Greaseproof Paper and Deli Sheets: Sizes and Uses for Food Businesses
The DiscountTillRolls.ie TeamGreaseproof sheets are pre-cut sheets of grease-resistant paper used to wrap sandwiches, line baskets and trays, and serve fried food. The two common sizes are 300x450mm, a good all-round wrap for sandwiches and rolls, and 350x450mm for bigger wraps, lining trays and baskets. Compostable greaseproof sheets are available for businesses that want a plastic-free wrap.
Here is how to pick the size and where greaseproof works best.

Greaseproof or baking parchment?
They look similar but do different jobs.
- Greaseproof paper resists grease and oil. It is best for wrapping and serving food.
- Baking parchment is made to resist sticking at oven temperatures, so it is the one to use for lining baking trays and tins. See Caterwrap baking parchment.
For wrapping burgers specifically, burger wraps come in colours for easy order sorting. Bags and chip bags are covered in the paper bags guide.
