Bulk Butcher Paper: Greaseproof Sheets by the Carton

Packery does not stock butcher paper rolls. If you are buying bulk butcher paper to wrap or line takeaway food, the closest thing we sell is pre-cut greaseproof paper sheets, ordered by the carton, from $0.01 each.

Key takeaways

• We don't sell butcher paper on a roll, in any width or colour.
• Our food paper range is greaseproof paper sheets, sold by the carton, with the carton price and price per item shown on each product page.
• To buy in bulk, work out your weekly sheet use from your own serve counts, then divide by the sheets in a carton.
• Cuts range from small 190x150mm half sheets (Carton of 400) to 410x220mm and 400x330mm sheets.
• No minimum order, all orders prepaid online.

Does Packery sell butcher paper rolls?

No. We don't stock butcher paper rolls, and we don't list a roll of any kind in the food paper range. What we do stock is greaseproof paper cut into sheets, packed in cartons of 200, 400, 1200 or 1600 depending on the product.

If your venue wraps meat for retail sale or needs paper on a roll for a cutter, a butcher paper roll is the right product and you'll need to buy it elsewhere. If you're using paper to line baskets, wrap burgers and rolls, or sit under hot chips and fried food, pre-cut sheets do the same job without a dispenser. For more on the plain white option, see our post on white butcher paper.

What is a paper roll, and how is a sheet different?

A paper roll is one continuous length of paper wound around a core, and staff tear or cut off what they need. A pre-cut sheet arrives already sized, so every serve gets the same piece of paper.

That difference matters when you buy in bulk. With a roll, usage per serve depends on who is cutting. With sheets, one serve uses a known number of sheets, which makes it much easier to work out how many cartons you need. Sheets also stack flat on a shelf or bench, with no cutter to clean or replace.

How do I work out my weekly sheet use?

Start with your own serve counts, not a guess. Your point-of-sale reports already show how many baskets, burgers, wraps or fish-and-chip packs you sell in a typical week.

Then work through it item by item:

1. List every menu item that gets paper. Basket liners, burger wraps, sandwich wraps and parcel wraps are usually separate lines.

2. Decide sheets per serve. Some items take one sheet, some take two (one to line, one to wrap). Write it down so every shift does it the same way.

3. Multiply serves by sheets per serve for each item, then add the lines together. That is your weekly sheet use.

4. Group by sheet size. If baskets use a half sheet and burgers use a large sheet, keep those totals separate, because they are different products.

5. Check it against reality. After a week or two of ordering, count what is left on the shelf and adjust your sheets-per-serve figure.

Busy weekends, events and seasonal menus change the count, so look at a few weeks of reports rather than one.

How do I turn weekly use into cartons?

Divide your weekly sheet use for each size by the number of sheets in that product's carton, then round up to whole cartons. Every product is sold by the carton, and the carton quantity is in the product name, so the maths uses the figure you can see.

Decide how many weeks of stock you want on hand. Ordering several weeks at once means fewer orders and fewer delivery charges; ordering weekly ties up less shelf space and cash. Delivery is a flat fee set by your postcode, and free once an order passes a set amount; checkout shows the exact cost, and today's rates are on the shipping page.

Here is what each carton holds and costs:

The gingham prints also come in black, green, blue and yellow in the Large and Half cuts, at the same carton quantities and prices as the red. You can see the full set in our food paper range.

Which one should I buy?

Match the sheet size to the job, then pick the look.

• High-volume takeaway, fish and chip shops and burger bars wrapping in plain paper: Greaseproof Paper – White Economy 1/4 Cut (Carton of 1600) at 205x330mm. It has the largest carton count of these sheets, at $0.01 each, which keeps restocking simple when your weekly count is high.
• Longer wraps such as rolls, wraps and parcels: Greaseproof Paper – White Economy 1/3 Cut (Carton of 1200), a 410x220mm sheet at $0.01 each.
• Basket and tray liners for cafés and pubs: Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Half (Carton of 400) at 190x150mm, $0.02 each. The newsprint print suits chips and share plates.
• Food trucks and casual venues wanting a coloured look: Greaseproof Paper – Red Gingham Half (Carton of 400) for small liners, or Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham (Carton of 200) at 190x300mm for a mid-size sheet at $0.01 each.
• Large wraps and full-tray coverage: Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Large (Carton of 200) at 400x330mm, $0.07 each.

If you run more than one size, order each one against its own weekly total rather than one size for everything. For a closer look at the cuts, see greaseproof paper sheets: sizes, cuts and price per sheet.

How do I order?

There is no minimum order, so you can start with one carton of each size you need and adjust once you have a few weeks of real usage. Delivery takes 3–5 business days to capital cities and 4–6 business days regional. All orders are prepaid online. Damaged or faulty items are replaced or refunded free; unopened stock cartons can be returned within 7 days of delivery (10% restocking fee, return delivery at your cost). Custom printing with your logo is available on selected products, but the greaseproof sheets listed above are not among them. When you know your carton counts, use quick order to add them in one go.
