Choosing Custom Butcher Paper: Application Fit and Specification Checks

Start with your buying constraints

Before you compare options, write down:

1. What you will wrap. Raw red meat, cooked deli meats, cheese, raw fish or greasy bakery items such as doughnuts and pastries.
2. Sheet size. Whether a standard size works for your portions, or whether you need a custom size.
3. Paper grade and look. Whether you want a high opacity white printed surface, or another basis weight or colour.
4. Artwork readiness. Whether you already have print-ready artwork or need design help.
5. Deadline. The date the printed paper has to arrive.
6. Sustainability and compliance needs. Which claims or documents your market or customers expect.

Selection criteria compared

When the 60gsm butcher paper fits

The 60gsm custom butcher paper is the more direct choice when:

• your main use is wrapping raw or cooked meats, cheese or fish at a butcher counter or deli;
• one of the two standard sizes suits your portions;
• you want your logo printed on a high opacity white surface.

When it may not apply

This recommendation may not fit if:

• you need a size other than 250mm x 375mm or 350mm x 450mm. Custom Printed Wax Paper Sheets are offered in custom sheet sizes.
• you want a brown kraft look, a lighter tissue or a different basis weight. The wax paper sheets list several paper grades.
• your deadline is shorter than the stated standard lead time. Raise it with the supplier before you approve artwork.

Checks before you order

• Confirm the sheet size and quantity.
• Check the PDF proof carefully before approving it for print.
• Ask for written confirmation of lead time, pricing and minimum quantity.
• Request documents that support the eco friendly, biodegradable and recyclable claims, and any food-contact compliance needed in your target market.
• Test sample wraps on your own products if moisture or grease performance is critical to you.
