Food & Beverage

GMLUK manufactures custom food packaging papers for food and beverage businesses, food packaging distributors, paper merchants and trade suppliers.

Food packaging paper needs to perform. It may need to resist grease, manage moisture, separate products, line trays, wrap food-to-go items, support production handling or carry a brand through custom print. The right specification depends on the food, the temperature, the contact time, the coating, the print, the format and the end use.

We manufacture custom printed, custom sized and custom coated paper products for bakeries, cafes, delis, butchers, fishmongers, cheesemakers, confectionery brands, food manufacturers and food-to-go operators.

Bakeries and patisseries

Bakeries need paper that works with grease, heat, handling and presentation. GMLUK can manufacture greaseproof bakery paper, cake liners, tray liners, loaf wraps, patisserie sheets, bakery bags and custom printed branded bakery papers. Custom sizing is especially useful for cake boards, baking trays, tin liners, pastry sheets and pre-cut bakery formats.

Burger, takeaway and food-to-go brands

Food-to-go packaging needs to be quick to use, visually consistent and suitable for oily, hot or handled foods. Custom printed greaseproof paper, waxed burger wrap, sandwich paper, takeaway wrap and tray liners can help create a more professional branded experience. For resellers and distributors, these products are strong repeat-order opportunities because customers often want the same paper size, print and format across multiple sites.

Cafes and coffee shops

Cafes need wrapping paper for pastries, sandwiches, cakes, cookies, tray lining and takeaway presentation. Custom printed paper can help independent cafes, chains and foodservice suppliers turn basic packaging into a recognisable brand touchpoint.

Delis, farm shops and food halls

Delis and farm shops use paper for cheese, cured meats, pies, pastries, bakery products, sandwiches and counter presentation. Waxed, greaseproof and PE-coated papers all have different uses depending on moisture, fat, handling and appearance.

Butchers, fishmongers and cheesemakers

Fresh food counters often need coated papers with stronger barrier performance. Meat, fish and cheese papers may require PE-coated or waxed specifications depending on moisture, fat, storage and handling requirements.

Confectionery and chocolate brands

Chocolate and confectionery businesses may need glassine paper, interleaving sheets, custom printed wraps, branded tissue or presentation papers. Appearance, smoothness, grease resistance and format can all matter.

Food manufacturers and production facilities

Food manufacturers may need paper as part of the production process, not just as packaging. This can include interleaving sheets, release papers, tray liners, coated paper reels, custom slit rolls and die-cut formats.

Choosing between greaseproof, waxed and PE-coated paper

The right food paper depends on the product. Greaseproof paper is often used where grease resistance is needed, such as burgers, baked goods, tray liners and food-to-go wraps. Waxed paper can offer a different moisture barrier and feel, often useful for deli, bakery and selected takeaway applications. PE-coated paper may be suitable where stronger moisture resistance is required, such as certain meat, fish and cheese applications.

Food-contact considerations

Food-contact paper specifications should be selected carefully. The substrate, coating, ink system, print position, food type, storage conditions and intended use all affect suitability. GMLUK can help customers specify appropriate paper products and provide relevant documentation where applicable.
