Custom Fish and Chip Paper

Sheet Sizes That Match Your Portions

The quickest way to waste paper is to buy one size for everything. A child's portion of chips wrapped in a sheet meant for a large cod looks lost, and staff end up tearing sheets by hand. Most shops settle on two sizes: a smaller sheet for chips, sausages and kids' meals, and a larger one for fish suppers and anything with two pieces of fish.

If you are not sure, measure the sheets you buy now, or send us one in the post. We match the dimensions so your wrapping technique does not change, then adjust if staff tell us they are always folding over an extra flap. Sheets come cut and stacked in packs that sit flat beside the fryer, so there is no roll to wrestle with during the Friday rush.

Think about storage as well. Packs of cut sheets live next to a hot range, so we band them in quantities your staff can lift with one hand and keep them flat in the carton until they are needed. Sheets kept away from steam and splashes stay crisp, fold neatly and print stays sharp to the last pack in the box. If you also wrap burgers or sausages, our branded burger wrapping paper comes in smaller sheets.

Print Styles That Survive Hot, Wet Food

Fish and chip paper does not need complicated artwork. Bold one or two colour designs read best on greaseproof, and they keep each run affordable. A repeating pattern of your logo across the whole sheet means the branding shows however the parcel is folded, which matters because no two staff members wrap in quite the same way.

Mock newspaper prints remain a favourite. They nod to the old way of serving chips without putting real newsprint anywhere near food, and you can fill the columns with your own menu, opening hours or a short story about the shop. Other owners prefer a clean chequerboard or a simple border with their name in the corner. We send a free design proof before anything is printed, so you can see how the repeat lands on the sheet size you have chosen. Our guide comparing print methods and finishes covers how print sits on different stocks.

• All-over logo repeats that show on every fold
• Chequerboard or stripe patterns in your shop colours
• Single corner logo for a tidy, low-ink look

Who Orders Branded Chip Paper

Traditional fish and chip shops are the obvious buyers, but they are not the only ones. Seaside kiosks use printed sheets to make a small hatch look established. Pubs that run a fish Friday menu wrap portions in branded paper and serve them in enamel trays for a casual look. Food vans that trade at markets and events want something that photographs well, because customers post their food online before they take a bite.

Caterers who serve fish and chips at weddings and parties also order short runs with the couple's names or an event logo. Because minimums are quoted per job, a one-off run for a single event is possible, and you can come back later for your everyday sheets in a different design.

Fish and chip shops that also do a takeaway delivery round find printed paper useful in a different way. When the parcel is opened at home, the branding is the first thing on the kitchen table, which keeps your name in mind next time the family argues about where to order from. A phone number or web address printed along one edge turns the wrapper into a menu card nobody has to remember to pick up. Cafés with a basket service often add printed food basket liners to the same order.

Ordering Tips Before You Send Artwork

Start with the sizes and the grade, then think about the design. Send us the sheet dimensions, how many you use in a typical week and whether the paper is a full wrap or a liner. We reply with a custom quote by email within one working day, with prices from £0.25 depending on size and quantity, and suggest any changes that could make the job cheaper.

Once you approve the proof, production takes 4–7 working days, and delivery to UK mainland addresses is free and tracked, normally arriving in 2–3 working days. Order enough to cover your busiest weeks plus a buffer, because running out on a Friday and falling back to plain paper undoes the effort. If anything arrives misprinted or damaged, tell us within 10 days and we reprint or refund it. The full food wrapping papers range lists the other sheets you can print alongside your chip paper.
