Custom Food Wrapping Paper for UK Restaurants

If your wraps are leaking oil before the food even reaches the customer, the paper is the problem, not the recipe. Switching to proper food wrapping paper solves this almost overnight.

Most UK kitchens don’t think twice about wrapping paper until something goes wrong. A burst wrap, a greasy stain on a delivery bag, a customer complaint that shouldn’t have happened. It’s usually the paper, not the food, that’s letting the business down.

Why Cheap Wrapping Paper Keeps Ruining Deliveries

Here’s the thing nobody tells you when you’re buying paper on price alone: thin stock can’t cope with hot, oily food. It soaks through in minutes, sometimes faster.

That’s not a small inconvenience either. Once grease gets through, it’s already too late; the food’s cooling unevenly, the bag’s a mess, and the presentation is gone before the customer even opens it.

A lot of businesses are still using paper that was never built for Restaurant Packaging in the first place.

And it’s not only about the food. Bad Takeaway Packaging quietly damages repeat orders too. Nobody reorders from a place that sends food out in a soggy, stained wrap even if the food itself was great.

Why Does Food-Grade Paper Actually Matter?

Not every sheet of paper is built for food. Ours is.

Our wrapping paper is made to sit directly against hot, cold, greasy, or moist food without breaking down. We also keep things simple on the sustainability side. 

What Good Wrapping Paper Actually Looks Like: Specs That Matter

Proper grease-resistant paper is built differently from the inside out; it’s about fibre density and coating, not just thickness. At Deli Paper, we supply premium quality wrapping sheets.

• GSM weight: 30–45 GSM works for lighter wraps; go 40–50 GSM for burgers, fried food, anything heavier
• Sheet sizes: Anywhere from small 8x8 inch squares to large 20x30 inch rolls for bigger cuts
• Heat tolerance: Should hold up straight off the grill without going limp
• Grease barrier time:  A decent sheet blocks oil for 30 to 60 minutes minimum
• Format: Pre-cut sheets for speed at the counter
• Finish: Smooth or machine-glazed, depending on how sharp you want printed logos to look. This is proper Food Safe Paper, tested for direct contact with hot food, so it holds up whether you’re wrapping burgers, fish and chips, kebabs, or bakery items.

What Types of Paper Do We Supply?

We keep the range focused, because most businesses only need a handful of core options done properly.

• Food wrapping paper sheets in Kraft or White, cut to the size you need
• Grease-resistant paper built for burgers, fries, and anything oily
• Burger wrapping paper and sandwich wrapping paper, sized for a proper grip.
• Bakery wrapping paper for fresh bread, pastries, and cakes.
• Takeaway food wrapping that holds up on the journey, not just at the counter
• Disposable food paper for quick-turnover counters and food trucks

Whatever you’re wrapping, there’s a sheet in our range built for it, not just a generic one stretched across every use case.

Staying Compliant: PFAS-Free Paper for UK Kitchens

UK food safety rules are only getting stricter going into 2026, and packaging materials are getting more attention than ever. Our stock is 100% PFAS-free, with no “forever chemicals” hiding in the grease-resistant coating.

Two reasons that matter. It’s safer for direct food contact, full stop. And it keeps you ahead of the curve as chemical coatings in food packaging face tighter scrutiny across the UK.

Everything in our Eco Friendly Food Packaging range comes from FSC-certified Kraft stock, sourced from forests that are actually managed responsibly, not just labelled that way for marketing.

There’s a financial upside too. FSC-certified, PFAS-free paper tends to sit outside the UK Plastic Packaging Tax bracket, unlike plastic-laminated alternatives. For businesses navigating EPR obligations, that’s one less headache to deal with.

Your Wrapping Paper Is Basically Free Advertising

A branded wrap stays in the customer’s hands while they eat, while they’re out and about, while they’re photographing their food for Instagram.

That’s the real value of Printed Food Wrap. Your logo isn’t just sitting on packaging; it’s on display everywhere your food goes, without you paying for a single ad.

Custom Printed Paper takes this further than just slapping a logo on. Some ideas worth considering:

• Your social handle printed clearly, so tagging is effortless
• A QR code linking straight to your online ordering page
• Limited colour runs for seasonal menus or special launches

All of it prints using food-safe vegetable inks, so the branding looks good without cutting corners on safety. Colours, fonts, layout: all customisable to match whatever you’ve already got going for your brand.

If you’re running more than one location, consistent Custom Printed Paper across every site does something subtle but powerful: customers start recognising your food before they even see your shopfront.
