Custom Deli Paper

Custom deli paper is an essential packaging wrap used in deli stores and several other fast-food restaurants. When brands need affordable yet dependable packaging then this paper comes at the front. The flexibility and food-safe nature of deli sheets makes them an ideal paper to be used in direct contact with the food. 

Deli paper may not be useful for high-temperature applications, but when it comes to wrapping moderately moist and greasy food this paper comes at the top. Due to the flexibility of the paper it perfectly wraps around the product. 

Personalized deli paper is a translucent sheet that is thin and grease-resistant. Apart from being used in food service, this paper is used in arts and crafts too. By getting the paper with the printed logo you can use it as an effective marketing tool and elevate consumers’ experience. 

Distinct Features That Set Deli Paper Apart

Although in case of unavailability you can use other food wraps in place of deli sheets. But there are plenty of features that set deli paper sheets apart. Not only the gsm but coatings and moisture-resistant capability of the paper are different than the rest of the food wraps, such as: 

Deli Paper Versus Wax Paper

Wax paper is fully coated with wax mostly on both sides. Due to the dual side application of wax, it is highly slick and non-absorbent. The shiny and non-absorbent surface of the paper makes it unsuitable for printing because the wax coating can interfere with ink adhesion. On the other hand, customized deli paper sheets are either uncoated or coated on one side. This makes it more receptive to printing. 

Deli Paper Versus Parchment Paper

Parchment paper is coated with silicone and has excellent non-stick properties. You can also use this paper under high-temperatures without the fear of it burning. In contrast to it, deli store paper is usually used for cold or moderately hot food items. Its main purpose is to promote the brand while preserving the freshness of sandwiches and deli meats. 

Deli Paper Versus Greaseproof Paper

As the name of greaseproof paper indicates its main purpose is to repel oil oozing out from fatty food. This paper is relatively thick compared to custom deli paper sheets that offer moderate resistance to grease food and items. 

Sustainable Material For Sustained Packaging 

Deli store paper is manufactured using sustainable materials for food protection and environmental safety. The best option, in this case, is the use of paper-based material that comes from the combination of soft and hardwood. This material is biodegradable and does not contribute to solid waste generation. We select specific gsm considering the customer’s demand to ensure that you can easily wrap it around the product without tearing it. 

Printing Methods For Professional Paper Design 

Custom printed deli paper helps you get professional packaging that makes it feasible for you to get the attention of the customers. Not only this but with a perfect layout and promotional elements, you can use the packaging paper as a promotional tool. Despite having multiple types of methods due to ease, such as:

Flexographic Printing

This method is widely used as food-safe inks are used that effectively adhere to the surface of the paper without compromising the quality of food. Flexography can be used on multiple surface areas due to its flexible plates and can also work on a variety of coatings. 

Digital Printing

When a brand needs a short run of the paper then we use this method. It is an appropriate method for highly customized and intricate designs. This is an economical method for small orders due to no set-up cost.  

Screen Printing

Screen printing is used for simple yet bold designs such as logos where a limited color palette is required. It is cost effective for small batches and you can also prefer it when high color saturation is required. You can get the following colors of the paper and if you have a specific color requirement, you can also ask for that:

• Brown deli paper

• Black deli paper

• White deli paper

Certain methods are considered suitable for printing purposes such as:

Offset Printing

Offset printing is not recommended because its adhesion is poor on coated deli paper. For this printing method, you must choose the option that is specially designed for offset printing so that ink can be absorbed. 

Gravure Printing

In this printing method, high-quality ink is used to transfer it to the substrate. Therefore, over-inking on thin paper sheets may occur and the resulting design will be smudged and insufficiently detailed. 

Water-Based Or Vegetable-Based Inks

Water-based inks are non-toxic and fully meet FDA food contact regulations and adhere to lightly treated porous surfaces. Soy-based inks are a common example of vegetable-baked inks that are renewable and give excellent color vibrancy.

Flexographic Inks

Water-based flexographic inks are popular on custom deli paper sheets. These inks have excellent compatibility with the paper’s texture and are also safe for the environment. Their drying time is short and works excellently with food-safe coatings on the paper. 

Coatings For Additional Strength 

The feature that makes our deli sheets grease-proof is the coatings. Our paper is coated from both sides which makes it perfect for packaging extra cheesy products. Some of the common coatings that can be used on custom printed deli rolls are:

Add-Ons To Enhance Functionality 

Add-ons are one of the essential components of the custom food wrapping paper as they allow you to increase the functionality of the paper. You can get the two common add-on options from us, such as: 

• Textured Add-ons: They include embossing, debossing, and foil stamping that is used to highlight specific designs or text on the paper. 
• Perforation Lines: Makes tearing easier for portion control.

The Common Application of Custom Printed Deli Paper 

How To Texturally Identify Deli Paper

Due to the similarity of custom papers with each, it sometimes gets difficult to identify the difference. However tactile characteristics can help in identifying the difference. Some of the common tactile features of the paper are as follows: Uniform Single‑Layer Structure

Deli paper sheets and rolls have uniform and single-layer sheets that cannot be separated into different layers. The paper fiber is consistent throughout and has a steady feel. On the other hand, other specialty papers can be separated into distinct layers. 

Subtle Coating On One Side

In deli packaging paper you will see coating only on one side of the paper that provides moderate resistance to moisture and grease. The side treated with coatings is smooth and slightly less fibrous compared to the untreated side. The other side of the paper retains the natural texture of cellulose fiber. 

Delicate, Porous Texture

When you run the fingers on the untreated side of the paper you will feel a gently fibrous and porous surface. The porosity of the paper is essential for its function and allows airflow, the way butchers’ paper allows the smoke while making BBQs, to maintain food freshness while protecting it from contaminants.
