Custom Deli Paper: Brand Your Food Wrapping and Boost Customer Recognition

Custom deli paper is one of the simplest and most cost effective ways for restaurants, delis, and food brands to add branding to their everyday operations. Every sandwich wrapped, every basket lined, and every tray covered with printed deli paper puts your logo in front of customers. At Color Icon Packaging, we produce custom printed deli paper in sheets and rolls for food businesses across the United States that want to turn basic food wrapping into a branding opportunity.

What Is Custom Deli Paper

Deli paper is a thin, food grade wrapping paper used to line baskets, wrap sandwiches, separate food items, and cover serving trays. Standard deli paper is a plain white or natural kraft sheet. Custom deli paper takes this everyday material and prints it with your restaurant’s logo, brand colors, menu highlights, or promotional messaging. The result is a branded touchpoint at every meal, takeout order, and catered event.

Custom deli paper is manufactured with FDA compliant food safe inks and coatings, making it safe for direct food contact. It is available in grease resistant and moisture resistant varieties to handle different types of food service applications.

Types of Custom Deli Paper

Dry Wax Deli Paper

Dry wax deli paper is coated with a thin layer of wax that provides moderate grease and moisture resistance. It is the most common type used for wrapping sandwiches, lining baskets, and separating deli meats and cheeses. The wax coating does not transfer to food, making it safe and practical for daily use.

Wet Wax Deli Paper

Wet wax deli paper features a heavier wax application that provides superior grease and moisture barrier properties. It is the best choice for wrapping oily foods like fried chicken, burgers, and fatty deli meats. The enhanced barrier prevents grease from soaking through and staining hands or surfaces.

Kraft Deli Paper

Kraft deli paper has a natural brown appearance that gives food presentations a rustic, artisan look. It is popular with farm to table restaurants, organic delis, and specialty food shops that want packaging that reflects a natural, wholesome brand identity.
