Food-Safe Grease Proof Paper for Restaurants, Bakeries & Fast Food
Grease proof paper is an essential packaging material for food service businesses.

Production Process
Grease proof paper is made by refining pulp fibers to a very high degree, creating a dense, interlocked sheet structure. During forming and pressing, the fibers are compacted to reduce pore size, which naturally blocks oil and grease. The paper is then dried and calendered to achieve a smooth surface. Because the resistance comes from fiber density rather than plastic coating, the product remains compostable and safe for direct food contact.
- High-degree refining for dense fiber structure
- Forming and wet pressing to close pores
- Drying and calendering for smooth finish
- Food-safe flexographic printing (optional)
- Cutting, stacking, and quality inspection
Sustainability & Food Safety
Because our grease proof paper relies on a dense fiber structure rather than plastic lamination, it is both food-safe and environmentally friendly. It can be disposed of through industrial composting channels, helping food brands reduce single-use plastic waste while meeting hygiene standards.
Food Contact Testing & Packaging Standards
Our grease proof paper is manufactured under food-grade conditions with controlled moisture, temperature, and hygiene protocols. We monitor grease resistance, dry strength, and food-contact compliance throughout the production run. Finished products are packed in food-safe wrapping and labeled with batch codes for full traceability. Certificates of conformity and third-party test reports are available on request.
Ordering & Customization Process
Start by confirming the food-contact regulations in your target market. Share your required GSM, sheet or roll dimensions, and any custom print design. We provide food-grade samples and a printed proof for evaluation. Once approved, we schedule production, perform inline quality checks, and pack the order in food-safe packaging with full traceability labeling.
Popular Applications
- Burger, sandwich, and wrap packaging
- Bakery trays and pastry boxes
- Deli counters and food trucks
- Fast-food takeaway wrapping
- Branded restaurant packaging
- Food basket and serving liners
Burger & Sandwich Wrapping
Grease proof paper is the standard liner for burgers, sandwiches, and wraps because it blocks oil and condiments without going translucent or falling apart. For high-heat items fresh off the grill, our silicone and PE coated greaseproof variants add a non-stick release layer that keeps the paper from tearing when the bun is lifted.
Most quick-service and ghost-kitchen operators use pre-cut sheets sized to the burger or a continuous roll cut at the line. Both formats are compatible with custom print, so the wrap carries the brand from counter to customer.
- Pre-cut sheets (e.g. 30 × 30 cm) or rolls cut to length at the station
- Single-side or double-side coating for high-fat items
- Custom print for branded burger wraps and combo packaging
Deli Counters & Food Truck Service
At deli counters and food trucks, grease proof paper doubles as a serving liner and a takeaway wrap. It resists sandwich spreads, oil from fried fillings, and light moisture, so the paper stays intact while the food is handled.
Because service is fast and hands-on, operators value paper that folds cleanly around the item and holds with a simple fold or sticker — no extra clamshell required for many menu items.
- Sandwich and wrap liners that hold shape during handling
- Tray and basket liners for fried and grilled items
- Compostable, uncoated option for lighter deli fare
Bakery & Pastry Packaging
Bakeries use grease proof paper for pastry boxes, cookie trays, and individual bakery wraps where butter, chocolate, and glazes would otherwise bleed through. A light grease-resistant layer keeps the box presentable and prevents the wrapper from sticking to the product.
For artisan bakeries, printed grease proof paper turns a simple liner into part of the unboxing — a low-cost branding touch that travels with every order.
- Pastry box and cookie tray liners
- Individual bakery wraps for croissants, cookies, and brownies
- Printed liner options for branded bakery presentation
EU PPWR and Greaseproof Paper Sourcing
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), phasing in from 2025-2027, rewards recyclable, single-material packaging and puts difficult-to-sort composites under pressure. For greaseproof paper, that makes the coating choice the central decision.
Plain (uncoated) greaseproof is a single-material substrate and the simplest to recycle - our default recommendation where performance allows. Silicone-coated and PE-coated variants extend barrier performance but change the end-of-life profile: silicone-coated sheets are single-material paper with a thin release layer, while PE-coated sheets behave more like a paper-plastic composite. Which is accepted in a given market's paper stream depends on local recycling infrastructure.
We supply all three and provide a material-composition report for each so buyers can confirm recyclability under their destination market's PPWR rules. Review the compliance documentation we provide before specifying a coated grade into an EU-bound program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about food-safe grease proof paper wholesale.
Is grease proof paper the same as wax paper?
No. Grease proof paper is made from dense, refined pulp that naturally resists oil. Wax paper has a paraffin coating, which is not suitable for all direct food-contact applications and is not compostable.
Can grease proof paper be used in ovens?
Standard grease proof paper is not designed for high-heat oven use. For baking applications, we recommend specifying oven-safe baking paper or parchment paper.
Can I print my restaurant logo on grease proof paper?
Yes. We offer food-safe flexographic printing for custom logos and patterns. Printed grease proof paper is a popular branding tool for restaurants, bakeries, and fast-food chains.
Is your grease proof paper compostable?
Yes. Because we do not use PE plastic coating, our grease proof paper is compostable through industrial composting facilities. Home composting suitability depends on local conditions.
What sizes are available?
We supply grease proof paper in rolls, sheets, and pre-cut wrappers. Common sheet sizes are available, and custom dimensions can be produced to match your packaging equipment.
Is printed greaseproof paper still compostable?
Yes. We use water-based, food-safe inks for printing, which do not affect the compostability of the base paper. Printed greaseproof paper can still be processed through industrial composting facilities.
What food safety certifications does your greaseproof paper meet?
Our grease proof paper is manufactured under ISO 9000 quality controls and meets food-grade standards. We can provide certificates of conformity and third-party test reports on request. FSC-certified options are also available for environmentally conscious food brands.
Can greaseproof paper be used for hot food wrapping?
Yes. Our grease proof paper is suitable for hot food applications such as burgers, sandwiches, and fried items. The dense fiber structure resists oil penetration even at elevated serving temperatures. For baking applications above 180°C, we recommend specifying heat-resistant baking paper grades.
Custom Printing & Branding Options
Every grease proof paper in this range can be custom printed with your logo, pattern, or seasonal artwork using food-safe, low-migration inks suitable for indirect food contact.
