The paper has to stay up with the BBQ Pitmaster on a busy BBQ line. If the roll is too narrow, they will have to make double wraps. This means that if the roll is too wide it is ripped down and discarded. The speed of printed butcher paper wrapping is determined by roll width and set-up of the dispenser, which are simple to get right, once you know what to measure. Imagine a Saturday where the line is up and out the door, and the brisket is off the pit! It's when the bad roll gets you that you're losing money.

So what is a Printed Butcher Paper?

Butcher paper for BBQ is a of kraft paper or white paper, printed with a logo or pattern to be used to wrap smoked meats, line trays and serve food. The print on BBQ butcher paper is both a product and a piece of branding, in addition to its strength and breathing capabilities.

One Roll, Three Jobs

One product does three jobs: a tray liner, a wrap for serving food and a table cover, printed butcher paper does it all! Bold one-color printing is best on white butcher paper and natural kraft provides a rustic appeal preferred by BBQ users.

When working with butcher paper that is used every day in the kitchen, wholesale butcher paper reduces the price per foot and when printed with your own brand, your name is seen on every butcher paper in the dining room. If a customer takes a picture of their tray, your name is there without asking!

Specs and Roll Options

The most common type of custom printed butcher paper are 30 to 40 lb basis weight kraft, 18, 24, or 36 inches wide, and lengths of approximately 700 to 1,000 feet. The typical colors are white and natural kraft.

Printing is done with food safe inks and often designs are repeated across the roll and any cut sheet displays the brand. Sheets can be used with a standard wall-mount or countertop dispenser equipped with a serrated cutter. The meat products must be FDA approved for direct use in food.

Who is using butcher paper?

Wholesale Butcher Paper is used for wrapping in BBQ restaurants and smokehouses for tray service. Narrower Sheets are preferred for food trucks because they take up less space. Wide Sheets are used as table covers at events by caterers.

Sheets are used in meat markets and butcher shops for wrapping on the meat counter, and in burger and sandwich shops to line trays.

How to Choose the Right Roll?

Select the width according to the job. For most brisket and rib wraps, a 24 inch roll is appropriate, for tray lining and smaller items use an 18 inch roll and for large cuts and table covers use a 36 inch roll. Sheets must fit the dispenser; if the roll is too large, it won't fit.

The most common error made is ordering 1 width for all of the jobs and cutting the wide paper by hand. This will slow service and use stock. Before you get your papers, walk your line and see how many jobs the paper can do! The answer is frequently more often than not, two widths, and not one.

Consider the placement of the dispenser if space is limited. A wall mounted cutting tool at elbow height and within one step of the pit or prep table maintains the wrapping of smooth. in a back corner indicates that someone is leaving his/her station each time they need paper. A few minutes saved by placing a few inches during a long weekend.
