Custom Greaseproof Paper

How Is Custom Greaseproof Paper Manufactured?

Our Custom Greaseproof Paper is designed to provide excellent grease resistance, safety and printability without sacrificing environmental performance. The paper's natural oil resistant properties are achieved through an advanced manufacturing process instead of relying on heavy wax coatings that increases fiber density and minimizes porosity. The result is a durable and food grade wrapping paper.

1. Premium Virgin Wood Pulp Selection

The process begins with careful selected virgin wood pulp sourced from responsible managed forests. Long cellulose fibers are preferred because they create strong paper with excellent durability and improved grease resistance. The use of high quality pulp also ensures the finished paper remains safe for direct food contact and supports environment responsible packaging solutions.

2. Fiber Refining for Natural Grease Resistance

The cleaned cellulose pulp is refined to such an extent that the separation and hydration of the fibers takes place. With increasing fineness and closer bonding of the fibers, there is an increase in the density of the paper. This significant reduces oil penetration and creates the natural grease resistant properties that make greaseproof paper ideal for food packaging.

3. Uniform Sheet Formation

The refined pulp is evenly distributed onto a continuous paper forming machine, where excess water is removed and maintains consistent fiber distribution. This controlled process produces smooth and uniform sheets with reliable thickness, strength and printing performance that ensures every sheet meets high quality packaging standards.

4. Pressing and Controlled Drying

The new paper undergoes precision press rollers in order to extract extra moisture and build the strength of the fiber network. The paper then goes through heating cylinders in order to build up its structure, durability and smoothness required for high-quality printing and food wrapping purposes.

5. Supercalendering for a Smooth Finish

This is done by passing the paper between supercalender rollers with polish through pressure control. The supercalendering process compacts the paper surface to create an attractive and durable finish, providing good grease resistance and enabling bright and clear logo printing.

Our production supports both Flexographic Printing for large volume orders and Offset Printing for premium quality graphics and fine details.

Food Safe Coating Options

Different food products require different levels of grease and moisture protection. We offer optional food safe barrier treatments that improve functionality and maintain sustainability. The available coating options include:

• Natural Grease Resistant Barrier
• Wax Coating
• Silicone Coating
• Water Based Barrier Coating
• Bio Based PLA Coating
• Soy Based Protective Coating

These coatings improve grease resistance, heat tolerance and non stick performance to remain suitable for food contact applications.

Food Safe Additives That Enhance Greaseproof Paper Performance 

The superior performance of Custom Greaseproof Paper comes from following food safe additives that are selected with care to strengthen the paper without relying on heavy surface coatings:

• Modified starches increase fiber adhesion and reduce water and oil retention.
• Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD): Increases oil and water repellency due to its affinity for cellulose fibers.
• Cationic Starch: Increases surface strength of paper and printability.
• Wet Strength Resins: Keeps paper strength constant in presence of moisture or hot food items.
• Polyamide Epichlorohydrin (PAE): Increases tear resistance and wet strength.
• Mineral Fillers: Increase whiteness, opacity and printability.

Sizes and Shape Options

No two food businesses package products the same way. That is why we manufacture greaseproof paper in custom dimensions to perfect fit your products and packaging style. The popular sizes include:

We also manufacture custom sized sheets, rolls, pre cut wraps and basket liners for restaurants, takeaway outlets and catering businesses.

Best Practices for Storing and Handling Bulk Greaseproof Paper

Proper storage is essential to maintain the structural integrity, grease resistance and print quality of your wholesale greaseproof paper. It responds to harsh environmental conditions since our paper is 100% biodegradable without any synthetic plastics. Here are some B2B storage tips that will ensure long life of your packaging:

• Climate Control: Keep in an area which is cool and dry. Temperature must be ideally between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 26°C) with relative humidity less than 50%. 
• No Exposure to Sunlight: As sunlight has UV rays and due to them, the ink printed on custom printed greaseproof paper will fade. The boxes should therefore be stored inside shaded places only.
• Stay off the Floor: Keep the pallets and boxes at a height above the ground floor where the moisture may wick through into the paper, which will weaken its crispness and wet strength.
• FIFO Inventory Management: Manage your inventories using "first-in first-out" methodology in order to use up the old supplies before the new ones.

How Does Greaseproof Paper Resist Grease Without a Coating?

The Custom Greaseproof Paper acts against grease due to its denseness as compared to any other kind of paper that is made resistant by its surface coating. During the production process, the cellulose fibers are subjected to high intensity pressing which makes the fibers less porous, thus creating a natural barrier to keep oil from passing through. This type of grease proof paper does not use any kind of coating on its surface, making it breathable.

How to Identify High Quality Greaseproof Paper

High quality greaseproof paper is identified by its smooth texture, slight natural sheen and semi transparent appearance. It feels firm yet flexible and offers excellent tear resistance during food handling. They remain visible instead of soaking through quickly and demonstrate effective grease resistance when a few drops of oil are placed on the surface. Premium greaseproof paper also provides a clean printing surface that ensures logos and branding remain sharp, vibrant and professional.
