Custom Greaseproof Paper: Stock Pattern or Logo Print?

If you are weighing up custom greaseproof paper, start by checking whether a stock gingham or newsprint sheet already suits your brand, how many sheets you actually go through, and which sheet size you use. If a stock sheet fits on all three, you can order it today by the carton; if it does not, ask us about a custom option through custom print or contact before you commit.

Key takeaways

• Packery's greaseproof range comes in stock patterns: yellow, red, blue, green and black gingham, newsprint, and plain white economy sheets.
• None of the greaseproof sheets listed here is marked as a custom-print product, so treat custom greaseproof as a question to ask, not a given.
• Count your own sheet use per carton before asking about custom work. That number decides whether a custom run is worth raising.
• Lock in your sheet size first: 190x150mm, 190x300mm, 400x330mm, 205x330mm or 410x220mm.
• Stock sheets ship with no minimum order and are prepaid online.

Does a stock pattern already fit my brand?

Often it does. A gingham or newsprint sheet in one of your brand colours can carry the look of a basket or board without any artwork at all.

Work through it like this:

• Brand colour match. Gingham comes in yellow, red, blue, green and black. If your signage, menu or uniforms use one of those, a matching gingham sheet ties the plate back to the shopfront. A burger bar with red branding might line baskets with Greaseproof Paper – Red Gingham Large (Carton of 200); a venue with a dark, minimal look might use Greaseproof Paper – Black Gingham Large (Carton of 200).
• Style match. Newsprint suits fish and chips, sandwich bars and anything with a retro or street-food feel. Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Large (Carton of 200) and Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Half (Carton of 400) cover the large and half sizes.
• No pattern at all. If the food is the star and the sheet should disappear, the white economy sheets are the plain option.

If you look at a stock sheet beside your packaging and it reads as "yours", the custom question may already be answered.

When is custom greaseproof paper worth asking about?

Ask about custom when no stock colour or pattern works with your brand and the sheet is something customers see on every order. Your name or logo on the paper is a branding decision, so it only makes sense where the paper is visible, such as basket liners, wraps and boards.

Before you send an enquiry, have these answers ready:

1. Your own usage. Count how many cartons of greaseproof you go through and over what period. Use your own order history or a stock count, not a guess.

2. Your sheet size. Note the exact size you use now, or the size of the basket or board it lines.

3. Where the sheet is seen. Dine-in baskets, takeaway wraps or a counter display each change how much a print would matter.

4. Your artwork. Have your logo file ready so the conversation can move quickly.

Custom printing with your logo is available on selected products, and the custom print page is where to start. Greaseproof sheets in this range are not listed as custom-print items, so use the custom print page or contact to ask whether a custom greaseproof option is possible for your size before you plan around it. We won't promise a printed sheet we can't confirm.

Which sheet size should I base the decision on?

Base it on the size you already use and are happy with. Changing size and branding at the same time makes it harder to judge whether the change worked.

A quick guide to the sizes:

• 190x150mm (Half) suits small baskets, pastries, cookies and lining under a single item.
• 190x300mm works for wrapping a sandwich or toastie or lining a standard basket.
• 400x330mm (Large) covers boards, trays and larger baskets, or wraps bigger portions.
• 205x330mm and 410x220mm are the white economy cuts for wrapping and lining where pattern doesn't matter.

Is greaseproof the right paper for the job?

Check this before you think about branding. Greaseproof paper is made to hold back grease and oil from fried and buttery food, which is why it is used for baskets and wraps. If you are lining trays for the oven, baking paper is a different product; baking paper vs greaseproof explains which sheet suits which job.

Which one should I buy?

Match the sheet to the venue and how the food is served:

• Burger bars and fried chicken shops: Greaseproof Paper – Red Gingham Large (Carton of 200) for lining larger baskets in a bold colour.
• Cafés with a fresh, green palette: Greaseproof Paper – Green Gingham Half (Carton of 400) under pastries and slices.
• Coastal kiosks and seafood takeaway: Greaseproof Paper – Blue Gingham Large (Carton of 200) for baskets and boards.
• Fish and chips or retro diners: Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Large (Carton of 200) for wrapping and lining.
• Bakeries and sandwich bars using a lot of sheets: Greaseproof Paper – White Economy 1/4 Cut (Carton of 1600), where the paper is functional rather than on show.
• Venues with yellow branding: Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham (Carton of 200) for wraps and standard baskets.

If none of those fits your brand after you have checked colour, usage and size, that is the point to ask about custom options through custom print. You can browse the full food paper range to compare every pattern side by side.
