An instant of the fries and grease spots in the basket can be seen on white paper. The same basket with a strong print design feels fresh and purposeful all the way to the final bite. One of the most valuable and least talked about properties of printed wax paper is pattern design, it is a real presentation problem. Consider what your customer sees in the picture of your food. What sort of paper would you like under it?
What is Printed Wax Paper?
Printed wax paper is the paper that has been coated with wax or coated with a food-safe material and then printed with a logo or repeating pattern. Sandwiches are wrapped in wax paper, and baskets and trays are lined with it, and the print transforms a basic liner into a piece of your brand.
The reason behind Pattern Beats Plain White.
A repeating pattern or full-coverage design will cover up grease marks and baskets, and wraps will stay clean for longer. In addition, printed wax paper adds a final touch of a photo-ready appearance to take-out orders, which plain paper cannot provide.
Grease-resistant wax paper will prevent grease from getting on trays and tables, and having a low cost per sheet, it is a cost-effective method to line each basket, rather than a luxury. If you need to place a number of wax paper together in bulk, you can also implement a seasonal pattern without overspending.
There’s a softer side to it, too. Staff no longer change liners every 10 minutes since a spot was found, so there is saving of paper and attention during rush.
Specs and Print Options
The typical custom printed wax paper is a 30 to 40 lb kraft or white stock paper that is coated or waxed so that it is resistant to grease and moisture and is safe for foodservice. Rolls are appropriate for basket weaving or sandwich wraps (15 x 15 inches), and sheets are used for lining trays.
Printing is done with food-safe inks, and designs can be either a small logo or a full repeating pattern. Light or light-tone patterns are better at concealing grease, whereas solid white will reveal spots in no time. All materials should meet FDA standards for food contact.
To select an appropriate pattern that is effective.
Try to use a pattern that has some density and mid-tone color, like stripes, checks, or a small repeating logo. Do not have large areas of white space where grease will show.
Test the pattern by trying it out with your grumpiest dish before you order a big run. The biggest error is selecting a clean, simple design that will look great on screen and will reveal all the oil spots during service. If possible, get a sample sheet and place a real bucket of fries on the table for 20 minutes. The result is the best proof you can find.
Seasonal patterns are also of interest to consider. Wax Paper Sheets are inexpensive per sheet, so you can test out a design for a few weeks, and then return to your regular sheets without making a substantial upfront investment.
