A dish that looks perfect on the plate can still let a restaurant down the moment it’s wrapped for takeaway. Grease bleeds through—the wrap tears at the fold. What left the kitchen looking sharp arrives looking like an afterthought.

At Deli Paper, we manufacture restaurant food wrapping paper for kitchens across the UK. Paper built to survive the walk from pass to plate, not just something that looks fine sitting flat in a box.

Why Does Cheap Wrapping Paper Let Restaurants Down?

Thin, untreated paper sticks to whatever it touches. Unwrap a dish, and half of it stays glued to the sheet instead of coming away clean.

Grease is the bigger issue, though. Sauces and fatty fillings soak straight through weak paper — stains on trays, bags, worktops, sometimes before the order’s even left the building.

Presentation takes the hit too. A torn, greasy sheet doesn’t match a menu that’s otherwise been put together with care. Premium food-safe paper should protect the dish, not undo it at the last step.

What Types of Food Wrapping Paper Should Restaurants Know About?

Not every kitchen job calls for the same sheet, and mixing them up is where a lot of the frustration comes from. Here's how the main types break down.

• Greaseproof paper 

• Wax paper

• Butcher paper 

• Parchment paper

• Printed wrap sheets 

Picking the right type up front saves a lot of trial and error once service actually gets busy.

What Should You Look For in Premium Food-Safe Paper?

Our premium food-safe paper comes in a range of weights, since a light salad wrap and a loaded burger need genuinely different levels of protection.

• Non-stick surface — food lifts away clean, without sticking to the sheet.

• High wet strength — holds together under heavy, saucy fillings without splitting mid-service.

• Multiple sheet sizes — small liners through to larger tray and platter dimensions.

• Consistent quality — one batch performs like the last, no surprises between deliveries.

How Does Grease-Resistant Wrapping Paper Meet UK Food Safety Rules?

Anything touching food directly has to meet current UK food-contact standards — lining a tray or wrapping an order to go, doesn’t matter which.

Our grease-resistant wrapping paper is made without PFAS chemicals, using FSC-certified sourcing where the base stock allows it. That covers the compliance side, and the sustainability questions more diners are asking about these days.

• PFAS-free coating 

• FSC-certified sourcing 

• Recyclable where uncoated 

• Compliance documentation supplied 

Can Takeaway Food Packaging Actually Build Brand Loyalty?

Takeaway food packaging printed with a sharp logo puts your name directly in the customer’s hands, whether the order’s eaten at a desk, on a train, or straight off the counter.

• Sharp custom printing

• Consistent brand identity 

• Real photo appeal

Why Choose Printed Food Wrap Sheets Over Plain Stock?

Plain paper does the job, but it does nothing else. Printed food wrap sheets carry your branding out the door and into places a menu board never reaches.

• Extends brand reach — every wrap becomes a small, mobile advert for the business.

• Reinforces professionalism — branded wrapping signals a kitchen that takes presentation seriously.

Ordering Details: Sizes, MOQ and Turnaround

Most restaurants want a straight answer, so here it is.

• Standard sizes — small liner sheets through to larger tray and platter sizes, bespoke cuts on request.

• Minimum order quantity — from 1,000 sheets on custom printed runs, lower for plain stock.

• Production time — usually 7–12 working days from artwork approval.

• UK-wide delivery — direct to your restaurant, with pallet options for multi-site groups.
