 × 15 in. Hot dogs use about 10.5 × 14 in.
What GSM is best for sandwich wrap?
30–40 gsm handles everyday burgers and subs, 25–30 gsm suits single sandwiches and presentation, and 40–45 gsm holds juicy, saucy fillings.
Is sandwich paper microwave-safe or oven-safe?
Greaseproof sandwich paper is microwave-safe for quick reheating, but sandwich paper is not oven-safe. For baking, use parchment paper.
Is custom sandwich paper food-safe and FDA-approved?
Yes. It meets FDA 21 CFR 176.170 for direct food contact and prints with food-safe soy and vegetable inks.
Is sandwich wrap paper recyclable or compostable?
Uncoated greaseproof sandwich paper is recyclable, and many options are compostable. Wax coatings can affect recyclability, so choose greaseproof when sustainability is the priority.
Greaseproof vs waxed sandwich paper — which should I choose?
Choose greaseproof for everyday wrapping, recyclability, and microwave use. Choose waxed for a non-stick surface and stronger moisture resistance with saucier fillings.
Do you offer sheets, rolls, and custom sizes, and what is the MOQ and turnaround?
Yes. We supply sheets, dispenser rolls, 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.
