In today’s competitive food and hospitality market, first impressions count — and packaging plays a huge role.
Whether you run a bakery, café, takeaway, or deli, custom printed greaseproof paper and butter paper are more than just wrapping — they’re a branding opportunity.
At Online Printing Factory, we print, affordable, and high quality greaseproof papers and butter paper for your businesses.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know before placing your first order — from sizes to materials, industries, printing options, and sustainability.
The Difference Between Greaseproof Paper & Butter Paper?
Let’s start by clearing up the basics:
Butter Paper
Lightweight and moisture-resistant, butter paper is typically used for wrapping baked goods, confectionery, and sandwiches.
It’s non-stick and ideal for oily or moist foods — a great option for food presentation and hygiene.
Greaseproof Paper
Stronger and more durable, greaseproof paper is designed to resist oil and grease completely.
It’s commonly used for burgers, fries, pastries, and even deli meats. It keeps food fresh while preventing grease stains.
Both types can be custom printed with your branding, and they serve slightly different functions — many businesses use both, depending on their product range.
Who Uses Custom Printed Food Wrapping Paper?
Custom butter and greaseproof paper are used by businesses across the UK food and retail sector, including:
- Bakeries & Patisseries – To wrap cakes, muffins, bread, and pastries.
- Cafés & Coffee Shops – For wrapping paninis, croissants, cookies, and more.
