Thin packaging of meat means the blood will leak out, it will spoil quickly and the appearance is far from presenting a professional image of the meat products, which will actually repel customers. For commercial kitchens and meat markets, if the wrap isn’t up to scratch, there is a risk of cross-contamination or loss of stock. These critical containment issues can be addressed immediately with upgrading to high quality butcher paper. Businesses can also work with trusted meat wrapping paper suppliers, ensuring that they receive a high-quality product that will keep their cuts of meat fresh and secure while also providing the opportunity for custom branding to distinguish themselves in a crowded market.
What is custom butcher paper?
Custom butcher paper is a heavy-duty, dense, and strong Kraft paper that’s designed for wrapping fresh seafood, poultry, and meat. It is treated with a special sizing agent and has a greater blood and moisture resistance than regular craft paper, while still maintaining a natural breathability. This custom-made butcher’s paper will keep raw cuts fresh, in shape and safely contained while being transported or held commercially for a short time in refrigeration.
Key Features & Specifications
Commercial buyers should require very strict specifications to guarantee optimum performance in humid environments. The packaging is normally produced from the highest quality natural kraft paper or pure wood pulp in white. The thickness is crucial, and the typical thickness is 40 GSM to 50 GSM so that the sharp bones will not penetrate the wrapping.
The paper is FDA approved for sizing to prevent moisture from affecting the paper, yet it allows the meat to breath, keeping it natural colour. Available in pre-cut sheets or in large continuous rolls for large volume processing.
Business Applications
Heavy duty printed butcher paper is a basic essential in the working procedure of the commercial food industry. It is used for safely wrapping raw steaks and ground beef at traditional butcher shops and grocery meat counters for retail customers. The authentic BBQ restaurants use unwaxed peach or pink kraft rolls, which are ideal for retaining moisture and creating the perfect bark. From moisture-wicking white sheets for the seafood market to wrap fresh fillets of fish, to the upscale modern craft deli using the sturdy material as a “tray liner” to reinforce their artisanal image, there are so many uses for this material.
Benefits for Businesses

Your logo will instead go straight into the customer’s home refrigerator, providing long term, low-cost marketing.
