In a snack bar or bakery, almost everything crosses the counter in paper: a sandwich, a portion of fries, a pastry, a slice of cake. Every customer sees that paper. With greaseproof paper printed with your logo, that everyday wrapping becomes a recognisable part of your business. This article covers which size, which paper and which design work best for snack bars and bakeries.
Looking for the basics first — minimum order and how ordering works? Read our guide to custom printed greaseproof paper.
Sheets or rolls: what suits your counter?
Printed greaseproof paper comes in two formats:
- Sheets of 20×30 cm or 30×40 cm — handy if you use one sheet per product. The smaller sheet suits a sandwich or a pastry; the larger one a burger, a wrap or a portion of fries.
- Rolls 30 or 40 cm wide and 200 metres long — handy if you tear to size yourself, for example behind a busy snack-bar counter or for bread and cakes of varying sizes.
A rule of thumb: if you sell fixed products in fixed sizes, choose sheets. If the size changes from order to order, a roll is often more practical.
White or kraft: which look suits you?
- White greaseproof paper gives a clean, bright background that makes logos and colours stand out sharply — a fit for a modern snack bar or a sleek lunchroom.
- Kraft (brown) greaseproof paper has a natural, artisanal look that suits a warm bakery or a venue with an eco-focused image.
Both are direct food-safe and fully grease- and moisture-resistant.
Logo in one place or an all-over pattern?
- Single-side printing places your logo at one fixed position — a cost-effective choice for most uses, such as a sheet under pastries in a box or on a platter.
- An all-over pattern repeats your logo across the whole sheet or roll. For wrapping, this is often the smartest choice: however the paper is folded or torn, your logo stays visible. Ideal for a sandwich or snack the customer takes away in hand.
Design tips for snack bars and bakeries
- Keep the logo simple. A recognisable logo or wordmark works better than lots of small text.
- Think about folding. With wrapping paper, customers often see only part of the sheet — an all-over pattern stops your logo disappearing into a fold.
- Pick colours that suit the paper. Darker colours stand out most on kraft; on white you can use any colour. Full-colour printing is always available.
- Check the proof. Every order includes a free 3D digital proof, so you can see your logo, colours and placement before anything is printed.
