Quality and Grade
- Premium silicone-coated grades work best with sticky pastry.
- Standard grades suit general food wrapping and presentation.
- Consider using baking parchment for higher temperature ovens.
How Commercial Greaseproof Paper Works
The magic of greaseproof paper lies in its specially treated cellulose fibres. These fibres undergo a process called 'beating' which creates a dense, non-porous structure that naturally resists oils and fats. Some premium grades receive additional silicone coating for enhanced non-stick properties. When food containing oils or fats sits on the surface, the paper creates a protective barrier that prevents seepage—keeping your food items separate from surfaces and maintaining presentation. The heat resistance (typically up to 220°C) comes from these tightly packed fibres, allowing it to withstand oven temperatures without burning while still keeping baked goods from sticking.

"Greaseproof paper might seem like a small detail, but it’s a game-changer for presentation and mess-free service—especially for takeaways and street food. Go for quality sheets that won’t soak through or tear, and your food will look as good as it tastes all the way to the customer."
Safety Guidelines
- Temperature Limits Never exceed 220°C—prevents burning and smoke.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Greaseproof Paper
For maximum efficiency in your food service operation, cut roll-format paper to size in advance during prep time—this saves precious minutes during service. When baking, ensure sheets extend slightly beyond the tin edges for easy lifting once done. For wrapping sandwiches or burgers, fold corners neatly and secure with branded stickers for a professional finish. If using for high-fat items like pastries, choose silicone-coated parchment rather than standard greaseproof for better release properties.

- Reduced Cleaning Protects equipment and surfaces—cuts cleaning time dramatically.
