Step-By-Step Guide To Making Custom Greaseproof Paper Bags

Our custom greaseproof paper bag makes every takeaway & delivery clean & hassle-free.

Dive into the steps in the manufacturing of greaseproof paper, including:

Pulp Preparation

First, fibres of wood are put into a soak. They get ‘dissolved’ in water to form a soft pulp.

Impurities are washed out to ensure the smoothness of the final paper product.

This is like pampering our fibres before they become your trusty greaseproof paper.

Beating the Pulp 

Afterwards, our pulp is run through a beater. It is like exercising the fibres.

They are soft, strong, and pliable. This way, paper will be tear- and grease-proof, providing proper care for your food.

Sheet Formation 

This pulp is then put on a mesh belt that is in motion. This sheet formation is then place on a moving mesh, and the water is removed.

This causes the fibres to stick together.

Our gently pressed fibres then form thin and uniform sheets.

This is when the final look for your fries, burgers, and pastries is defined.

Drying Fun 

For this purpose, the paper sheets are passed over hot rollers or dryers to ensure complete drying.

Drying is done with a lot of care to ensure that the sheets do not warp.

It is also done to make sure that the sheets remain smooth.

This process is like ironing your sheets to get rid of wrinkles.

 Supercalendering Process 

The same rollers are heavy in weight and flatten the sheets by pressing them to a flat state.

This is done to give your paper a smooth finish. It is use for giving greaseproof paper strength and shine.

It is ready to win customers with its strength and shine.

Grease-Resistant Coating 

Your greaseproof paper will receive its protective coat.

A coat of starch, clay, or resin is added.

This stops any oil or grease from seeping through.

Your burgers and fries are always fresh, and your hands are always clean.

Cutting and Rolling 

Finally, cutting the sheets or rolling them into large reels is the last step in greaseproof paper-making technology.

The product can now be shipped to your local bakery, takeaway, or food company.

That is how your greaseproof paper bags are made. 

Find the Perfect Size Greaseproof Bag for Every Food

Grease-proof bags must be the correct sizes to ensure that food freshness and cleanliness are maintained.

These paper bags come in every size to help package food.

Here are the various sizes:

Small Bags: 4 × 6 in. (10 × 15 cm): Ideal for packaging snacks and candies. Small bags are ideal for serving food fast and easily. 

Medium Bags: 6 × 9 in. (15 × 23 cm): These bags have sufficient room for all item types. They work well for sandwiches or baking goods. 

Large Bags: 8 × 12 in. (20 × 30 cm): Have sufficient space and durability for a large quantity of food.

They can also use to package baking goods and takeaway food. 

Extra-Large Bags: 10 × 15 in. (25 × 38 cm): The bag is design to contain large quantities of food without falling apart during transport.

Creative Printing Options to Make Greaseproof Bags Stand Out

Printing brings plain greaseproof bags to life. You can have them from logos to textures; these techniques make your bags look stylish and funky. 

Here are some ways to make your takeaway or bakery bags pop.

Digital Printing 

Digital printing is the best option if you need to print fewer bags or want to be funky.

You want to add bright colours, cute designs, and anything funky.

Your bags do not need to look the same; each one is unique.

Flexo Printing

Flexo printing is super quick and ensures your designs look super sharp and funky.

This is the best option if you need to print many bags, where each one has to look the same.

Best customer service and LOVE the end result

Paul was amazing from start to finish. First of all, he quoted me a competitive price on my custom reed diffuser packaging. He gave me the best price in the market. He was helpful in answering my gazillion questions (very quickly) and he was very patient with me when it came to my design requests. In all honesty, I thought he would give up on me at some point but he didn't :-). Then he showed me my mockups, communicated when they were in printing and off for shipping. He's very transparent, super nice and helpful person. I will keep him as my permanent contact for customized packaging designs when I need restocking. Definitely order from him. Paul You're a Legend!
