Make your sandwich wrapping part of the presentation. Choose a printed sheet with room for the bread, filling and fold, then check the design against the way you serve each portion.
Choose a sheet for the bread and filling
Measure a finished sandwich with its filling in place. Allow paper for the fold underneath and any overlap you want at the ends. Different bread shapes may need different cuts.
| Sheet option | Suggested check | Minimum order |
|---|---|---|
| 500 × 335 mm | Larger sandwiches and generous folds | 1,000 sheets |
| 250 × 335 mm | Compact sandwiches or partial wraps | 2,000 sheets |
| 250 × 167 or 167 × 167 mm | Small portions and liners | 4,000 or 6,000 sheets |
| Custom cut | A cut that fits your regular serving | 1,000 parent sheets |
The suggestions are starting points, not guaranteed fits. Custom rectangles are cut from 500 × 335 mm parent sheets, with a minimum stated cut of 100 × 100 mm.
Choose how customers will eat the sandwich
A flat sheet can be folded around a sandwich or used beneath a serving. Plan how the customer will open it and which part of the design will remain visible.
- Takeaway wraps: check that the paper overlaps securely without squeezing the bread or pushing out the filling.
- Eat-in liners: choose a cut that fits the tray or basket, leaving room for the sandwich to sit neatly on top.
A formed paper pocket is another option for a suitable sandwich size, with different dimensions and order minimums.
Choose paper for the filling
The core greaseproof sheet has a non-plastic grease-resistant treatment. It is useful for suitable food wrapping, but moisture and holding time affect how a finished serving performs.
- White and light-coloured white: lighter backgrounds for a café logo, illustration or repeated pattern.
- Kraft: a brown background that can complement the presentation; check how your colours look against it.
Design the paper around the fold
Print your café or deli name in one or two Pantone colours, or choose CMYK for full-colour artwork. Repeating a smaller design helps your branding remain visible around different bread shapes. Position can vary on smaller standard cuts. If a specific logo placement matters, discuss the registered full-sheet or custom-cut options and show our team how you intend to fold the wrap.
We help prepare the design for the paper you select. Review the final proof for spelling, scale and colour before approving production, including any text that may disappear underneath the sandwich.
How ordering and design work
The current UK sheet range offers standard and expedited production. Select your configuration to see the estimated delivery date before you order.
- Test the sheet size against your regular bread shapes and filled portions.
- Choose the background, print colours and quantity, then check the price.
- Send your artwork and work with our team on any layout changes.
- Approve the final proof so production can begin.
Need a particular cut or a larger quantity? Request a custom quote and include your wrapping dimensions.
Test a sample during normal service
Request a free sample and try it with the fillings you use most often. Check the fold and moisture after your normal holding time, rather than judging the empty sheet alone.
