Where the smaller sheet fits
The 406 x 255mm format is the more compact choice for food liners and wraps where the portion does not need the extra coverage of a larger sheet. Its two paper options give buyers a choice between 60gsm natural greaseproof paper and 40gsm white natural greaseproof paper, while both options are described as biodegradable and compostable.
Picture a counter-service operation wrapping smaller menu items one at a time. Measure the finished food and the fold or overlap you need, then compare those dimensions with 406 x 255mm before ordering. The freezer, oven and microwave use claims also suit workflows that move food between chilled storage, heating and service, within the product's stated use conditions.
Where the larger sheet fits
The 500 x 335mm format is intended for larger offerings such as pizzas and full meals. Its larger surface can also work as a table place mat for cutlery or direct eating. That makes it a practical fit for buyers who need the sheet to cover more of a tray, table setting or meal presentation.
The same 60gsm natural and 40gsm white paper choices are available, and both are described as biodegradable and compostable. The larger format also has freezer, oven and microwave use claims. For a food-service team, that means the size decision can stay separate from the paper-choice decision: choose the coverage first, then select the natural or white option.
Printing and approval workflow
Both formats support custom printed branding. Buyers can send a logo for design support or provide their own artwork after purchase. A free PDF proof is supplied for approval before print production, giving the team a defined point to check the logo, layout and readable details.
For a broader look at custom printed greaseproof sheets, compare the intended food format, paper option and artwork requirements before requesting a quote.
Which size should you choose?
Choose the 406 x 255mm sheet when the priority is a smaller liner or wrap with less unused paper around the food. Choose the 500 x 335mm sheet when the sheet must accommodate larger offerings, full meals or a place-setting layout.
Before placing an order, send the supplier the food dimensions, the required fold or overlap, the preferred 60gsm natural or 40gsm white paper, the print artwork and the expected quantity. That gives the quotation team the details needed to match the sheet size to the service routine.
