Custom Sandwich Wrap Paper

Custom sandwich wrap paper is a grease-resistant foodservice sheet built to hold a handheld build together, keep it hot, and carry your brand from the counter to the customer's hands. It is the workhorse behind grab-and-go sandwiches, burgers, wraps, gyros, tacos, and breakfast items at food trucks, QSRs, delis, and cafes. Unlike a light counter liner, a true wrap has to survive folding, tucking, and a warm interior without soaking through or falling open. We print it in full CMYK and Pantone with food-grade, low-migration inks, so the same sheet that protects the food doubles as the packaging your customers photograph. Pair it with our custom food and beverage boxes for a complete branded takeout program.

What sandwich wrap paper does

A sandwich wrap has three jobs at once: it keeps the build from coming apart while a customer eats one-handed, it slows grease and moisture from reaching their fingers, and it holds warmth in during the trip from your counter to the car or park bench. That is a taller order than a simple counter tissue. The sheet needs enough wet-strength and coating to resist oil soak-through, enough size to fully envelop the item with a clean fold, and, for hot builds, a barrier that traps heat rather than venting it. Get those right and the wrap disappears into the experience; get them wrong and the food arrives cold, greasy on the outside, or split open.

Materials and specs: single sheet vs. foil-lined

We offer three core constructions so you can match the paper to the food. Dry-wax wrap is a lightweight sheet with a fine wax dispersion that gives everyday grease resistance and a soft fold – a strong default for cold and warm sandwiches, deli builds, and wraps. Greaseproof wrap uses a denser, calendered fiber for higher oil resistance when the build runs wetter or oilier, such as fried fillings and heavy sauces. Foil-lined (insulated) wrap laminates aluminum foil to paper so the sheet reflects and holds heat – this is the option for hot burgers, breakfast sandwiches, gyros, and anything that has to stay warm through a delivery window.

Single sheets typically land in a 30–40 gsm range for the paper component, while the foil laminate is a thicker two-ply that trades some flexibility for insulation and durability. All constructions use food-grade paper and, when printed, low-migration inks suitable for direct food contact. If you are weighing pure oil resistance against heat retention, our team will spec the right stock from a photo of your build.

Why the right wrap protects your margin

Every wrap that fails is a remake, a refund, or a customer who does not come back. A sheet that soaks through in five minutes reads as cheap food even when the food is excellent, and a hot sandwich that arrives lukewarm gets blamed on the kitchen, not the packaging. Choosing a grease-resistant construction and, for hot items, a foil-lined sheet, protects the eating experience you worked to build. It also protects your brand impression: on a delivery order, the wrap is often the only branded surface the customer touches.

Printing and branding that travels

The wrap is prime advertising real estate. We print edge-to-edge full-bleed patterns, repeating logos, taglines, and single hero marks in full CMYK and spot Pantone (PMS) for exact brand color. Because the sheet ends up on tables, in delivery bags, and increasingly on social feeds, a clean branded wrap earns impressions long after the sale. Free design support and a digital proof come standard, so you see the artwork on the real sheet dimensions before anything runs. There are no die, plate, or setup fees, which keeps custom printing accessible even at a first order.

Wrap grade and size comparison

Standard sandwich wrap sizes

All grades are food-contact-safe under FDA 21 CFR 176.170. PFAS-free options meet California AB 1200 and other 2024 state bans on intentionally added PFAS in food packaging.

Sandwich wrap vs. deli and greaseproof sheets

These papers are cousins, and picking the right one matters. A deli paper sheet is a lighter counter liner – great for basket liners, quick counter service, and cold items, but not built to fully enclose a hot burger. A greaseproof paper sheet is the choice when maximum oil resistance is the priority. Sandwich wrap sits in between as the full-enclosure format, and the foil-lined version is the hot-food upgrade when heat retention matters most. For a deeper comparison across the category, our guide to food wrapping papers breaks down when to reach for each.

Who uses custom sandwich wrap

Food trucks and QSR chains lean on foil-lined wrap to keep burgers and breakfast sandwiches hot through a service rush. Delis and cafes use dry-wax and greaseproof squares for made-to-order subs, paninis, and wraps. Ghost kitchens and delivery-first brands rely on the wrap as their branded touchpoint since there is no storefront. Caterers and stadium concessions use pre-portioned wrapped builds to speed the line. Across all of them, the wrap is doing double duty as protection and marketing.

Minimums, turnaround, and pricing

We manufacture in the USA with a low 100-unit minimum, so you can test a design or seasonal run without committing to a pallet. Standard turnaround is 8–10 business days after proof approval, and US shipping is free. Because there are no die, plate, or setup charges, your quote reflects stock, size, and print coverage rather than tooling. Tell us the build, the format (squares or rolls), and whether you need the foil-lined insulated option, and we will quote it precisely. Start with a free custom quote.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between sandwich wrap paper and tissue or gift paper?

Sandwich wrap is a food-grade, grease-resistant sheet engineered to enclose and protect hot handheld food. Tissue and gift wrapping papers are decorative, non-barrier stocks with no grease resistance and are not intended for direct food contact. Never substitute a gift or craft tissue for a foodservice wrap.

Which option keeps hot food warm the longest?

The foil-lined (insulated) laminate. Laminating aluminum foil to paper reflects and traps heat, so it holds warmth far longer than a single dry-wax or greaseproof sheet. It is the recommended upgrade for burgers, breakfast sandwiches, gyros, and any build that has to survive a delivery window.

Will the wrap resist grease soak-through?

Yes. All three constructions – dry-wax, greaseproof, and foil-lined – are grease-resistant. For oily or saucy builds we recommend greaseproof or foil-lined stock for the highest resistance. Send us a description of your fillings and we will match the right barrier.

Should I choose pre-cut squares or rolls?

Pre-cut squares (commonly 12x12, 14x14, or 15x16 in) are easiest for made-to-order counter and truck service. Rolls suit high-volume lines and automated wrapping equipment. Both come in the same stocks, so pick the format that fits your workflow.

Can I print my logo and full-bleed artwork on the wrap?

Yes. We print edge-to-edge patterns, logos, and text in full CMYK plus Pantone spot colors using food-grade, low-migration inks. Free design and a digital proof are included, and there are no die or plate fees.

Are the inks and paper safe for direct food contact?

Yes. We use food-grade paper and low-migration inks suitable for direct contact with sandwiches, burgers, and wraps. Let us know your specific build so we can confirm the right stock and ink system.

What are the minimum order and turnaround?

The minimum is 100 units, with no die, plate, or setup fees. Standard turnaround is 8–10 business days after you approve the digital proof, and US shipping is free.
