Custom Deli Paper: Moisture Management & Crease Integrity
The primary challenge of deli wrapping is “Acid & Oil Attack.” Many deli products use vinaigrettes or mayo-based spreads that can break down standard paper fibers. At Hexa Custom Boxes, we solve this with Internal Sizing & Surface Coating. This dual-action protection ensures that neither water nor oil can penetrate the paper, keeping the sandwich fresh and the customer’s hands clean.
1. Material Science: The “Counter-to-Customer” Substrate
We select substrates based on your menu’s “Moisture-to-Fat” ratio:
- Dry-Waxed Bleached Paper: The most popular deli choice. The wax is driven into the paper fibers, providing excellent grease resistance and a “High-Release” surface so cheese and meats won’t stick.
- Unbleached Kraft Greaseproof: Perfect for “Artisanal” or “Organic” delis. It provides a rustic, textured aesthetic and is 100% compostable.
- Poly-Coated Sandwich Wrap: Provides a 100% moisture barrier. Recommended for “Extra-Saucy” subs or wet items like pickles and slaw.
2. Technical Design: The “Efficiency-Ready” Format
We engineer the paper to handle the structural stress of various wrapping techniques:
- Interleaved Pop-Up Sheets: Pre-folded and boxed to pull out one-by-one, optimized for high-volume lunch rushes where every second counts.
- Flat-Pack Sheets: 12″ x 12″ or 15″ x 15″ precision-cut squares, ideal for flat-wrapping larger subs or lining catering trays.
- Pick-Up Tissues: Lightweight 25gsm sheets used for hygienic handling of pastries, bagels, or deli meats without direct hand contact.
3. High-Definition Finishes: The “Deli-Standard” Signature
- pH-Neutral Vegetable Inks: We use 100% non-toxic, soy-based inks that won’t flake or bleed, even when exposed to high-acidity ingredients like mustard or balsamic vinegar.
- Step-and-Repeat Branding: A diagonal logo pattern ensures that your brand name is visible regardless of how the sandwich is rolled or cut.
- Textured “Anti-Slip” Finish: Ensures the wrap stays secure in the customer’s hand and doesn’t slide across the tray or counter.
4. The “Deli-Pro” Sizing Guide
Choosing the correct size minimizes paper waste while ensuring a total “Tuck-and-Roll” seal.
| Item Type | Sheet Dimensions | Recommended Weight |
| Pastry / Small Snack | 8″ x 10″ | 25gsm Lightweight |
| Standard Sandwich / Wrap | 12″ x 12″ | 30gsm All-Purpose |

| Tray Liner / Table Cover | 15″ x 20″ | 40gsm Reinforced |
