Description

Custom butcher paper is a common wrap used in the food industry and several other sectors, such as arts and crafts, product packaging, etc. Its versatile and practical nature makes it a ubiquitous item in the food service sector.
Apart from its use of protective packaging paper, printed and customized butcher sheets are used to present and decorate different items. If a brand uses customized butcher paper with logo, then it can easily uniquely promote itself.
This custom paper is available in multiple subtypes and can be used for various purposes. At our company, we manufacture customized butcher paper with food-grade and sustainable packaging material so you can easily get the attention of a wide range of audiences.
What Is Butcher Paper Made Of?
Butcher paper is primarily made of kraft paper, which is derived from soft and hardwood fibers. The Kraft process is used to give the paper durability, where the wood is broken down into cellulose fibers. In this process, a combination of chemicals is used, such as sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide, to dissolve the fibers.
The resulting pulp is then pressed into the rolls and sheets of various sizes. The unbleached nature of kraft retains its strength and durability. Not only this, but the resulting tan-colored paper has excellent breathability. Due to this breathability, it does not absorb moisture and is an ideal choice for wrapping fresh meat.
Types Of Butcher Paper And Their Applications
In our custom butcher paper wholesale manufacturing services, you can find different types, each having its unique use. The classification of the different types of paper depends upon the treatment, color, and coatings. Some of the common types of this custom food wrapping paper are as follows:
Pink Butcher Paper
Pink butcher paper is extensively used in BBQ making and is favored by pitmasters for wrapping meats during smoking. The paper has an excellent ability to retain moisture while allowing the air to circulate through it. This feature of the pink paper makes it an excellent option for the creation of a flavorful bark on the exterior of meat. The pink color is due to dyeing so that the paper can be distinguished from the other types of butcher sheets. Its common applications are as follows:

BBQ Smoking.
Meat Wrapping

This paper has the same qualities as that of the brown option of butcher paper, but it has undergone a bleaching process to remove the natural brown color. This type is commonly used in food service and retail markets due to its aesthetic appearance. The common applications of custom white butcher paper are as follows:

Butcher paper coated with wax can be used as an alternative to wax paper. This is because it is applied with a thin layer of wax that makes it grease and moisture-resistant. This paper is used mainly to wrap food items where oil and liquid retention is important either to retain the taste or to maintain cleanliness. This paper is used for the following purposes:

Food Packaging

Industrial Use

Printing Methods For Butcher Paper
For custom printed butcher paper a huge variety of options are available. The selection of printing processes depends upon the type of coatings applied on the paper and the extent of printing a brand is looking for. The common printing methods that we use are as follows:
Flexographic Printing
Flexographic printing uses flexible plates made of rubber or photopolymer to transfer inks onto the paper. This is an excellent option for high-volume printing on porous surfaces such as customized butcher paper rolls and sheets. You can easily get your logs, branding elements, and other repetitive designs.
Offset Printing
In this method, ink is transferred from a metal plate to the rubber blanket and then onto the surface of the substrate. Offset printing gives a precise and high-quality image, so brands that are looking for professional-looking packaging paper can go with this option.
Digital Printing
Digital printing is a well-suited option for short runs and customized designs for businesses that are looking for unique patterns and photographs directly into the paper. In this method, digital files are printed onto the paper using inkjet and laser printers.
Coatings
If you want to increase the functional properties of your butcher paper sheets, such as resistance to water, heat, and grease, then the application of coatings is a must. Coatings impart specific properties to the paper, as the application of silicon coatings gives parchment paper, which is highly resistant to heat. Similarly, the application of wax gives wax paper that is moisture resistant, and so on. However, to retain the primary function of butcher paper, we do not recommend you choose coatings as they may reduce the breathability and heat resistance of the paper.
Heat Resistance
The heat resistance of paper depends on various factors, such as the manufacturing process and the coatings. Generally, butcher paper rolls can withstand a temperature of up to 450?F. Pink custom butcher paper is highly resistant to heat so it can be used in the oven, microwave, and air fryer. If you are using wax-coated paper, then avoid using it under high temperatures.
Apart from this, while using custom-printed butcher paper sheets in air fryers, you must ensure that they do not obstruct the airflow or touch the heating element. Never use butcher paper on stoves, as it will catch fire.
