Papertec, Inc. supplies a comprehensive selection of food grade paper products designed to meet the daily requirements of food processors, packagers, and distributors. With decades of experience in the paper converting industry, the company provides both standard and custom food grade paper options for commercial kitchens, food manufacturing plants, and packaging operations across the country.
Papertec’s product line includes FDA-approved materials suitable for direct food contact, supported by converting capabilities that allow clients to specify roll widths, sheet sizes, and other important factors for their specific workflows.
Food packaging must maintain safety, freshness, and presentation. The materials used in wrapping, storing, and separating food items must be clean, safe, and compliant with regulatory standards. Food grade paper makes sure that packaging doesn’t introduce harmful contaminants or alter the quality of the food it protects.
Papertec sources and converts materials with food-contact certification and performance reliability. These products are used in various sectors, including fresh meat processing, baked goods, frozen food production, and takeout services.
Papertec’s catalog features a wide selection of food processing and packaging products that serve both standard packaging needs and more specialized applications. These include six key material types frequently used in the industry:
Butcher paper is a staple across meat processing and packaging operations. Available in white, pink and natural kraft colors, it is ideal for wrapping fresh meats, seafood sandwiches and other prepared foods.. Its breathable construction allows meats to age properly while maintaining a clean appearance on display. It also serves as a table liner in delis and butcher shops.
Offered in standard or custom food grade paper configurations, butcher paper can be made in rolls, sheets, or die-cut to size. This flexibility allows customers to integrate it directly into their equipment or manual workflows. Options include waxed butcher paper for added grease resistance and higher-strength grades for wrapping larger cuts. We also offer custom food grade printing on all our butcher paper items. This paper can be printed up to 4 colors and customized with company logos, mottos, slogans or images.
Glassine paper is known for its smooth surface and translucence. It is often selected for bakery wraps, candy interleaving, and food separator sheets. Glassine provides excellent resistance to grease and moisture without needing additional coatings. Its ability to serve as a clean barrier between sticky or oily products makes it highly useful in confectionery and snack packaging. Glassine is a preferred paper for chocolate enrobing machines and applications.
Papertec offers glassine paper in rolls, sheets or die cut pieces. Custom sheet sizes are available for clients who require precise cuts for automated wrapping or food presentation. As a food grade paper, glassine is often used where clean visibility and resistance to migration are important.
Waxed paper plays a critical role in sandwich wrapping, deli liners, and interleaving applications. This paper features one or more wax coatings, allowing it to resist moisture, grease, and oils. It maintains a clean surface for presentation and helps prevent product sticking during storage or transport. Waxed paper can be used in a variety of fresh or frozen food processing applications such as poultry interleaving, crepe interleaving, empanada dough interleaf and more!
Papertec supplies food grade tissue paper that is waxed and ready for direct food contact. It is especially useful in quick-service restaurants and butcher shops. The wax finish is also printable, and Papertec can apply soy-based inks for those needing branded or instructional text on their packaging.
Parchment paper is favored by bakeries, foodservice kitchens, and frozen food manufacturers. It offers a smooth, non-stick surface and can withstand high oven temperatures. Parchment is often used for pan lining, cookie baking, and reheating applications where food must be cooked on the paper without sticking or burning.
As part of its custom food grade paper services, Papertec supplies parchment in rolls, sheets, circles or other die cut shapes. Our parchment paper is made in either bleached or natural colors and is either quilon or silicone coated. It is safe for microwave and oven use and is manufactured to meet FDA standards for direct food contact. This paper is often used as a release layer in frozen food trays and cooking pouches.
Polycoated paper is produced by laminating various paper grades with polyethylene or polypropylene. This creates a strong barrier to resist moisture, grease, and contaminants. Polycoated grades are used for wrapping meats, sandwiches, freezer paper, lining boxes, packaging frozen items, and forming durable trays or liners that need to contain liquids.
Papertec can produce custom food grade paper with specific poly weights and coating types. Coatings can be applied on one or both sides depending on performance requirements. These products are widely used in packaging where leakage protection and structural stability are critical. We also offer up to four color printing on all of our poly coated material. This is great for private labeling and branding purposes.
For more rigid food packaging, Papertec offers various grades of board stock in both coated and uncoated finishes. This includes solid bleached sulfate (SBS), clay-coated kraft, and poly-laminated options. These materials are suitable for bakery inserts, tray dividers, candy packaging, frozen food packaging, and small-format folding cartons.
Board stock can be converted to customer specifications, with capabilities including precision cutting, scoring, and die-cutting. Food grade paper in board form helps food products maintain shape and structure during transit while also providing an appealing visual presentation.
Every food packaging operation has unique production needs. Papertec offers slitting, sheeting, die-cutting, and flexographic printing services to match client requirements. Materials can be supplied in roll form, flat sheets, or custom die-cut pieces for use in automated packaging systems or manual workflows.
The company’s converting capabilities support a wide range of roll widths and sheet dimensions. For clients looking for custom food grade paper, Papertec can apply coatings, add branding, and create packaging components that fit exact equipment specifications.
Papertec takes compliance seriously and sources its raw materials from manufacturers that meet FDA standards for direct food contact. Each product in the food processing line is chosen and converted with food safety in mind. Documentation is available upon request, and many materials meet not only federal food safety regulations but also military packaging guidelines where applicable.
Through rigorous inspection, traceability, and consistent manufacturing standards, we support businesses that prioritize hygiene, safety, and product consistency in their packaging.
Papertec’s food grade tissue paper and other food packaging materials serve a wide customer base across several segments, including:
Each of these sectors depends on consistent product performance, availability, and compliance. Papertec supports both small business orders and high-volume fulfillment with responsive service.
