THE BUYER'S GUIDE / SELECTION
Choosing Custom Printed Greaseproof Sheets. Size: 500 x 335mm: Application Fit and Specification Checks
A buyer-focused guide to Custom Printed Greaseproof Sheets. Size: 500 x 335mm from BULKBUY PACKAGING: what the listing says the sheet is for, the two paper options (60gsm kraft and 40gsm white), the stated freezer, oven and microwave use, how artwork proofing works, and when a smaller listed sheet size may fit better. Price, lead time and certifications are not covered because no confirmed material was provided for them.
Application fit: the 500 x 335mm sheet is described for larger items such as pizzas and full meals, table placemats, and eating directly from the sheet
Paper option: 60gsm natural kraft greaseproof paper or 40gsm natural white greaseproof paper
Stated use conditions: described as freezer proof, oven proof and microwave proof; no temperature or time limits supplied
Environmental claims: described as biodegradable and compostable; no certification documents supplied, so buyers should verify against local requirements
Artwork workflow: logo-based design service (allow extra time) or customer-supplied artwork, with a free PDF proof before production
Size alternatives: 420 x 297mm, 406 x 255mm, 335 x 335mm, 335 x 250mm and 297 x 210mm are also listed with the same paper options
Sheet size is one of the first decisions when you order branded food paper. It affects how much of your design shows, what food the sheet can hold and whether it works as a liner, a wrap or a placemat. This guide looks at Custom Printed Greaseproof Sheets. Size: 500 x 335mm from BULKBUY PACKAGING. It covers the checks to make before you order and the cases where another listed size may suit you better.
Everything below comes from BULKBUY PACKAGING's published product descriptions. This guide does not cover prices, lead times, minimum order quantities or certifications, because no confirmed material was available for them. Confirm these directly when you request a quote.
1. Start with the application
The product description calls the 500 x 335mm sheet (50cm x 33.5cm) a size for "showcasing your brand and food at the same time." It lists these uses:
- serving larger items, such as pizzas and full meals
- table placemats for laying cutlery on
- a surface customers can eat from directly
If you serve large portions or want the paper to cover a tray or table space, this is the size the listing describes for that job. If you mainly wrap single items, line small baskets or need chip liners, the larger sheet may be more paper than you need. See the size comparison below.
2. Choose the paper type
BULKBUY PACKAGING lists two paper options for printed greaseproof sheets:
| Option | Weight | Colour/finish (as described) |
|---|---|---|
| Kraft sheet | 60gsm | Natural greaseproof paper, kraft (brown) |
| White sheet | 40gsm | Natural greaseproof paper, white |
The source does not compare how the two papers perform. When choosing, think about:
- Brand look: a kraft background or a white background will change how your print colours and logo appear.
- Paper weight: the kraft option is listed at 60gsm and the white at 40gsm. If weight or handling matters for your menu, ask for samples. No material confirms whether samples are available.
3. Check the stated use conditions
The product description says both paper options are:
- freezer proof
- oven proof
- microwave proof
The listing gives no temperature limits, time limits or test data. If your kitchen will freeze, bake or reheat food on these sheets, ask the supplier for written use limits that match your process before you order in volume.
4. Review environmental claims against your market's rules
The listing describes both printed greaseproof papers as biodegradable and compostable. No certification documents or standards were supplied with this material. Buyers in the United States, Europe, the Middle East or Southeast Asia who need to make compostability claims on their own packaging or menus should ask for the supporting documents their local rules require. Do not assume a certification has been confirmed.
5. Plan your artwork and proof approval
The artwork process in the listing works like this:
- If you don't have print-ready artwork, send your logo. BULKBUY PACKAGING's designers will create the artwork and email it to you for review. The listing says to allow a little extra time for this.
- If you already have artwork, you can email it after you buy.
- A free PDF proof is sent for your approval before print production starts.
Build the proof review into your schedule, especially if you need the design service.
6. Understand how ordering works
The listing describes two ways to order: choose the sheet size, quantity and printing options online to see a price and add it to your basket, or ask for a quote. Prices aren't in this guide. Use the configurator or a quote for current figures, and confirm delivery timing at the same time.
How 500 x 335mm compares with other listed sizes
BULKBUY PACKAGING lists several sizes of custom printed greaseproof sheets. All of them use the same two paper options (60gsm kraft and 40gsm white).
| Listed size | Uses mentioned in the product description |
|---|---|
| 500 x 335mm | Larger items such as pizzas and full meals, table placemats, eating directly from the sheet |
| 420 x 297mm | Placemat for table setup or serving food directly; the listing suggests cutting it in half for takeaway, so one size covers eat-in and takeout |
| 406 x 255mm | No specific applications listed |
| 335 x 335mm | No specific applications listed |
| 335 x 250mm | Listed as "Express"; the description mentions pizzas, full meals and placemat use |
| 297 x 210mm | Menus, placemats, food liners, street food wraps, chip liners; pubs, cafes, restaurants, farm shops, butchers |
The 420 x 297mm listing is the only one that also calls its paper recyclable. Neither the 500 x 335mm listing nor the others make that claim. The "Express" label on the 335 x 250mm listing is not explained, so don't read it as a delivery promise.
When the 500 x 335mm sheet may not fit
- Small portions or single-item wraps: the 297 x 210mm listing names wraps, liners and chip liners directly.
- One size for eat-in and takeaway: the 420 x 297mm listing suggests cutting the sheet in half for takeaway. The 500 x 335mm listing does not make this suggestion.
- Certified compostable claims or documented heat limits: the current material does not support these. Ask for documents first.
- Fixed budgets or deadlines: confirm price and timing through the configurator or a quote. This guide makes no commitments on either.
Buyer checklist
- Confirm your main use: large meals or pizza, placemats, or eating directly from the sheet.
- Choose 60gsm kraft or 40gsm white based on the look you want.
- Confirm freezer, oven or microwave use limits for your process in writing.
- Ask for any compliance or compostability documents your market requires.
- Get your artwork or logo ready and allow time for PDF proof approval.
- Confirm quantity, price and delivery through the online configurator or a quote.
