Custom Printed Tissue Paper
Make the first layer feel as thoughtful as what’s inside. Wrap clothing, accessories and gifts in tissue printed with your own logo or pattern.
Wrapping Tissue or Greaseproof Paper?
Choose paper by its intended contact and use. Packaging tissue and food wrapping paper may look similar, but their specifications serve different purposes.
Your specification. Your artwork. A clear quotation.
Practical Guidance
Start with what touches the paper
Packaging tissue is commonly used around garments, gifts and retail products to organise the presentation and add a printed brand detail. Food wrapping paper must be specified for the food and conditions it will contact. Do not treat a decorative tissue sheet as suitable for direct food contact without the appropriate confirmation.
Tell us whether the sheet touches the product directly, lines another container or acts as an outer decorative layer. That distinction changes the brief.

Substrate Technical Specification
Wrapping Tissue vs Greaseproof Paper: Complete Substrate & Compliance Comparison
Choosing between packaging wrapping tissue and certified food greaseproof paper comes down to food contact regulations, grammage (GSM), and barrier hold-out. While retail tissue enhances presentation, greaseproof paper provides a mechanical barrier against oils, butter, and moisture.
01 Work through your brief 4 Standards
01
Packaging tissue for presentation
Choose a tissue sheet around the product dimensions and the way it is folded. Consider base colour, print coverage and whether a repeating logo or a more open pattern suits the brand. If the product is pale, delicate or sensitive to rubbing, discuss compatibility and test the proposed construction. The tissue page on this website covers packaging and wrapping tissue. Restaurant napkins, facial tissues and tissue boxes are separate products and are not part of that range.
02
Food paper for the actual conditions
For a food wrapping enquiry, describe the food, grease or moisture exposure, contact temperature and expected duration. Hot food, refrigerated items and frozen products can require different specifications. A familiar trade name does not replace those details. Ask for the information relevant to the proposed material, including its intended food-contact use. Avoid extending a claim from one stock or printed construction to another without confirmation.
03
Waxed and greaseproof are not interchangeable labels
Different treatments and constructions can create different barriers and handling characteristics. A grease-resistant sheet and a wax-coated wrap should not be assumed to behave identically. Explain the result you need rather than relying only on the broad product name. If you already use a paper successfully, send its specification or a reference sample. That gives the discussion a firmer basis than colour or thickness alone.
04
Make the quote easy to assess
Provide sheet dimensions, quantity and printing requirements alongside the use conditions. State whether the size is the finished cut sheet and whether several artwork versions are needed. Ask for the material and construction to be identified in the quotation. If environmental performance is important, request the relevant evidence for the actual supplied product. Coatings, inks and local collection arrangements can affect end-of-life claims, so keep the wording specific and supportable.
02 Calendered Mechanical Barrier Lipid Resistance
- Core Standard: Greaseproof paper undergoes mechanical super-calendering creating a dense pore-free web rated at KIT 7-9, preventing oil soaking from pastries, burgers, and fried food.
03 EC 1935/2004 Compliance Direct Food Contact
- Core Standard: Certified food paper is manufactured with virgin pulp and zero migration barrier resins safe for direct hot food contact, whereas standard gift tissue is strictly for dry non-food goods.
04 17gsm Tissue vs 40gsm Kraft Grammage & Calibre
- Core Standard: Retail tissue paper ranges from ultra-light 17gsm to 28gsm for delicate wrapping, while greaseproof food wrap ranges from 34gsm to 60gsm for wet structural strength.
05 Plastic-Free Curbside Repulping Eco Recyclability
- Core Standard: Both unlaminated paper grades are 100% biodegradable and recyclable in UK kerbside paper streams, offering fully compliant alternatives to plastic-coated wrappers.

Clear Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers on sizing, minimum order runs, artwork proofs, board calipers, and free tracked UK delivery.
Can retail wrapping tissue be safely used to wrap hot burgers or bakery items?
No. Standard retail tissue paper is not certified for direct hot food contact and will instantly soften, tear, and absorb oils. Hot or greasy food must always be wrapped in certified food-grade greaseproof paper.
What makes greaseproof paper resistant to oils without plastic coatings?
During manufacturing, refined wood fibers are beaten intensively and passed through heavy heated steel rollers (super-calendering). This compacts the cellulose fibers so tightly that liquid oil and grease molecules cannot pass through.
What is the KIT test rating for greaseproof food paper?
The KIT test measures a paper's resistance to hydrocarbon solvents from scale 1 (lowest) to 12 (highest). QPack food papers achieve KIT 7 to 9, offering exceptional hold-out for fried chicken, burgers, and artisan cheeses.
Have a specific requirement or custom dieline?
