Custom Sandwich Wrap Paper

Good packaging does three things: it fits, it protects and it tells the customer who made the product. Our custom sandwich wrap paper are built around those three jobs. Sizes are set from your product’s measurements, the material is matched to its weight and how it will be sold, and the print carries your branding on every panel you want to use. Here is what you can choose from.

Who uses custom sandwich wrap paper

Custom Sandwich Wrap Paper is used mainly by restaurants, bakeries, cafes and packaged food brands. Some customers need a few hundred units for a market stall or a product test, others need regular production runs for retail and wholesale accounts. In both cases the questions are the same. What is the product’s size and weight? Will it sit on a shelf, go in a shipping carton or be handed over a counter? Does it need to be seen through a window, kept away from light or held still by an insert? Your answers decide the specification, and we are happy to suggest one if you are unsure.

Materials

The material sets the strength, the feel and the print quality of the finished sheet. These are the options we use most for custom sandwich wrap paper.

• Greaseproof paper. A dense paper that resists oil without a wax layer. It is the usual choice for burgers, fries and pastries.
• Wax-coated paper. A moisture-resistant sheet for cold sandwiches, cheese and deli items.
• Parchment (silicone-coated) paper. Heat-resistant and non-stick, suitable for baking and hot food.
• Kraft or butcher paper. A strong uncoated sheet for dry goods, wrapping and basket lining.

Styles and structure

The format you pick affects how the sheets are applied and how they look on the product. Common options for custom sandwich wrap paper include flat sheets, rolls, pre-folded wraps, printed bands, glued sleeves and open-ended sleeves. Rolls suit machine or dispenser application and larger quantities, sheets are convenient for hand application, and custom die-cut shapes follow the outline of your artwork. Tell us how you apply them and what surface they go on, and we will recommend a format.

Printing and finishes

We print in full-color CMYK and can add Pantone spot inks when a brand color has to match exactly. Printing can cover the outside only or both sides. After printing, a coating protects the surface: gloss makes color brighter, matte removes glare, and soft-touch gives a velvet feel. Extra finishes include foil stamping in gold, silver or other metallics, embossing and debossing, and spot UV, which adds gloss to selected areas such as a logo. Each finish adds cost and some production time, so most brands choose one feature and use it well.

Sizes

There is no fixed size list for custom sandwich wrap paper; every order is cut to the dimensions you supply. The table shows common starting points so you can see what is typical. Use it as a reference, then measure your own product, because containers and products with the same stated capacity often differ by several millimetres.

What to check before you order

Anything that touches food directly should be made from food-safe board, inks and coatings. Tell us whether the food is hot, cold, greasy or frozen, because that decides the coating and board. Packaged foods sold at retail also need room for a nutrition panel, ingredients, allergens and net weight.

Custom packaging is worth the effort because small details add up. A pack that fits closely needs less filler and costs less to ship. A panel that states clearly what the product is reduces questions and returns. A consistent look across your range makes each product easier to find the next time a customer shops. None of this requires an expensive specification, only one that has been thought through.

Artwork

For the best print result, supply artwork as a vector PDF, AI or EPS file with fonts outlined and images at 300 dpi or higher. Add 0.125 in of bleed beyond every cut line and keep text at least 0.125 in inside it, so that small movements during cutting do not leave white edges or trim your text. If you do not have a dieline, we will send one in the correct size for your designer to work on.

How ordering works

Ordering is straightforward. Send us the size, quantity, material and any finishes you want, along with your artwork if it is ready. We reply with a quote. Once you approve it, we prepare a dieline, which is the flat template of your sheet, and place your artwork on it. You receive a digital proof showing every panel, fold and cut. Nothing is printed until you approve that proof, so check spelling, colors, barcodes and required text carefully. Unit price depends mostly on quantity, size, material and finishes, and it falls as quantity rises because setup costs are shared across more pieces. Minimum quantities and production time vary with the specification, so ask about both when you request your quote.
