White Butcher Paper: The Plain White Sheet We Stock

Packery does not stock white butcher paper. The plain white sheet we do stock is Economy White Greaseproof Paper, sold in two cuts: Greaseproof Paper – White Economy 1/4 Cut (Carton of 1600) and Greaseproof Paper – White Economy 1/3 Cut (Carton of 1200).

Key takeaways

• We don't sell butcher paper, white or otherwise. If you need true butcher paper, this page won't sell it to you.
• Our plain white option is Economy White Greaseproof Paper, in a 1/4 Cut and a 1/3 Cut.
• The 1/4 Cut is 205x330mm, comes 1600 to a carton (see the product page for the current price).
• The 1/3 Cut is 410x220mm, comes 1200 to a carton (see the product page for the current price).
• Measure the food you actually wrap or the basket you line, then pick the cut that covers it.

Does Packery sell white butcher paper?

No. Butcher paper isn't in our range, so we won't point you to a product page that suggests otherwise. If your kitchen searched for butcher paper because it wants a plain, unprinted white sheet for wrapping or lining, Economy White Greaseproof Paper is the closest thing we carry.

It's worth being clear about the difference. Butcher paper and greaseproof paper are different products made for different jobs. Before you swap one for the other, check the white greaseproof sheet against your own menu: wrap a real item, leave it for as long as it normally sits before it's eaten, and see if it holds up the way you need. If your use is wrapping raw meat or a long smoke on the barbecue, that test matters even more, and you may need to source butcher paper elsewhere.

What plain white paper does Packery stock instead?

We stock one plain white sheet: Economy White Greaseproof Paper, in two cuts. Both are white paper, both are unprinted, and both are sold by the carton at the same carton price.

The two white cuts are the only plain white sheets in the set. The gingham and newsprint sheets are printed patterns, listed here so you can compare if a printed look suits your venue.

Which white cut should I choose, 1/4 or 1/3?

Choose by the shape of what you wrap or line, not by the name of the cut. The 1/4 Cut is 205x330mm and the 1/3 Cut is 410x220mm, so they are different shapes, not just a smaller and a larger version of the same sheet.

A practical way to decide:

1. Take the item you serve most often: a pastry, a toasted sandwich, a wrap, a burger, a portion of chips.

2. Measure it, or measure the basket, tray or box you line.

3. Check which sheet covers it with enough paper left over to fold or tuck the way your staff already do it.

4. Order the cut that fits your main item, and only add the second cut if a different menu item clearly needs it.

As a rough guide, the 1/4 Cut suits smaller items and narrower jobs, such as single pastries, slices, cookies or a sheet under a small snack. The 1/3 Cut is the wider sheet, so it's the one to test first for larger wraps, longer rolls and lining bigger baskets or trays. Don't rely on our guide alone. Your own measurements are what matter.

How much does each white cut cost?

Both white cuts (see the product page for the current price). The 1/4 Cut comes 1600 to a carton, which works out at $0.01 each, and the 1/3 Cut comes 1200 to a carton, at $0.02 each.

Because the carton price is the same, the choice comes down to fit. Each product page shows the carton price and price per item, so you can compare before ordering.

When would a printed greaseproof sheet suit better?

If you don't need plain white, a printed sheet can give baskets and boards a more styled look. The newsprint and gingham sheets are the same paper material in printed patterns, in a few sizes.

• Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham Half (Carton of 400) is 190x150mm, $12.80 per carton, $0.03 each.
• Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham (Carton of 200) is 190x300mm, $5.85 per carton, $0.03 each.
• Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Large (Carton of 200) is 400x330mm, $14.90 per carton, $0.07 each.
• Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Half (Carton of 400) is 190x150mm, $8.90 per carton, $0.02 each.

Which one should I buy?

Match the sheet to the venue and the item:

• Cafés and bakeries wrapping pastries, slices and small snacks: start with Greaseproof Paper – White Economy 1/4 Cut (Carton of 1600). It's the plain white sheet at $0.01 each.
• Takeaway shops and food trucks wrapping larger wraps, rolls or burgers, or lining wider baskets: test Greaseproof Paper – White Economy 1/3 Cut (Carton of 1200), the wider white sheet at $0.01 each.
• Venues that serve both small and large items: measure your two best sellers and stock both white cuts, since they're the same carton price.
• Burger bars and fish and chip shops that want a printed look: Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Large (Carton of 200) for bigger baskets, or Greaseproof Paper – Newsprint Half (Carton of 400) for smaller ones.
• Dessert counters and casual diners after a retro look: Greaseproof Paper – Yellow Gingham Half (Carton of 400) for small items.

If your logo needs to be on the sheet, custom printing is available on selected products; see custom print.
