What printed greaseproof paper designs can I buy?
You can choose between gingham and newsprint. Gingham is a classic checked pattern that suits burger bars, diners and casual cafés, while newsprint gives the look of a traditional newspaper wrap, which suits fish and chip shops and pub-style menus.
The gingham range comes in five colours:
- Yellow – in all three sizes, such as Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham (Carton of 200)
- Red – large and half sheets, such as Greaseproof Paper – Red Gingham Large (Carton of 200)
- Blue – large and half sheets
- Green – in all three sizes
- Black – in all three sizes, including Greaseproof Paper – Black Gingham Printed (Carton of 200)
Newsprint is available in all three sizes too. Every sheet in this range is listed as paper, so you are choosing on pattern, colour and size rather than material. If you are still deciding between greaseproof paper and other wraps, see our guide to greaseproof paper in Australia and the comparison of greaseproof paper vs baking paper.
What size printed greaseproof paper do I need?
Match the sheet to the job: half sheets for small items and liners, standard sheets for wrapping and lining a single serve, and large sheets for wrapping bigger meals or covering boards. The sizes are:
- Half – 190x150mm. Sized for lining small baskets, sitting under a pastry or a handful of chips, or separating items in a box.
- Standard – 190x300mm. A long sheet that can wrap a burger or line a basket or tray for a single serve.
- Large – 400x330mm. The widest sheet in the range, for wrapping a full fish and chips order, lining larger baskets, or covering a serving board.
If you are unsure, measure the base of your baskets and boards before ordering. A sheet that is a little larger than the base can fold up the sides; a sheet that is far too large creates waste and looks untidy.
How much does printed greaseproof paper cost?
Pricing follows the sheet size, not the design. Every half sheet costs the same whatever the colour, and the same applies to the standard and large sheets.

Which printed greaseproof paper suits burgers, fish and chips, baskets and boards?
For burgers, use a standard or large gingham sheet; for fish and chips, use large newsprint; for baskets, size the sheet to the basket; for boards, use large sheets. Here is the reasoning for each.
Burgers. A wrapped burger needs a sheet long enough to fold around the bun and tuck underneath. The standard 190x300mm sheet suits a single burger, while the large 400x330mm sheet gives more paper for bigger stacked burgers. Gingham is the usual look for burger bars.
Fish and chips. Newsprint is the traditional look for a fish and chips wrap. The large sheet gives the most coverage for a full order, while the half sheet works as a liner under a scoop of chips.
Baskets. Lining a basket keeps the basket cleaner and makes a plain basket look finished. Half sheets suit small baskets for sides; standard sheets suit single-serve meal baskets; large sheets suit share baskets.
Boards. For share platters, grazing boards and burger boards, a large printed sheet covers more of the surface and frames the food. A coloured gingham that matches your venue's colours adds a consistent look across the table.
Which one should I buy?
Pick by venue and menu:
- Burger bar or diner: Greaseproof Paper – Red Gingham Large (Carton of 200) for wrapping, plus the matching half sheet for side baskets.
- Fish and chip shop: Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Large (Carton of 200) for full orders and Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint (Carton of 200) for smaller serves.
- Café serving pastries, toasties or sides in baskets: Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham Half (Carton of 400) gives you the most sheets per carton.
- Food truck with a single-serve menu: Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham (Carton of 200) or Greaseproof Paper – Black Gingham Printed (Carton of 200) in the standard size.
- Pub or venue serving boards and share plates: the large gingham in your venue's colour, such as Greaseproof Paper – Blue Gingham Large (Carton of 200) or Greaseproof Paper – Green Gingham Large (Carton of 200).
A simple setup is to keep two sizes in the same design: a large sheet for wrapping and a half sheet for lining. That keeps the look consistent across the menu.
