Custom Sandwich Paper
A wrapped sandwich survives a bag, a commute and an hour on a desk before anybody opens it. Sandwich paper holds it together, keeps fillings where they belong and stops the bread drying out, all for about a penny. We supply a lot of sandwich paper at ZEE Packaging and the wrap is doing more work than people credit.
The Wrap Holds It Together
Sandwich paper is structural as much as protective.
- A tight wrap stops fillings sliding out the sides
- Sandwich paper holds a stacked build in shape
- Bread stays soft rather than drying at the edges
- Hands stay clean while somebody eats one handed
- Sandwich paper costs a fraction of a printed carton
- It folds around any shape, no custom size needed
Most delis switch to proper sandwich paper after fillings kept escaping in transit.
Wet Fillings Are The Test
Sauces and dressings decide the grade.
- Greaseproof stops oil soaking through the wrap
- Wet strength stops the sheet tearing when damp
- Mayonnaise and dressing both need that combination
- A dry filling can take a lighter, cheaper grade
- Hot fillings need paper that will not soften
- Tell us what goes inside and we specify it
- Pre cut sheets the standard sandwich paper we supply
- Wrap sheets sized for a full build or a half
- Bag liners sandwich paper lining a paper bag
- Roll format for sites cutting their own lengths
- Printed sandwich paper a logo repeat across the sheet
- Bulk case packs for high volume delis and cafes
Sizes We Run Regular
Every sheet of sandwich paper is cut to your build, though these run often:
- 12" x 12" for a standard sandwich
- 15" x 15" for a large or stacked build
- 10" x 10" for a half or a small roll
- 14" x 14" for a baguette or a sub
- 12" x 16" for a wrap or burrito
- Custom sizes cut to your menu
Wrap one of your own builds in a sample first. Sandwich paper cut slightly too small never folds neatly, however careful staff are.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will sandwich paper hold a loaded build?
On a wet strength grade, yes. Standard stock tears at the fold once mayonnaise sits on it.
How big should the sheet be?
Wrap one and measure. Most delis underestimate, and a tight sheet never folds cleanly.
Will grease come through?
Not on a greaseproof grade. Untreated sandwich paper goes translucent within a minute on an oily filling.
How much is sandwich paper?
Rough estimate is $0.01 to $0.04 per sheet plain, $0.02 to $0.07 one color and $0.04 to $0.12 full color at moderate volume. Shipping is included. This is estimate only, so ask us for a exact quote.
Is the ink food safe?
Always. Sandwich paper sits against the bread, so we only run food safe inks here.
Can sandwich paper go in a hot press?
Not usually. A press needs a heat rated grade, so tell us if you toast wrapped.
Can sandwich paper be composted?
Yes, even soiled. There is no plastic layer, so used sheets go into a food waste stream.
