Custom Hot Paper for Food Wrapping, Lining, and Brand Presentation
Every food business has surfaces that need to be covered, and custom hot paper is one of the most versatile tools in the packaging toolkit. Basket liners, tray papers, deli wraps, sandwich sheets, and burger wrapping paper all fall under this category, and all of them are opportunities to reinforce your brand. At Teal Packaging, we work with specialized manufacturing partners to produce food-safe, fully printed custom hot paper that works as hard as your kitchen crew and looks sharp doing it.
Our printed hot wrapping paper is available from a minimum order of 50 units, ships free across the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, and comes with complimentary design support so your brand identity translates perfectly onto every sheet. Whether you need plain greaseproof sheets with a subtle logo or bold full-color wrapping paper that doubles as a marketing tool, we have the materials and capabilities to deliver.
For rigid packaging that complements your paper wrapping program, check out our custom food boxes and custom retail boxes that create a seamless branded experience from kitchen to customer.
Materials and GSM Specifications
The performance of custom hot paper depends entirely on the substrate. Different hot food applications require different levels of grease resistance, moisture protection, and heat tolerance. Teal Packaging offers a range of food-grade paper stocks to meet every need.
- Greaseproof paper (35-60 gsm): Thin, lightweight, and highly resistant to oil and grease migration. Standard for wrapping fried items, lining baskets, and serving chips and fries. Available in unbleached kraft or bleached white.
- Silicone-coated baking paper (40-70 gsm): Non-stick coating makes this ideal for bakeries and cafes that need paper that releases cleanly from pastries and baked goods.
- Wax-coated paper (50-80 gsm): Moisture and grease barrier for wrapping burgers, sandwiches, and chili dogs. Slightly heavier weight adds structural integrity during folding.
- MG (machine-glazed) kraft paper (60-90 gsm): One side glazed for printability and grease resistance; popular with butcher shops, delis, and artisan food producers.
- Coated white food wrap (55-75 gsm): Clay-coated surface delivers the clearest, most vibrant print results while maintaining reliable food contact safety.
All substrates are FSC-certified and printed with soy-based inks to keep your packaging environmentally responsible.
Customization Options
Personalized hot wrapping paper turns a commodity product into a brand asset. Teal Packaging supports a full range of customization options.
- Full surface printing: Cover every square inch of your sheet with patterns, brand colors, logos, and messaging for maximum impact.
- Single or double-sided printing: Single-sided is the most common format; double-sided printing works well for sheets that are visible on both faces when folded.
- CMYK and Pantone color matching: Achieve precise brand colors with industry-standard color systems for consistent results across every reorder.
- Custom sizes and roll formats: Order flat sheets or continuous rolls in the exact dimensions that work with your kitchen workflow or dispenser equipment.
- Perforation: Add perforation lines to roll-format paper for easy, consistent tearing at the point of service.
- QR codes and promotions: Embed a QR code linking to your digital menu, loyalty program, or social media channels so every wrapped item drives customer engagement.
Free design support is available for all orders.
Our designers handle everything from logo placement to full-pattern creation, with revisions included at no extra charge.
