Plain Food Grade Greaseproof Sheets: Mechanical Barrier & Kitchen Economics
In commercial butcheries, artisan bakeries, high-volume delicatessens, and fast-casual food production, unprinted plain greaseproof paper is the indispensable standard for hygienic food separation and grease barrier performance. Free from printing inks and coatings, plain greaseproof sheets provide pure, unadulterated cellulose protection that resists boiling butter, hot animal fats, and marinades without sticking or tearing. Below, our food contact packaging engineers review the pulp mechanics, thermal limits, and commercial utility of plain food-grade greaseproof sheets.
01
Pure Cellulose Supercalendering
How natural wood fibres block hot grease without synthetic plastic coatings:
- Hydration Refining: Virgin Scandinavian wood pulp is refined to open the cellulose micro-fibrils, creating an intensely dense, interwoven paper web.
- Supercalendered Finish: The paper web passes through superheated steel and cotton calendar stacks, crushing out microscopic air pockets to create a natural physical barrier.
- 3M Kit Rating 5 to 7: Certified oil resistance that blocks animal fats, olive oils, butter, and frying grease from penetrating through the sheet.
- Breathable Steam Dissipation: Unlike non-breathable plastic wraps, greaseproof paper allows moisture vapour to escape, keeping fried pastry and toasted bread crisp.
02
Thermal Range: Panini Presses to Freezer Vaults
Engineered to endure the full extreme temperature spectrum of commercial catering:
- Heat Resistant up to 220°C (428°F): Oven safe and microwave safe; ideal for contact panini grills, hot holding cabinets, and bakery oven trays.
- Freezer Stable to -20°C: Prevents raw meat patties, artisan dough balls, and smoked fish fillets from freezer burning or sticking together during deep freeze.
- Zero Smoke & Zero Scorching: Pure virgin cellulose will not scorch, curl, or release toxic off-gases when placed inside commercial hot food holding cabinets.
- Wet-Strength Chemistry: Retains high tensile strength even when exposed to meat blood, brine, condensation, and hot steam without dissolving into mush.
03
Direct Food Safety & Legal Compliance
Stringently certified for direct contact with all food categories:
- EC No 1935/2004 & UK Materials and Articles 2012: Fully certified with written Declaration of Compliance (DoC) for all commercial catering inspections.
- 100% PFAS & Fluorochemical Free: Contains zero harmful fluorine compounds, relying solely on natural physical calendering for grease resistance.
- Pure Virgin Fibre: Zero recycled post-consumer waste content, guaranteeing complete freedom from printing inks, heavy metals, or chemical residue.
- Taste & Odour Neutral: Certified under EN 1230 sensory evaluation tests to ensure zero flavour alteration in delicate artisan cheeses, chocolates, or coffees.
04
Commercial Sizing & Dispensary Speed
Guillotine-cut dimensions ready for fast kitchen operation:
- Standard Kitchen Sizes: 250 x 335mm (wire baskets/sides), 335 x 420mm (standard burgers/deli sandwiches), and 420 x 500mm (large baguettes/platters).
- Bespoke Dieline Cutting: Custom precision cut to your exact wire baskets, wooden boards, or takeout container dimensions to avoid manual trimming.
- Anti-Static Guillotine Cutting: Reams dispense single sheets smoothly during high-pressure lunch rushes without double-pull wastage.
- Ream Pack Protection: 500-sheet reams enclosed in heavy kraft wrappers to shield against kitchen humidity and splash contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers on sizing, minimum order runs, artwork proofs, board calipers, and free tracked UK delivery.
Are these plain greaseproof sheets certified for direct food contact in the UK?
Yes, 100%. Our plain food-grade greaseproof sheets comply strictly with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, the Materials and Articles in Contact with Food (England) Regulations 2012, and German BfR Recommendation XXXVI. They are certified safe for direct contact with dry, fatty, and moist foods.
Can plain greaseproof sheets be used in ovens and contact panini grills?
Yes. Our greaseproof sheets are thermally stable up to 220°C (428°F). They are widely used by UK toastie shops, cafes, and bakeries for separation in contact grills and on baking sheets without burning, scorching, or smoke.
Are these sheets completely free of PFAS and forever chemicals?
Yes. Our paper achieves its high oil and grease barrier (Kit rating 5 to 7) purely through mechanical supercalendering of virgin wood fibres. It contains zero added fluorochemicals (PFAS/PFOS/PFOA) or plastic coatings, making it 100% natural and safe.
What is the difference between bleached white and unbleached brown sheets?
Bleached white greaseproof paper offers a bright, clinical, and clean appearance, making it the classic choice for delis, fish and chips, and patisseries. Unbleached brown greaseproof retains the natural wood colour, communicating rustic, organic, and eco-friendly branding.
How are plain greaseproof paper reams packaged?
Sheets are packed in exact counts of 500 sheets per ream, wrapped in heavy protective kraft wrappers. Reams are packed into sturdy outer corrugated cartons to protect edges and prevent moisture absorption in restaurant storerooms.
What are the standard sheet sizes available for immediate dispatch?
Our popular off-the-shelf sizes include 250 x 335mm (small basket/toastie), 335 x 420mm (standard burger wrap), and 420 x 500mm (large deli wrap/platter liner). Custom dimensions can also be guillotined upon request.
