About Food Wraps

Food wraps have an important and vital role to play in today’s time, where packaged food has become in demand. They are a must-have for any foodservice industry. Consumers are looking for sustainable and elegant looking food packaging, to enhance their food freshness, presentation, while highlighting their brand image. From packaging food to serving up sandwiches, donuts, breads and other baked goods, these resistant products are guaranteed to delivering a quality product. It is hence imperative to know which type of food wrapping paper to use for your application.

Based on the foods type, the wraps are classified into various categories.

Wax Wraps

Paper that has been coated with a food-safe paraffin wax, to create a non-stick surface that resists moisture. It is malleable and holds its shape better, which makes it ideal for wrapping and storing foods like cheeses and sandwiches. The wrap also comes in unbleached kind, which has a natural brown color that can make for a nice presentation lining a platter or tray. Wax paper is considerably economical in comparison to parchment paper. Wax paper is not recommended for ovens as it is not heat-resistant. It can cause smoke and variation in taste, when used inside the oven. Greaseproof Wraps – Greaseproof paper is translucent and hydrated to give oil and grease resistance. This can be used for wrapping foods for storage, especially greasy food like butter or doughnuts. This can also be used as a separator layer for pancakes, cookies or other baked products for storage.

Baking Paper or Parchment Paper

 Parchment paper is coated with silicone and safe food grade paper. The silicone creates a heat resistant paper, making it perfect for both cooking and baking, as well as for holding hot foods. The surface of the paper is non-stick and highly heat-resistant and can be used in temperatures up to 220ºC.

Foil Laminated Paper Wraps

These wraps are tissue paper with a foil-laminated layer on one side, providing excellent grease resistance and heat retention. Ideal for burgers and kebabs. Foil Lamination Bags are leak-proof packaging that prevents water, moisture, air, and light from entering the product. PE films with many layers protect the contents of the bags from extremes in temperature and weather.
