Food papers are widely used in the fast food industry, but also across the entire food industry. Easy to use for packaging, transporting, or storing, these papers have to comply with a number of important criteria, and regulations regarding food contact in order to comply with current food hygiene and safety standards. A wide range of food papers exists on the market with specific benefits and characteristics depending on the use. Here is a guide to the different types of food paper that you can find, and how to choose among them.
Non-stick baking paper
This paper, suitable for food contact, is intended for cooking. Its benefits? It is very resistant to heat and non-stick, which makes it suitable for industrial or more domestic use. It is perfect for cooking in the oven up to 220 degrees celsius for example, and is particularly effective to remove food such as pastries from the mould thanks to its non-stick surface.
Absorbent crepe paper
Absorbent crepe paper is used in the industrial sector for food products manufacturing. As its name indicates, it has formidable absorbent properties! Absorbent crepe paper is used to absorb moisture and grease contained in food. It can also be used in packaging to protect food products.
Greaseproof food paper

For example, greaseproof or vellum papers are very resistant, and their surfaces can be easily customised with the colours of your company or your brand!
