Certified for food-contact manufacturing

GMLUK manufactures branded food packaging paper for restaurants, cafes, bakeries, delis, butchers, fishmongers, food-to-go brands, hospitality groups and packaging resellers.

Branded food packaging does not have to mean complicated boxes or expensive rigid packaging. Often, the most useful brand touchpoint is the paper that directly wraps, lines or presents the food: a burger wrap, sandwich paper, tray liner, bakery sheet, deli wrap, counter bag or cake liner.

We manufacture custom printed, custom sized and custom coated paper products that help food businesses make everyday packaging feel more professional, consistent and recognisable.

What you get

Why branded paper packaging works

Food is experienced through the packaging before the customer takes the first bite. A printed wrap, liner or bag makes the product feel more considered.

01

Brand recognition

Logos and colours on the paper your customers handle daily.

02

Consistency across sites

Same paper, same print, every kitchen and counter.

03

Premium counter and delivery presentation

Branded wrap reads as a more considered product, in-store and on delivery.

04

Seasonal campaigns

Run a printed seasonal wrap alongside your standard line for limited campaigns.

05

Own-label packaging ranges

For multi-site groups and franchises, branded paper builds a coherent own-label range.

06

Repeat customer experience

Familiar packaging reinforces the brand for repeat-order customers.

Material selection

Choosing the right paper for the food

The right branded food packaging paper depends on the product being packed. Greaseproof paper is the workhorse for burgers, pastries, tray liners and food-to-go wraps where grease resistance is the priority. Waxed paper provides a different moisture barrier and tactile feel, often the right call for deli, bakery, burger and counter applications. PE-coated paper handles wet or chilled foods such as fish, meat and cheese where a stronger moisture barrier is required.

The material should be selected around the food type, grease level, moisture level, temperature, handling, print requirement and end-of-life expectations. We help work that out during the specification conversation.

What you get

Custom sizes and formats

Branded food packaging works best when the paper fits the product.

01

Custom sheet sizes, cut and packed to your specification.

02

Reels

Slit to width, on 51 or 76 mm cores for counter dispensers.

03

Counter bags

04

Tray liners

Pre-cut to your tray dimensions, food-contact compliant.

05

Die-cut shapes

Custom shapes for cake circles, inserts and presentation pieces.

Compliance

Food-contact and specification support

Food packaging specifications need careful handling. Material, coating, ink system, print position, contact time, food type and storage conditions all affect suitability.

We work to BRCGS-aligned hygiene processes and issue declarations of compliance with EC 1935/2004 for food-contact products. We can help specify the right paper route and provide relevant documentation as part of the quote.

Branded food packaging FAQs

Can food wrapping paper be custom printed?

Yes. Greaseproof paper, waxed paper, burger wrap, sandwich paper, tray liners, bakery paper and selected coated papers can all carry custom print with up to 6 colours, pantone matched.

What is the best paper for branded burger wraps?

Greaseproof and waxed paper are the common options. The right choice depends on heat, grease, moisture, wrapping style, print design and required barrier performance. We help work that out at quote stage.

Can you make branded tray liners?

Yes. Tray liners can be custom printed and cut to the required size, subject to specification and order quantity.

Can branded food packaging be supplied in custom sizes?

Yes. Custom sheet sizes, reels, die-cut shapes, bags and liners are all possible depending on the product and material.

How long does a printed run take?

From 3 weeks for a new design, including plate making, colour matching and a proof. Repeat orders against an existing setup run faster.

Is branded food packaging recyclable?

Recyclability depends on the paper, coating, inks, food contamination and local collection route. We help choose a specification based on the performance and end-of-life priorities of the project.
