Custom Greaseproof Paper in Australia: Patterns That Fit

Packery does not stock custom or logo-printed baking paper or greaseproof paper. What we do stock in Australia is pre-printed greaseproof sheets in newsprint and gingham patterns, plus plain economy white, sold by the carton, so you can match the paper to your food and venue style without a print run.

Key takeaways

• Packery has no custom-printed greaseproof or baking paper in its range; every sheet below is a stock pattern.
• Newsprint suits a classic fish-and-chip shop or burger bar look.
• Gingham in red, blue, green, yellow or black gives a diner, picnic or retro café feel.
• Economy white is the plain workhorse for back of house, prep and wrapping where nobody sees the sheet.
• For logo printing on other packaging, ask through custom print or contact us.

Does Packery sell custom greaseproof paper?

No. We don't print logos, names or custom designs onto greaseproof or baking paper, and none of the sheets in our food paper range are personalised. Custom printing with your logo is available on selected products, so if branded packaging is the goal, start an enquiry on the custom print page or through contact and we'll tell you what applies.

If what you really want is paper that looks like it belongs to your venue, a stock pattern often does the job. A pattern sets the tone of a basket or tray the moment it hits the table, and it is available off the shelf by the carton.

Which greaseproof pattern suits a chippie or burger shop?

Newsprint is the obvious choice for a fish-and-chip shop, burger bar or casual seafood counter. The printed-newspaper look nods to the traditional chippie wrap while still being a greaseproof sheet.

• Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Large (Carton of 200) is 400x330mm, sized for lining baskets and trays or wrapping a full serve. It is $14.90 per carton, $0.07 each.
• Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Half (Carton of 400) is 190x150mm, suited to wrapping a burger or sitting under a side. It is $8.90 per carton, $0.02 each.

Using the large sheet for baskets and the half sheet for handhelds keeps the same look across the whole menu.

Which gingham colour fits a diner, café or picnic menu?

Gingham reads as diner, picnic or retro café, and the colour you choose does most of the work. Red gingham is the classic American diner and hot dog stand look, blue and green feel fresher and suit picnic boxes, cafés and markets, yellow is bright and cheerful, and black gives a more modern, smart-casual finish.

Each colour comes in a large and a half sheet, and yellow and green also come in a 190x300mm sheet:

• Greaseproof Paper – Red Gingham Large (Carton of 200) at 400x330mm for baskets and trays.
• Greaseproof Paper – Red Gingham Half (Carton of 400) at 190x150mm for burgers, hot dogs and sides.
• Greaseproof Paper – Blue Gingham Large (Carton of 200) at 400x330mm for share platters and picnic boxes.
• Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham (Carton of 200) at 190x300mm, a mid-size sheet for wraps and sandwiches.

Black, green and the other yellow sizes sit alongside them in the same range, priced the same as the matching sheet size.

When is plain white the better choice?

Plain white is the better choice wherever presentation doesn't matter: lining prep trays, separating portions, wrapping for storage, or covering benches. It also comes in bigger cartons at a smaller price per item, so it makes sense to keep patterned sheets for front of house and white for everything behind the pass.

• Greaseproof Paper – White Economy 1/4 Cut (Carton of 1600) is 205x330mm, $17.60 per carton, $0.01 each.
• Greaseproof Paper – White Economy 1/3 Cut (Carton of 1200) is 410x220mm, $17.12 per carton, $0.01 each.
