Custom Wax Paper: The Wrap That Keeps Moisture Out and Your Brand Right in Front of Every Customer.
Every order your kitchen sends out is a brand opportunity. A plain white wax paper wrap throws that opportunity away. A custom-printed sheet from Print On Papers puts your logo, your colors, and your identity directly in your customer’s hands on every sandwich, every deli item, every baked good, every shift. That’s not packaging. That’s marketing that pays for itself per wrap.

FDA-Compliant Custom Wax Paper for Food Businesses That Wrap at Volume
Wax paper starts as bleached or unbleached kraft paper derived from virgin wood pulp. A thin layer of food-grade wax, paraffin, soy-based, or beeswax is applied through a calendering process, bonding the coating evenly across the surface and creating a moisture-resistant, non-stick barrier that keeps food fresh and contained from kitchen to customer.
At Print On Papers, every sheet is FDA-compliant under 21 CFR standards for direct food contact and FSC-certified from responsibly sourced materials. Printing is applied to the non-food-contact side using soy-based or water-based inks, non-toxic, food-safe, and smudge-resistant under daily handling. Your brand stays visible and sharp whether the sheet wraps a burger at a QSR counter or carries a pastry out of a café.
One essential technical note: wax paper is microwave safe for short-duration reheating. It is not oven safe, and wax coatings begin to melt under sustained high heat. For oven applications, parchment paper is the correct product choice.
What Makes Wax Paper the Right Wrap for Moisture-Heavy Food Applications
- Moisture Barrier That Keeps Food Intact Through Service. The wax coating creates a continuous surface barrier that stops moisture and oils from penetrating the sheet. Sandwiches, deli items, cheeses, and baked goods stay fresh and visually presentable from wrap to opening, no soggy paper, no leaking through to the customer’s hands.
- Three Wax Coating Options for Different Performance and Sustainability Needs. Paraffin wax is the most widely used, affordable, reliable, and moisture-resistant. Soy-based wax delivers the same barrier performance with biodegradable, compostable end-of-life credentials for brands with sustainability commitments. Beeswax is the premium natural choice, compostable and subtly aromatic, well-suited to artisan and specialty food businesses.
- Brand Printing That Stays on the Non-Food Side Logos, patterns, and brand graphics print via Flexographic or Digital methods with CMYK or Pantone-matched accuracy. Because printing goes on the non-food-contact side of the sheet, ink never touches the product. Brand visibility without any food safety trade-off.
- Single or Double-Sided Coating to Match Your Application. Single-sided coating is standard for wrapping one waxed surface, one printable surface. Double-sided coating applies wax to both sides for higher moisture resistance, suited to cheese interleaving, raw food storage, and high-moisture applications.
