Description
Overview

Wax Paper

The paper is the packaging — a wax barrier that works cold but not hot.

Wax-coated sheet gives moisture and grease resistance at very low cost, with one real limit: heat melts the coating, so it is a cold and ambient material.

What We Make

The full kit of capabilities.

Low-Cost Moisture Barrier
The cheapest coated-paper route to moisture resistance.
Non-Stick at Ambient
Clean release for cold and warm food.
Deli Interleaving
Sheets that stop slices welding into a block.
Sandwich and Burger Wrapping
For warm food and grab-and-go service.
Soy Wax Option
Plant-derived coating that composts more readily.
Pre-Cut Sheets and Rolls
Sized to your workflow.
All-Over Pattern Print
Artwork that reads however the sheet is folded.
Bleached or Kraft Base
Bright print or natural appearance.
Oven Use
Wax melts well below oven temperature, transfers onto food and can smoke. Use parchment for anything hot — this is the most common mistake with this product.
Hot Fried Food Contact
Very hot oil softens the wax coating. Parchment handles fryer-temperature food; wax paper does not.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Custom Wax Paper is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.

03
Give us the order

We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

What It Costs

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

— Frequently Asked Questions —

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about Custom Wax Paper.

No. This is the single most important thing to know about it.

Wax paper is coated in paraffin or soy wax, and wax melts far below oven temperature. In a hot oven it softens, transfers wax onto the food, and can smoke. Neither coating type changes this — soy wax is not a route to making wax paper oven safe.

The paper you want for the oven is parchment, which is coated with silicone and is typically rated to around 220°C.

The two look very similar, which is exactly how wax paper ends up in ovens. If your kitchen stocks both, it is worth labelling the boxes clearly and being explicit with new staff.

For hot fried food the same applies: parchment handles fryer-temperature contact, wax paper softens.
