Custom Parchment Paper
Baking is where most paper gives up. Direct oven heat, sugar that caramelises onto anything it touches, and trays that need scrubbing afterward. Parchment paper handles all of it, and it is the one grade in this category that is genuinely oven rated. We supply a lot of parchment paper at ZEE Packaging and bakeries are where the volume sits.
Built For Oven Heat
Parchment paper is treated rather than coated.
- Pulp goes through an acid bath and is neutralised
- That closes the parchment paper structure permanently
- Silicone is then applied for the non stick surface
- It withstands typical baking temperatures without scorching
- Parchment paper releases cleanly even from caramelised sugar
- Trays need a wipe rather than a scrub afterward
Most bakeries using parchment paper do so because scrubbing trays was eating their labor hours.
Know The Temperature Limit
Every grade has a ceiling and it matters.
- Most parchment paper is rated to around 420F
- Above that it browns and eventually scorches
- Broiler and grill use is outside the rating
- Unbleached grades behave the same as bleached ones
- Reusing a sheet several times is normally fine
- Tell us your oven temperature and we confirm the grade
- Pre cut sheets the standard parchment paper we supply
- Tray liners cut to your baking trays exactly
- Parchment paper discs cut to your cake tins
- Roll format for kitchens cutting their own lengths
- Printed parchment paper a logo repeat for serving
- Bulk case packs for high volume bakeries
Sizes We Run Regular
Every sheet of parchment paper is cut to your use, though these run often:
- 16" x 24" for a full baking tray
- 12" x 16" for a half tray
- 8" diameter circles for cake tins
- 9" diameter for larger tins
- 12" x 12" for general use
- Custom shapes cut to your trays
Paper And Treatment
- Food grade certified stock, without exception
- Silicone coated both sides for non stick release
- Unbleached natural brown or bleached white stock
- 35gsm to 45gsm depending on the application
- Oven rated, unlike greaseproof or butter paper
- Food safe ink where printing is involved
Worth clearing up a common mix up. Greaseproof resists oil but is not heat rated, whereas parchment paper handles the oven. They are not interchangeable.
Where It Ends Up
- Compostable in commercial systems, since silicone is inert
- Recyclable is harder, so we would not claim it
- Unbleached grades skip a chlorine whitening stage
- FSC certified base paper, certificate on request
- Reusable across several bakes, which cuts consumption
- Right sized sheets so less parchment paper is binned

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature is it rated to?
Around 420F on most grades. Above that it browns, so tell us your oven and we confirm the right stock.
How much is parchment paper?
Rough estimate is $0.02 to $0.06 per sheet plain, $0.04 to $0.10 printed and $0.03 to $0.08 for cut circles at moderate quantity. Shipping is included. This is estimate only, so ask us for a exact quote.
Is parchment paper the same as greaseproof?
No. Greaseproof resists oil at room temperature, whereas parchment paper is treated to take oven heat.
Can we reuse a parchment paper sheet?
Usually several times, depending what was baked on it. Sugar heavy bakes shorten that.
Bleached or unbleached parchment paper?
Unbleached skips a chlorine stage and suits a natural brand. Performance is the same.
Can parchment paper be printed?
Yes, for serving and wrapping. We would not print sheets going into an oven, since ink behaves unpredictably.
Do you cut cake tin circles?
We do, in any diameter. Pre cut discs save a lot of time in a busy bakery.
