Custom Shawarma Wrapping Paper

Printing Custom Shawarma Wrapping Paper

Wraps are seen up close, in the hand, often photographed for social media. A repeating pattern with your logo, a bold border or a simple illustration of your grill can turn a plain wrap into something people remember.

Most shops use one or two colours printed in a repeating design, which keeps costs sensible and makes sure the logo shows wherever the paper is folded. Full-colour prints are possible on greaseproof and coated stocks and suit brands with a strong visual style.

Think about the colours of your food too. Warm reds, deep greens and black look striking against golden bread and fresh salad. Very pale designs can look washed out once sauce has touched them. Food-contact grade inks and paper are available on request, and we will confirm options for your chosen stock. How a single colour sits on kraft and white is shown in our one colour print on paper compared guide.

Sheet Sizes and How to Choose

The right sheet size depends on the size of your wraps and how you fold them. A standard flatbread shawarma needs a sheet large enough to wrap round once with a little overlap and fold at the bottom to catch drips. Larger platter wraps and family portions need bigger sheets.

A practical approach is to wrap your most popular item in a few different sheet sizes before ordering, and see which feels best in the hand. Too small and the bottom leaks; too large and the excess paper gets in the way.

Some shops order two sizes: a standard sheet for wraps and a larger one for lining trays or wrapping mixed grill portions. Ordering both with the same design keeps the brand consistent across the menu.

Remember that sheet size also affects how many fit on your counter. Large sheets need more space to lay flat, so if your prep area is tight, a slightly smaller sheet folded with care may be the more practical choice. Burgers from the same grill use the smaller squares on our burger wrapping paper in smaller squares.

Pockets, Sleeves and Half Wraps

Not every shop wraps the whole shawarma. A half-wrap pocket or sleeve covers the bottom half of the wrap, leaving the top open to eat. It is quicker to use, needs less paper and works well for shops serving a lot of takeaway at lunchtime.

Pockets can be made from greaseproof or foil-lined paper, printed in the same way as sheets. They are especially popular for wraps eaten on the spot, where customers want to start eating straight away.

If you serve both full wraps and sandwiches in pitta, a single pocket size may cover both. Tell us your menu and we will suggest a size that does the most jobs.

Pockets also stack neatly in a dispenser beside the grill, so staff can pull one out with a single hand while holding the wrap in the other. In a busy kitchen, that small saving of movement adds up over a long shift. Eat-in orders served in a basket use our food basket liners for eat-in.

Using Branded Paper Across the Shop

Once you have printed paper, it can do more than wrap shawarma. Larger sheets line trays and baskets for chips and mixed grills. Smaller sheets wrap falafel, burgers and pittas. Using one design throughout gives the shop a joined-up look, both at the counter and in photos posted by customers.

For delivery orders, wrapping each item in printed paper before it goes into the bag keeps your brand in view when the order arrives, especially if it comes via a third-party app where your name might otherwise be lost.

Catering for events is another use. Branded wraps at a festival stall or private function make even a temporary setup look established, and guests remember where their food came from. Cold sides and salads at the counter are wrapped in deli paper for the counter.

Wrap a Full Shawarma and See Where the Sheet Runs Out

Sheet size is the whole brief for shawarma paper, so wrap your largest wrap in a plain sheet of the size you have in mind and see whether the ends close and the logo lands on the outside. If the sheet runs out before the ends fold, go up a size; if a third of it is wasted, come down. Settle that, then choose the paper: foil-lined for wraps that travel on delivery bikes, plain greaseproof for eat-in and quick takeaways. Decide the print, a single colour logo in a repeat pattern is the usual choice, and whether a white underprint is needed on kraft. Say if you also want pockets or half sheets for falafel and sides. Artwork is a vector logo and the repeat spacing, and the free proof shows the pattern at full size. A custom quote comes by email within one working day with sheets from £0.25 on smaller printed runs, and sheets are produced in 4–7 working days after approval with free tracked UK mainland delivery. Orders that go out in a box rather than a wrap use our shawarma boxes for delivery orders.
