Custom Butcher Paper

Imagine unwrapping a perfectly smoked brisket with rising steam and rich aroma, and it is presented to you in a custom butcher paper that speaks your brand.  For you, this may be just a piece of packaging. However, for your customers, this is an experience. A custom paper is not an ordinary wrap, but it is the first interaction with your brand. 

Whether you’re a butcher or running a deli store, our custom paper keeps every cut of your meat fresh. With bold print and high absorptive capacity, this paper makes your product premium in appearance and creates a positive impression of your brand on the customers. 

As a custom butcher paper wholesale provider, we give you a way to preserve the flavour and freshness of your food. This is the paper that helps you hold your identity and present your brand as a professional eatery. 

Material For A Durable And Breathable Structure 

The paper is manufactured with high-quality material that ensures a strong and sturdy structure. The fibre composition allows moisture to escape while retaining internal warmth, which is ideal for meat wrapping. Unlike wax paper, a high-quality and real butcher paper is uncoated and free from harmful chemicals. This feature of the paper makes it an ideal food-safe and eco-conscious wrap. We obtain the material from softwood fiber and process it in such a way that a breathable sheet of custom food paper is obtained. 

Types of Butcher Paper  

Butcher paper comes in a huge variety of options. Each type of paper is customised for a specific food application. From smoky BBQ briskets to deli sandwiches and fresh seafood, we have a different paper type for each application.  

Pink Or Peach Butcher Paper (aka Texas Crutch)

This type of butcher sheet is uncoated and breathable, and is widely used in BBQ making. The pink color of the paper adds a rustic charm while allowing smoke to pass through it. Unlike foil, it does not trap steam inside it. This feature of the paper helps in the creation of bark and deep flavor development in BBQ or briskets. This paper is strong enough to retain the moisture without tearing. 

White Butcher Paper

White butcher paper is a classic choice that is widely used at butcher and deli shops. Just like bleached greaseproof paper, white butcher sheets are also uncoated and have a clean and professional look. You can use this paper for wrapping meat, sandwiches, and lining trays. The breathability of the paper prevents the wrapped food from getting soggy. If you need a hygienic yet durable wrap, then white paper is an excellent option. 

Brown Kraft Butcher Paper

Kraft or brown butcher paper is an excellent and top choice for brands looking for unbleached packaging. This is not as breathable as other types of butcher paper rolls, but it has marvellous resistance to grease. Kraft paper has a minimalist and aesthetic look that blends perfectly with the sustainable nature of your company. Commonly, this type of butcher sheet is used in farmers’ markets and small businesses. 

Wax-Coated Butcher Paper

Sometimes brands need a paper that has the same moisture resistance as that of wax paper, but also one that is thicker. In this case, wax-coated butcher wraps are commonly used. The high-end capacity of the material to resist moisture contains raw juices from meat. This paper is not preferred for high-heat applications, but it is widely used for raw product wrapping.  

Printing On Butcher Wrapping Paper 

Printing is one of the most essential components of the paper that not only helps in grabbing the attention of customers but also facilitates promoting the brand. You can use any unique artwork of your brand in the color of your choice to get the best custom food wrapping paper. We use the following options to enhance the aesthetics of the paper: 

• Offset printing 
• Screen printing
• Digital printing 
• Flexography 

Additives And Sizing Agents Used On Butcher Paper

Butcher paper sheets are treated with different types of additives and sizing agents that modify the absorbency of the paper. The selection of additives and sizing agents is done based on the goal of increasing or decreasing the absorption capacity of the paper. 

Sizing Agents

Sizing agents are added to the paper at the time of manufacturing to reduce the absorbency of the paper and make it moisture-resistant. There are several types of sizing that create a barrier on the surface of the sheets, such as:

Rosin-Alum Sizing

Rozin is applied under acidic conditions. It helps in the reduction of water absorption and engages the paper’s grease resistance capacity.  

Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD)

Alkyl ketene dimer is a sizing agent that is used in neutral or alkaline paper manufacturing. It improves the water resistance without making the custom-printed paper for butcher shops stiff.  

Alkenyl Succinic Anhydride (ASA)

Alkylsuccinic anhydride has a remarkable capacity to make the paper moisture resistant. It prevents the food paper from absorbing liquids from the food too quickly.  

Absorbency-Enhancing Additives

If you want to increase the absorbency of your customized butcher rolls or sheets, then you can select absorbency-enhancing agents. For deli, butcher, and sandwich paper, manufacturers usually prefer this because here, soaking up of juices is required. 

Porous Filler Control

In this process, the paper is manufactured in such a way that its porosity increases. Here, we do not have to apply any kind of heavy sizing agents. 

Hydrophilic Additives

Hydrophobic additives are used to enhance water absorption. They include cellulose that draws water into the paper without compromising the strength.
