Material Options and Technical Specifications
We offer custom sandwich paper in multiple material weights to suit different food types and presentation styles.
Our standard grease-resistant paper ranges from 30 gsm to 45 gsm, providing varying levels of oil and moisture protection. The 30 gsm option works beautifully for dry baked goods and lighter sandwiches, offering a delicate feel with adequate protection.
For juicier sandwiches and items with sauce or dressing, we recommend 40 gsm or 45 gsm paper that provides superior grease resistance.
Each material option is manufactured by our partners using food-grade paper stock with grease-resistant treatments that meet FDA requirements for direct food contact. The paper is designed to maintain its integrity when wrapped around warm foods without tearing or becoming transparent from oil absorption.
Our wax-free options provide grease resistance through specialized paper fiber treatments rather than coatings, making them more environmentally friendly.
All paper stocks are FSC-certified, sourced from responsibly managed forests that balance environmental protection with economic sustainability. We print using soy-based inks that are completely food-safe and biodegradable.
The combination of certified materials and sustainable inks creates custom sandwich paper that aligns with modern consumer expectations for eco-conscious packaging. The paper accepts ink beautifully, producing crisp text and vibrant colors that make your brand pop.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Sandwich Paper
What is the minimum order quantity for custom printed sandwich paper?
Teal Packaging requires a minimum order of only 50 sheets for bespoke sandwich paper, making professional branded packaging accessible to businesses of all sizes. This low minimum is particularly valuable for small cafes, food trucks, and businesses testing new branding before committing to larger quantities. Unlike:
- Competitors requiring minimums of 1
- 000 or 5
- 000 sheets
- Our approach allows you to order what you actually need without excess inventory sitting in storage. The 50-sheet minimum applies to each design variation
- So you can order multiple designs for different menu items or seasonal promotions
How long does production take for these boxes?
Our standard production and delivery timeline is two weeks from the moment you approve your final design proof. This includes manufacturing time at our partners' facilities and shipping to your location. Rush production may be available for urgent deadlines with additional fees, though we recommend planning ahead when possible.
For first-time orders, allow an extra week for design development and revision if you don't have print-ready artwork. Many customers establish recurring order schedules to ensure they never run out of made-to-order sandwich paper while maintaining fresh inventory.
Is your sandwich paper safe for direct food contact?
Yes, all of our personalized sandwich paper is manufactured from food-grade materials that meet FDA requirements for direct food contact. The grease-resistant treatments are food-safe and won't transfer chemicals to food products.
Our soy-based inks are specifically formulated for food packaging applications and contain no harmful substances that could migrate into food. Each material undergoes testing to ensure compliance with food safety regulations in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia.
You can confidently use our sandwich paper to wrap products that will be consumed directly from the paper.
Can I use these boxes for hot foods?
Absolutely.
Our this packaging is designed to handle both hot and cold foods effectively. The grease-resistant treatments maintain their effectiveness even when paper is in contact with warm items. The paper won't become transparent or break down when wrapping hot sandwiches, burgers, or baked goods.
However, extremely hot items just out of the oven may benefit from a brief cooling period to prevent steam buildup that could soften the paper. Many of our bakery clients use our sandwich paper for fresh pastries and warm sandwiches throughout the day with excellent results.
What file formats should I provide for my custom design?
We accept vector files in Adobe Illustrator (AI), EPS, or PDF formats for the best print quality and scalability. High-resolution PNG or JPG files at 300 DPI or higher also work well for most designs. If you don't have professional design files, don't worry.
