The takeout order is the main physical interaction a customer has with a brand, outside of the dining room. There’s no point in a simple, basic wrap. Brands can use branded wax paper to create a little bit of marketing that is sent home with each order, and with restaurants looking to stand out in a crowded delivery app marketplace where the customer can’t see what’s inside the box until they open it, the first unwrap can’t be underestimated.
What’s Wax Paper for Food service?
Food service wax paper is a coated sheet of paper that is used to wrap, line, and separate food products without being affected by oil or moisture. Easy to handle, it’s the perfect solution for taking foods directly from the heat; it is not sticky when it comes to holding warm foods and offers a quick, inexpensive way to wrap foods for take-out, dine-in baskets, or counter top display in the deli.
Benefits for Businesses
Takeout packaging paper serves the purpose of protecting food products, but when it’s being unwrapped, it also puts the brand in front of the customer. That kind of brand exposure is repeated without having to spend additional money on advertising. Aside from brand, wax paper also helps keep down the cost of takeout packaging paper, maintains grease resistance, and provides a uniform appearance for kitchens on all orders, whether for pickup, delivery, or in-house dining.
Features & Specifications
Most commercial-grade custom printed wax paper is in the 30-40 lb range and is on a kraft or white base stock with a wax or food-safe coating that is directly used for food service and is FDA-approved. Standard sheet sizes include sandwich wrap, basket liner, and deli counter use, and custom printing is done on the same sheet size, whether it’s sandwich wrap with a logo or full-sheet branded designs. Single-location restaurants can rely on low MOQs, and it is not just a practical option for multi-unit chains.
It is used in the following industries:
At the counter or in delivery bags, custom food wrapping paper is used by restaurants and quick-service chains to wrap burgers, sandwiches, and fries. Bakeries make use of it to package pastries, so they will not sweat in plastic. It is essential for the branding of food trucks, which use it for quick and inexpensive wrapping, and for delis, which use it in their deli-paper wrapping at the counter where branding is most visible in the daily operation.
To Select the Appropriate Wax Paper
Determine the need for grease resistance or print clarity first, as heavier prints may slightly reduce fine print detail. The common error is to order the cheapest stock that is available, which tends to get greasy food and results in bleed-through and a packaging image that undermines the brand that it’s meant to support.
Why Choose The Deli Paper
Since the Deli Paper prints and ships custom food wrapping paper right from the manufacturer, there will be no reseller markup and close quality control on each run. Independent restaurants can afford custom branding with low MOQs, while quick US shipping prevents packaging paper from running out of stock due to long reorder periods.
