Are you in the hospitality or food industry?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If so, you might want to consider using wax paper, also known as greaseproof paper, for food packaging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is wax paper?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Wax paper<\/span><\/a> is a specialized type of paper that typically features a coating resistant to fats & oils. Its primary raw material is cellulose, derived from wood pulp. This coating serves a crucial purpose \u2013 it effectively prevents oil and grease from permeating the paper’s surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This makes wax paper an ideal choice for packaging foods rich in fats or oils, such as fried food. Not only that but it can also be used as a lining for food baskets when baking items like cakes or pastries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wax paper can also be useful when it comes to handling customers’ to-go orders. They make sure that oily foods do not come into contact with custom sandwich bags or custom takeout bags \u2013 SUPER helpful in preventing sogginess.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatives to wax paper<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Aluminium foil<\/span><\/h3>\n

Aluminium foil comprises thin sheets of aluminum laminated to paper or plastic. It is widely accessible and cost-effective. Aluminium foil is great for wrapping sandwiches as it is entirely resistant to oil and grease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it is worth considering that aluminum foil is not environmentally friendly, as it is primarily designed for single-use and can be challenging to recycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Plastic wrap<\/span><\/h3>\n

Comprising a thin layer of single-use plastic laminated to paper or foil, plastic wrap is available in rolls and is sometimes referred to as cling film.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Given the increasing bans on plastic usage in many countries, the future does not bode well for businesses relying on single-use plastic food packaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is wax paper more sustainable?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Wax paper is a food-safe paper coated with a thin layer of wax, which imparts non-stick properties to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Typically crafted from recycled paper treated with paraffin wax or beeswax, wax paper is both practical and eco-friendly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is biodegradable and compostable, making it an environmentally responsible choice for food packaging. Customers are increasingly looking for sustainable options, and using wax paper can help you meet their increasingly conscious demands.<\/span><\/p>\n
