Custom Food Wrapping Paper
Wrapping paper is the cheapest branded item in any food operation, and it touches more orders than anything else you buy. Every burger, every sandwich, every basket liner. It costs a fraction of a carton and it appears in every photograph a customer takes of their meal. We produce a lot of food wrapping paper at ZEE Packaging and the value per penny spent here is hard to beat.
Cheapest Branding You Can Buy
Food wrapping paper does a lot for very little.
- Costs a fraction of a printed carton per use
- Touches almost every order that leaves the kitchen
- Appears in every food photograph customers post
- Doubles as a basket liner, a wrap and a tray liner
- No assembly at all, staff just grab a sheet
- Storage is minimal, since sheets stack flat
Most operators underestimate how much reach a printed sheet gives them compared with anything else in the cupboard.
Grease Resistance Is The Whole Spec
The paper has to survive contact with hot food.
- Greaseproof treatment rather than a wax coating
- Untreated paper goes translucent and tears immediately
- Wet strength matters for anything with sauce
- Ink must be food safe, since it sits against the product
- Hot food needs paper that does not soften under heat
- Baking parchment grades where the paper goes in an oven
- Pre cut sheets the standard format for most food wrapping paper
- Basket liners sized to your fry baskets and trays
- Deli wrap for sandwiches and counter service
- Burger wrap larger sheets sized for a full build
- Rolls for high volume operations that cut their own
- Bag liners printed sheets that line a paper bag
Sizes We Print Regular
Every sheet is built to your use, though these run often:
- 12" x 12" for burgers and standard wraps
- 10" x 10" for smaller items and sides
- 15" x 15" for large builds and sharing items
- 12" x 16" for basket and tray liners
- 14" x 14" for deli and sandwich wrapping
- Custom sizes cut to your basket or tray exactly
Measure your basket internally, since a liner that is slightly too large curls up at the edges.
Paper And Food Safety
- Food grade certified paper, always, without exception
- Greaseproof treatment as standard for hot food
- Unbleached natural brown for a street food look
- White for vivid printed branding
- 30gsm to 45gsm depending on the application
- Food safe ink, since it makes direct contact
Natural brown greaseproof is the most requested finish we run. It suits street food, it photographs well and it does not show marks the way white does.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will grease soak through?
Not on a greaseproof grade. Untreated paper goes translucent within seconds under a hot burger, which looks poor and tears easily.
Is the ink food safe?
Always. It sits in direct contact with the product, so we only run food safe inks on anything used for wrapping.
Can it go in an oven?
Only on a baking parchment grade. Standard greaseproof is not oven rated, so tell us if you need that.
Sheets or rolls?
Sheets for most operations, since staff grab and go. Rolls suit very high volume sites that prefer to cut their own.
What does food wrapping paper cost?
Rough estimate is $0.01 to $0.04 per sheet plain, $0.02 to $0.07 with one colour print and $0.04 to $0.12 for full colour at moderate quantity. Volume moves it substantially. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Can you match our brand colours?
Yes, we proof on the actual paper. Natural brown mutes colour noticeably compared with a white sheet.
Can it be compostable?
With a greaseproof treatment and no plastic coating, yes. That keeps it out of general waste.
