A customer walks out of your shop with a joint of beef, a pack of sausages, or a wedge of cheese. The thing in their hand is paper. If it’s plain, it ends up in the bin without a thought. If it carries your name, it keeps working on your behalf all the way home.
At Deli Paper, we make wrapping for butchers, delis, farm shops, and market traders across the UK. Plenty of owners tell us they’d love branded paper but assume it means vast orders and eye-watering prices. It doesn’t. Here’s what to know before you buy.
Plain paper wraps the meat, and that’s about all it does.

Complicated artwork isn’t necessary. At Deli Paper, we find that clean, simple designs get photographed more often and stick in people’s memories longer. Here’s what our customers like to print on their printed butcher paper:
Send us your artwork, or just a rough idea, and we’ll help you shape it. Email sales@delipaper.co.uk to get started.
For something you use every single day, almost always. Buying small packs again and again costs more and eats into your time.
Ordering butcher paper wholesale gives you:
With butchers paper printed in your own design, the extra cost at wholesale volume is often small. If branded wrapping brings back a few more regulars each week, it pays for itself.
