Custom Sandwich Paper: The Wrap Your Sandwiches Leave In and the Brand Your Customers Remember
Think about the last time a food experience genuinely impressed you before you even tasted anything. Chances are the packaging had something to do with it. The way it felt in your hand. Whether it looked intentional or thrown together. Whether the brand on the outside made you trust what was inside.
Your customers are making that same judgment every single time a sandwich leaves your counter.
Plain paper wrapping says nothing about your deli, your café, your sub shop, or your food truck. A grease-stained, unbranded sheet says even less. Custom sandwich paper from Print On Papers is where food safety performance and branded presentation meet on the same sheet, because in a market where customers photograph their food, share it, and remember the brands that looked like they cared, your wrapping is not a supply cost. It is a marketing decision.
Why the Coating on Your Sandwich Paper Matters More Than You Think
Here is the part most food businesses get wrong. They order the first food paper they find, it fails within two minutes for a saucy meatball sub or a hot-pressed panini, and they assume paper just cannot do the job. The issue is not paper. It is the wrong coating for the sandwich.
Custom printed sandwich wrap paper is not a single product. The coating on the food-contact side is what determines whether the wrap holds or falls apart at the handoff — and matching that coating to your sandwich type is the decision that separates a wrap that works from one that soaks through, sticks, or tears.
Coating Specifications for Every Menu Application
At Print On Papers, we offer four coating options across our custom deli sandwich paper range, so you are always working with the right specification for your menu, not a compromise that sort of handles most of it.
- Greaseproof coating builds oil resistance directly into the fibre structure through supercalendering, without chemical treatment, completely PFAS-free. This is the right choice for cold sandwiches, wraps, and lighter deli items where grease load is moderate and a clean, matte surface is the presentation you want.
- Wax coating in paraffin or soy-based wax adds a moisture and grease barrier with a non-stick surface that lets bread and fillings release cleanly on unwrapping. No tearing. No filling sticking to the sheet. No wasted half-wrap left on the counter. Soy-based wax variants are compostable and biodegradable for food brands that want sustainable packaging without giving up performance.
- PE coating delivers the strongest moisture and grease barrier across the range. For hot-pressed sandwiches, saucy subs, meatball, Philly cheesesteak, BBQ chicken, and any build where filling moisture would saturate a lighter coating inside two minutes, PE is the right call. Microwave safe and built to hold through takeaway transit and delivery.
- Silicone coating is engineered specifically for hot panini, pressed ciabatta, and toasted wrap applications where the paper may come into direct contact with heat from a press or plate. It offers the cleanest release performance of all four options and handles high-heat applications without sticking or tearing.
FDA-Compliant, PFAS-Free Sandwich Wrapping Paper Built for US Food Businesses
Every sheet we produce at Print On Papers is manufactured from bleached kraft for a clean white finish or unbleached kraft for a natural brown look. Both base materials are FSC-certified from sustainably sourced supply chains and FDA-compliant under 21 CFR 176.170 for direct food contact.
Greaseproof and wax variants are completely PFAS-free and manufactured without the fluorochemical coatings being phased out across the US food-contact paper industry. Soy-based and water-based food-safe inks carry your logo and brand design across every sheet using flexographic printing for high-volume consistency, digital printing for shorter runs and seasonal designs, and offset for premium fine-art designs where every detail counts.
Your brand stays sharp. Your wrap stays clean. Your customer gets a sandwich that looks exactly the way it should.

The Food Operations That Order From Print On Papers
Artisan delis wrap specialty subs and deli builds for counter and takeaway service, where the presentation needs to match the quality of the food. Café chains standardize branded wrapping across multiple sites so every location looks intentional. Sub and sandwich shops running high covers per shift, where consistency and speed matter equally. Food trucks, where the paper is sometimes the only brand touchpoint between the kitchen and the customer’s hands. Ghost kitchens and meal prep brands need compliant, branded wrapping for delivery orders that need to hold together until they arrive.
Small independent operations. Growing regional chains. Home-based food businesses that want professional-grade branded packaging without a minimum order do not make sense for their volume.
