Material Specifications and Food Safety Standards
Custom shawarma paper requires specific material properties to function effectively in high-moisture, high-grease food service applications.
Our standard offering uses 35 GSM to 40 GSM basis weight paper specially treated for grease resistance. This weight provides adequate strength for wrapping substantial sandwiches while remaining pliable enough for easy folding and handling during busy service periods.
Food safety is paramount in all our shawarma paper production. Materials meet FDA requirements for direct food contact and are manufactured in facilities maintaining rigorous hygiene standards.
The grease-resistant treatment is applied using food-safe processes that create an effective barrier without introducing harmful chemicals or off-flavors to your products. For applications requiring additional moisture protection, we offer papers with specialized wax coatings or poly-lined alternatives rated to 50 GSM.
Our soy-based inks ensure vibrant color reproduction while maintaining food safety compliance and environmental responsibility. Unlike:
- Petroleum-based alternatives
- Soy inks provide excellent coverage
- Color fidelity without risk of contamination. The combination of quality base paper
- Premium inks delivers custom shawarma paper that performs reliably through production

Design Customization and Branding Options
Creating effective custom shawarma paper begins with understanding how customers interact with your packaging. We recommend designs that work effectively both when wrapped around sandwiches and when laid flat on trays or baskets.
Logo placement, pattern density, and text sizing are optimized to ensure visibility regardless of how the paper is folded or creased during food preparation.
Full-color digital printing allows unlimited design complexity, from simple one-color logos to intricate patterns and photographic elements.
Popular approaches include all-over pattern designs that create visual interest from any angle, strategic logo placement that remains visible on wrapped products, and ingredient or origin story text that engages customers while they eat. We support Pantone color matching for precise brand color reproduction across all print runs.
Beyond traditional flat printing, we can incorporate functional design elements like:
- Fold guides
- Portion markers
- Or handling instructions that improve operational efficiency
Similar strategic design thinking informs our food boxes and retail boxes, where packaging becomes an integral part of the customer experience rather than an afterthought.
Available Sizes and Format Options
Custom shawarma paper is produced in sheet formats sized to accommodate various sandwich styles and wrapping methods. Common dimensions include 12 x 12 inch squares for traditional wrapping techniques, 10 x 14 inch rectangles for larger gyros and wraps, and 8 x 10 inch sheets for smaller pita sandwiches.
Custom dimensions are available to precisely match your specific menu items and portioning standards.
For high-volume operations, we offer:
- Personalized shawarma paper on rolls with pre-measured tear perforations at your specified intervals. Roll formats streamline service during rush periods
- Allowing staff to quickly dispense exactly the right amount of paper without measuring or cutting. Standard roll widths range from 8 to 18 inches
- With custom perforation spacing from 10 to 16 inches depending on your sandwich sizes
Beyond standard rectangular formats, we can produce custom die-cut shapes that create distinctive presentations. Rounded corners reduce tearing during wrapping, while custom edge treatments add premium touches that differentiate your brand.
All size specifications are developed collaboratively to ensure optimal material usage while meeting your operational requirements.
Sustainability and Responsible Sourcing
At Teal Packaging, we recognize that food service businesses increasingly prioritize environmental responsibility.
Our shawarma paper is produced using FSC-certified paper from responsibly managed forests, ensuring your packaging choices support sustainable forestry practices. The grease-resistant treatments we employ are designed to be compostable in commercial facilities, offering end-of-life disposal options beyond traditional landfill.
Our manufacturing partners implement comprehensive recycling programs for production waste, and we continuously evaluate emerging materials that reduce environmental impact.
While maintaining the grease resistance and strength essential for food service applications, we prioritize paper grades that minimize bleaching chemicals and processing impacts. The soy-based inks used throughout our printing further reduce petroleum dependence and VOC emissions.
Sustainable packaging extends beyond materials to include efficient logistics. these boxes ships in compact bundles that maximize container use, reducing transportation emissions per unit delivered.
This same efficiency principle guides our approach to all packaging products, including kraft boxes and mailer boxes, where material optimization benefits both environmental goals and your bottom line.
