Build specification
Great packaging starts with the right substrate, and we stock six of them: Kraft Board, Corrugated Board, Coated Art Board (C1S), Rigid Greyboard, Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS), and Metallic Board. That range runs the gamut — recyclable kraft for artisan and sustainable labels, dense greyboard for luxury rigid boxes, and bright virgin-fibre SBS for cosmetics, pharma, and premium retail. From cost-effective corrugated mailers for a growing shop to the reassuring heft of a magnetic-closure rigid box, every sheet is FSC-certified and chosen to hold up on the shelf, through shipping, and in the customer's hands.
Finishing is what turns a printed box into one people remember, and we offer the full toolkit: soft-touch matte lamination, high-gloss lamination, silk lamination, spot UV, gold and silver foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and aqueous coating. A hit of spot UV gives a gloss-on-matte contrast that pulls the eye straight to your logo, while soft-touch lamination lends rigid boxes a velvety hand-feel that reads as quality before the lid even moves. Foil on SBS or coated art paper adds the crisp metallic detail luxury cosmetic, fragrance, and gifting brands use to justify premium pricing and earn unboxing shares.
How a box feels — and how it survives the journey — comes down to paper weight, so we stock the full span from lightweight 8pt to heavyweight 28pt, measured on the point system US and UK suppliers share. The lighter 8pt–12pt range is ideal for folding cartons and high-volume retail runs. The 14pt–18pt mid-range is the true workhorse of product packaging: sturdy enough to protect, slim enough to ship affordably. Step up to 20pt–28pt and you get the rigid, substantial feel that luxury gift boxes, rigid set-up boxes, and premium cosmetic packaging depend on, where sheer heft signals quality before the box is opened.
Custom Food Grade Paper for Sandwich and Deli Service
Food-Safe Wrapping Paper for Restaurants and Delis
Custom food grade paper is one of the most widely used packaging materials across restaurants, sandwich shops, delis, butcher counters, bakeries, food trucks, and quick-service food operations. It serves both a functional and branding purpose by protecting food during service while creating repeated customer brand exposure throughout the eating experience.
Unlike plain generic wrapping paper, custom printed food paper helps businesses reinforce brand identity every time a sandwich, burger, pastry, or deli item is wrapped and served. Because customers directly handle the paper during meals, it becomes an important part of the overall food presentation and packaging experience.
Branded food wrapping paper also helps restaurants create a more professional and recognizable appearance across dine-in, takeout, and delivery operations.
- Food-safe wrapping paper for direct food contact
- Ideal for sandwich shops, delis, and food trucks
- Improves branding during customer interaction
- Suitable for dine-in, takeout, and delivery packaging
Food Grade Paper Materials for Different Applications
Material weight and paper construction directly affect food wrapping performance. Lightweight 35gsm food paper works well for standard sandwich wrapping, bakery products, and lightweight deli applications where flexibility and easy handling are important.
Mid-weight 40 to 60gsm paper provides additional durability for butcher wrapping, heavier sandwiches, and food items with more structural weight. Premium 70 to 100gsm food grade paper offers a thicker and more upscale feel often used by gourmet sandwich shops, artisan delis, and premium food brands looking to elevate packaging presentation.
The right paper weight depends on the food type, grease level, serving style, and overall customer experience the business wants to create.
- 35gsm paper for lightweight food wrapping
- 40–60gsm paper for deli and butcher applications
- 70–100gsm paper for premium food presentation
- Custom paper weights available for different food types
Grease-Resistant and Moisture Barrier Options
Different food products require different levels of grease and moisture resistance. Plain uncoated food grade paper works well for dry foods such as bread, pastries, and bakery products that do not release significant oils or moisture.
Grease-resistant coatings are commonly used for sandwiches, burgers, grilled foods, and deli items containing butter, sauces, oils, or heated fillings that could soak through standard paper. Wax-coated food paper provides additional moisture protection for refrigerated deli applications and cold sandwich packaging.
Some premium food packaging programs also use PE-coated food paper to combine the natural look of paper with enhanced leak resistance and durability.
- Uncoated paper for dry food applications
- Grease-resistant coating for sandwiches and burgers
- Wax-coated paper for cold deli service
- PE-coated options for extra moisture protection
FDA-Compliant Food Contact Packaging
Food safety compliance is critical for packaging materials that come into direct contact with food products. Packlic custom food grade paper uses FDA-approved food-safe materials designed for direct food wrapping applications across commercial food service operations.
Food-safe low-migration inks and approved coating systems are used to help meet FDA packaging standards while maintaining strong print quality and branding performance. Compliance documentation is available for health inspections, restaurant supply onboarding, butcher operations, and food service audits.
This level of compliance is especially important for sandwich chains, deli franchises, and commercial food businesses operating under strict food safety regulations.

Two-color and three-color flexographic printing provide additional design flexibility for deli paper and butcher wrapping applications, while full CMYK offset printing supports high-quality restaurant graphics, food photography, and premium branded packaging visuals.
PMS spot color printing ensures consistent brand color reproduction across long-term production runs, helping sandwich shops and food chains maintain a recognizable visual identity across every customer order.
