Getting the Most from Printed Greaseproof Paper
Printed greaseproof paper works best when the design is tailored to the paper's natural characteristics. Unlike white card or plastic, greaseproof paper has a slightly translucent quality and a matte surface — inks sit on the surface rather than absorbing deeply, which gives a clean, crisp print result. For single-colour logo printing, the effect is bold and immediate. For full-colour prints, the result is more nuanced — slightly more muted than card printing but with its own distinctive character that many food brands actively prefer. Our print team works with your artwork to optimise it for the greaseproof substrate, advising on ink coverage and colour selection for best results.
- Single-colour prints give bold, crisp logo results on greaseproof
- Full-colour CMYK printing for complex designs and photography
- Pantone matching for precise brand colour accuracy
- Free digital proof before any production run begins
- Print-ready files or design assistance both available
- Consistent print registration across every sheet in a run

Printed Greaseproof Paper Across UK Food Sectors
Printed greaseproof paper is used by food businesses across the UK, from independent fish and chip shops to national restaurant chains. Fish and chip shops are among the most traditional users — printed greaseproof paper immediately communicates a shop's identity at the point of serving. Burger bars and sandwich shops use it as an alternative to wax paper for a more natural-looking branded option. Bakeries print greaseproof sheets with their logo for use as display paper and service sheets. Delis use printed greaseproof paper as counter sheets and basket liners. Anywhere food is served or displayed, printed greaseproof paper makes your brand visible.
