How to get your brand onto your food packaging
Whether you’re bagging a burrito to go, rolling a wrap in custom-printed greaseproof paper, lining large catering trays, or branding cake boxes, Sydney Packaging has everything you need. Ideal for cafes, food trucks, restaurants, bakeries, and more!
We can get you set up with top-quality packaging for food to go and show you how custom printing will boost your business. Let’s start with greaseproof paper.
What are the benefits of using greaseproof food paper in my business?
Greaseproof food paper is a great choice for takeaway packaging for several reasons. It’s a practical and versatile choice, balancing functionality with environmental considerations. Some of the benefits include:
- Grease containment: helps keep food looking good by absorbing grease and preventing leaks from landing on your customers.
- Durable: Greaseproof paper is quite sturdy making it less likely to tear or soak through your takeaway containers.
- Food safe: Printed using food-grade dyes so they are safe for your customers.
- Temperature resistant: It can often handle a range of temperatures, making it suitable for both hot and cold foods.
- Eco-friendly: Our range of greaseproof paper is compostable and biodegradable, so it’s an eco-friendly option over other types of packaging materials.
- Customisable: Boost your business by custom printing your greaseproof paper and other packaging to create a cohesive brand experience and project a professional image.
- Versatile: From thin strips to wrap around a baguette, to large sheets for lining catering boxes, food paper is a truly versatile product that can have multiple uses in your hospitality business.
How can custom-printed takeaway food packaging benefit my business?
Custom-printing your food packaging enhances brand recognition by showcasing your logo and colours, helping your business stand out in a competitive market. Other great benefits include:
- Professional appearance: Custom packaging conveys professionalism and attention to detail, which can enhance customer perception of your food quality.
- Marketing tool: Allows you to promote special offers, new items, or events right on the packaging.
- Customer experience: Unique and attractive packaging can improve the overall customer experience.
- Social media appeal: Eye-catching packaging can encourage customers to share their meals on social media, providing free advertising and word-of-mouth promotion.
Can I also have bags custom-printed?
We custom print many types of bags, big and small, from wide-base home delivery bags to paper sandwich bags and foil bags for kebabs and other hot foods. We can brand your bag to match or complement your greaseproof paper. In fact, we could brand pretty much every piece of packaging in your business, such as single wall cups, napkins, and cake boxes, for a seamless branded look.
How long does custom printing take?
If you’re like most customers, you might be picturing long lead times. But you’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that your custom-printed goods could arrive in as little as 2-4 weeks once your artwork is signed off. Or even faster for urgent jobs, however, it’s important to remember that a fast-tracked job will attract a premium.
What size greaseproof paper can I get?
Whether you’re lining a snack pack or wrapping a burrito, we have a greaseproof paper size to meet your needs. Simply choose one of our pre-cut sizes or have us custom cut the sheets to your specifications, from a thin strip up to a full sheet size.
A full-size (also referred to as ‘full cut’) sheet of greaseproof paper is 28-30GSM and measures 660mm x 400mm. However, the following sizes are also frequently used by our customers:
- Cut 1/2 – 400 x 330mm
- Cut 1/3 – 220 x 400mm
- Cut 1/4 – 200 x 330mm
- Cut 1/6 – 110 x 400mm
What are the minimums for custom greaseproof and bags?
The minimum quantity for custom print food paper varies depending on a few factors such as whether you print locally or offshore, the size of your order, and how quickly you’d like it. Small runs will attract a premium, while larger print runs will have a cheaper price per unit.
