Professional Food Presentation With Grease Paper

Custom Grease Paper | Your Solution To Sustainable Food Presentation

You have perfected your recipes, and the taste of your food is incredible. Nonetheless, you must have experienced that the quality of your meal starts to unravel due to its oily and greasy appearance. If this is happening to you, then you need Custom Grease Paper. Moisture turns the crispy items soggy and makes your product presentation smear beyond representation. Food packaging is not all about aesthetics; it is about building trust. Every leak and stain quietly tells your customers that you do not care about the details.

Custom greaseproof paper for food solves all these problems and locks the freshness of your edibles. Not only this, the grease-resistant nature makes it repel oils and preserve the texture of food. At Custom Grease Papers, we are giving one of the finest quality food packaging products that allows you to retain product quality while getting an exceptional promotional tool.

What Is Custom Food Paper?

Custom food paper is a specially designed wrapping paper that is used to wrap and present food products. It can be customized to fit the requirements of any food business in terms of size and print design. A greaseproof paper roll is a wrap for a gourmet burger, and it also lines a charcuterie board. Brands can use it as a practical and strong marketing tool for professional food presentation.

Material Selection For High-End Protection And Presentation 

Whenever you wrap your food in paper, you are putting it in a micro-environment. The selection of material decides what happened inside the wrapped items. A quality material will block the external air and debris coming in direct contact with the food and ensure that the food stays warm and fresh. At our company, we carefully select the material of custom greaseproof paper for restaurants to get the desired product protection.

Virgin Kraft Paper

This paper is manufactured with wood pulp that goes through a chemical process called the kraft process. Wood chips are cooked in a solution of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide in this process. To manufacture virgin kraft paper, lignin is broken down to preserve the long cellulose fibers. The long fibers make kraft one of the most durable options.

Cellulose is a polysaccharide that has long chains of glucose units that bond together strongly. The longer and more intact these chains are, the more durable your paper will be. Virgin Kraft is manufactured with fresh wood pulp and has the longest fiber chains. These long chains give flexibility and tear resistance to the paper. So when you wrap the food items, the food remains presentable for a long duration.

Bleached Sulphite Paper

This is a relatively lighter paper that is produced using a sulfate pulping process. During the manufacturing of paper, it undergoes chlorine free bleaching process. Hydrogen peroxide and ozone are used to remove the color of lignin so that baking greaseproof paper becomes bright without compromising food safety.

Brands prefer white paper because they need an aesthetic food appearance, the clean white color shows the cleanliness and freshness of the food items, and shows your brand’s professionalism. In addition to this, you can print the paper logo and get an easy promotional tool. Bleached sulphate paper has a smooth look that is easy to print with crisp designs.

Printing To Alive Your Brand On Paper

Packaging is not just a protective tool, but it is also a promotional tool. Every food paper sheet that you use to pack the edible items leaves your restaurant with a remarkable promotional potential. With custom printed greaseproof paper, you can give your food a catchy presentation and remarkable branding. Some of the printing options that we use are as follows:

Flexographic Printing

This printing method uses flexible rubber or photopolymer plates that carry a raised image of the required design. In flexible printing, fast drying and food-safe inks are picked from an anilox roller. An anilox roller is a precision-engraved cylinder that has millions of tiny ink cells for direct transfer of inks to the paper at high speed. This efficiency and high-speed of the flexographic process make it easy for us to give customers fast delivery of food paper.

Get The Finest Designs 

The efficiency of an anilox roller is measured in lines per inch that range from 120 to 360 LPI for food packaging. The higher the LPI, the finer the ink cell structure is. This means that anilox rollers with high LPI give precise ink measurements and give consistent colors. You can get design paper perfectly with small fonts and intricate logos.

Food-Grade Inks 

We use water-based or UV-cured inks that are certified food-safe. UV-cured inks are photoinitiator molecules that react instantly when exposed to ultraviolet light and trigger the process of polymerization. The ink molecules link together into solid chains in a fraction of a second with zero smearing and bleeding. This results in a printed paper that has a highly professional design.

Digital Printing

This printing method eliminates the physical plates entirely as they apply inks directly to the paper using inkjet or laser technology. Food businesses can order smaller orders and get frequent design changes by selecting digital printing methods. Seasonal menus and limited edition packaging can be printed with this method for super quality and economical rates.

Pigment-Based Inks 

Modern digital printing uses food-safe and pigment-based inks rather than dye-based inks. Pigment-based inks have large and insoluble particles that perfectly cover the fiber surface. They do not dissolve and are resistant to water and light. This means your printed logos do not fade easily when the paper comes in contact with condensation from hot food or surrounding moisture.

Resolution On Digital Printing 

Resolution is measured in dots per inch in digital printing. We use 1200 DPI for the greaseproof paper roll and give a professional look to the packaging. Each square inch contains 1440, 000 individual ink dots and gives precise and photographic-quality images. Digital printing gives gradients and micro-text on paper with exceptional clarity.

Coating Options To Give Specific Properties To Papers 

Coatings are applied to the surface and interior of the paper to give it specific properties, such as being grease-resistant and moisture-blocking. The application of the coating is done with a different mechanism and gives distinct properties to the paper.

Silicone Coating

This coating applies a thin layer of polydimethylsiloxane to the surface of the paper. Silicon oxygen polymer chain backbone is highly flexible and thermally stable. Due to this, custom food wrapping paper can be used for baking. The best feature that silicon coating gives to the paper is its low surface energy. Surface energy determines how strongly the molecules remain stuck to the surface.

A silicone-coated paper, known as parchment paper, is one of the common items in bakeries. The surface energy of silicene-coated paper is lower than that of the food items, such as caramelized sugars and melted cheese, along with sauces. This means food molecules can’t form a strong adhesive bond with the paper and release cleanly after baking without tearing or leaving residues. Parchment paper is a gold standard in bakeries and is used for croissants and cookies. Bread peels off perfectly, and you can easily use the paper as a food basket liner.

Wax Coating

This coating is applied to the paper with a process known as hydrophobic surface modification. Paraffin wax is composed of long chains of alkane molecules that are saturated hydrocarbons with no polar functional groups. So when a manufacturer applies wax on the paper in the molten state and cools it down, the molecules crystallise into a continuous hydrophobic layer across the paper surface. This very non-polar part of the paper makes it resistant to moisture molecules. The water molecules bead up and roll off the paper rather than absorbing into the paper.

We also have the option of soy wax coatings that give the same hydrophobic properties to wax paper and are a sustainable alternative. The fatty acid chains in soy wax behave similarly to paraffin alkanes and resist moisture. However, it is a sustainable option and decomposes naturally because of the biological enzymes that can cleave ester bonds. Brands that are looking for a sustainable yet durable alternative to traditional wax paper find soy-based paper a perfect option.

Sizing Agents 

This is a chemical treatment and not a surface layer application. Sizing agents modify the behavior of the cellulose fibers themselves and give high durable, greaseproof paper sheets.  Alkyl Ketene Dimer or Alkenyl Succinic Anhydride are the common sizing agents. These molecules contain a hydroxyl group that forms a covalent bond with the hydroxyl group on cellulose molecules.

Once bonded, the long hydrophobic tails of the sizing molecules extend outward from the fiber and change the fiber’s surface from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. This is a profound change in the molecular structure of the paper that gives it hydrophobic properties.

Surface sizing agents are applied via size press during paper manufacturing and typically use starch solutions that fill the pores between fibers and increase the paper’s surface strength. This also reduces the ink’s absorption and keeps the printed designs on custom greaseproof paper with logo sharp.

Super-Calendaring 

This is a process in which the paper pulp is beaten to the state of nearly complete hydration and fibrillation to get glassine paper. Glassine paper is a non-coated paper that undergoes extreme mechanical processing. After the beating, the paper pulp is passed through a heavy series of polished rollers under high pressure and temperature. This processing collapses the fiber network into a dense and highly oriented structure with virtually no air pockets. You will get semi-transparent and glossy paper with a smooth surface.

What happens in the super-calendering process is that the cellulose fibers tightly pack and are hydrogen-bonded to each other. This eliminates free spaces between the fibers, and no grease or moisture penetrates the paper. In addition to glassine. Greaseproof paper and butcher paper are also our non-coated varieties that are used for various industrial applications.
