Custom Burger Wrapping Paper

Printing Custom Burger Wrapping Paper

Burger papers usually carry a repeating pattern or logo across the whole sheet, so the branding shows whichever way the burger is wrapped. One or two colours look bold and work well with food-grade inks. Full-colour designs are possible but simple, graphic styles tend to suit the format best.

Think about how the paper will be folded. The centre of the sheet sits under the burger and the corners fold over the top, so a central logo might end up hidden. A repeating pattern, or logos placed near the corners, makes sure the branding appears on the outside of the wrap.

Some burger bars print a different design for each burger, such as a colour for beef, chicken and plant-based, which helps staff and delivery drivers tell orders apart quickly. Upload the logo through the free proof request and we will show the repeat at actual size.

Sheet Size for Your Burgers

A wrap needs enough paper to go around the burger with a generous overlap, but not so much that it bunches into a thick wad. For a single smash burger, a sheet around 300 x 300 mm is typical. Bigger stacked burgers need 350 or 380 mm sheets, while sliders work with smaller squares around 200 mm.

Test a few sizes with your actual burger before ordering. Wrap it the way your team will, check that the corners fold neatly and that the burger is held firmly. If staff are struggling to close the wrap, the sheet is too small; if there is lots of loose paper, it is too large.

Sheets can also be used as tray liners or basket liners for burgers served on site, which lets one printed paper serve two jobs. Lighter deli paper for baskets and trays does that job at a lower cost if the sheet never wraps a burger.

Ordering two sizes, one for singles and one for doubles, usually costs less overall than wrapping every burger in the largest sheet.

Wrapping Technique and Speed

The classic burger wrap is quick once learned. Place the burger in the centre, fold the bottom corner up over it, then the two sides, and finish by rolling the burger over the top corner so the weight holds it closed. A sticker can seal the wrap and mark the type of burger.

Paper supplied as cut sheets in a dispenser box makes the job faster on a busy line. Keep the stack close to the pass and away from heat lamps, which can dry out greaseproof paper and make it crack when folded.

Training new staff on the wrap is worth ten minutes before a shift. A badly wrapped burger unravels in the bag, while a tight wrap survives a bumpy delivery and arrives in one piece. A printed guide pinned near the pass helps keep wrapping consistent across the team. Our paper and finish options page shows the difference between uncoated and waxed sheets.

Who Uses Branded Burger Paper

Smash burger joints, gourmet burger bars and food vans are the most common buyers. Pubs with a burger menu use printed paper to add a bit of personality to their food. Dark kitchens and delivery-led brands use it to make their burgers recognisable when they arrive in a bag.

Event caterers, festival traders and sports venues use wrapped burgers for speed and ease of eating while standing. Some butchers also use printed paper for wrapping burger patties sold raw at the counter.

Burger bars that run pop-ups or collaborations sometimes order a short run of special paper for the event, which gives regular customers something new to photograph without changing the main brand. Vans that also sell chips and wings can match the look across the full set of printed wrapping papers.

Wrap a Real Burger Before Picking the Sheet

The ordering mistake we see most is choosing a sheet size from the menu photo. Build your biggest and your smallest burger, wrap each one the way your line will, and measure the sheet that gives a tight close with about 50 mm of overlap. A single smash burger usually lands on 300 mm square and a double on 350 or 380 mm; sliders need 200 mm. If the two sizes are far apart, order both, as it is cheaper than wrapping every slider in a large sheet.

For artwork, send the logo as a vector and say if you want a repeating pattern or logos at the corners. Tell us the burgers per week, and a custom quote comes back by email within one working day, with minimums set per job so a single van can order. The free proof shows the pattern repeat on the sheet. Printing takes 4–7 working days from approval and tracked delivery to UK mainland addresses is free and takes 2–3 working days. Paper that arrives misprinted or damaged is reprinted or refunded if reported within 10 days, and printed burger boxes for delivery orders can share the same artwork.
