Butter paper is greaseproof paper sold on a roll, used to wrap sandwiches, line trays and separate layers of baked goods. The Best Price Boxes makes custom butter paper rolls with your logo, with no minimum order, and we beat a written quote for the same specs.
What butter paper does well
Greaseproof paper resists oil, so a buttery pastry or a burger does not leave a dark stain on whatever it sits on. It is thin, flexible and cheap to use in volume, which is why bakeries and delis go through it by the roll. It handles the daily jobs well: wrapping a sandwich, lining a basket, interleaving cookies so they do not stick together, and covering a tray. It is not waterproof, and a very wet item will eventually soak through, so do not treat it as a barrier for soups or sauces.
Greaseproof, butter paper and baking parchment
These names get mixed up. Butter paper and greaseproof paper are generally the same family: uncoated or lightly treated paper that resists grease. Baking parchment is a different product, usually silicone coated for oven use. If you plan to bake on your paper, say so, because a wrap-grade sheet is not intended to be a baking surface. We can discuss what grade suits your use, and you should confirm oven and food-contact suitability with your own adviser.
Choosing width and roll length
Roll width comes from what you wrap. Measure the widest item and add enough paper to fold over, then decide whether the roll sits on a dispenser, a counter or a shelf. Dispensers set the maximum width and core size, so check yours before ordering. Roll length is a handling question: long rolls cut down on changeovers but get heavy on a wall dispenser. Tell us the width, the length and the core you need, and we confirm what can be made.
Printing your logo
A printed roll turns a plain wrap into branding that every customer sees. Logos, a single colour or a simple repeat pattern work best, since thin paper suits bold artwork more than fine detail. Keep artwork away from where food will sit if you can, or place it on the outer face. Food-contact rules for inks and papers are the buyer’s responsibility, so confirm with your own regulatory adviser. We print the artwork you supply.

A practical point on storage: paper rolls take up moisture from a humid kitchen, and a damp roll tears at the dispenser and can warp. Keep spare rolls in their wrapping on a dry shelf, away from the dishwasher and the fryer, and order in step with how fast you use them. A small kitchen that goes through a roll a week should not stockpile a year of paper.
When a box or bag is the better call
Paper alone does not protect food in transit. For a delivered order, pair the wrap with a box, such as our takeout food boxes or fast food boxes, or a bag from the custom paper bags range. For trays and platters, see our food tray packaging boxes.
Note that butter paper is a roll product rather than a box, so it is sized by width and length rather than by dieline. Send the width, the roll length, the quantity of rolls, even if it is one, and your logo, and we quote it. With no minimum order, a small kitchen can start with a single printed roll.
Frequently asked questions
What is butter paper?
Butter paper is greaseproof paper supplied on a roll. It resists oil and grease, so food does not leave stains or stick. Bakeries, delis and kitchens use it to wrap sandwiches, line trays and baskets, and separate layers of baked goods.
Do you have a minimum order for butter paper rolls?
No. There is no minimum order, so a small kitchen can order a single roll and a large operation can order in bulk. Send the width, length, quantity of rolls and your logo, and we quote it. The price-beat guarantee applies when you hold a written quote for the same specs.
Is butter paper the same as baking parchment?
They are related but not the same. Butter paper is greaseproof wrap-style paper, while baking parchment is usually silicone coated for oven use. If you plan to bake on it, tell us, and confirm oven and food-contact suitability with your own adviser.
Can I print my logo on butter paper?
Yes. Logos, single-colour artwork and simple repeat patterns work best on thin paper. Bold designs reproduce more cleanly than fine detail. Confirm food-contact rules for inks with your own regulatory adviser, and we print the artwork you supply.
What roll width and length should I order?
Measure the widest item you wrap and add enough to fold over. Check your dispenser for its maximum width and core size, because it limits what fits. Longer rolls reduce changeovers but are heavier on a wall dispenser. Send the details and we confirm what can be made.
Is butter paper waterproof?
No. It resists grease and light moisture, but a very wet item will eventually soak through. It is a wrap and a liner, not a barrier for soups or sauces. For delivery orders, pair it with a box or bag that gives proper protection.
