Custom Hot Paper

Manufacturing Process

Hot paper’s main quality lies within its ability to retain hot temperature, oil, and moisture. So, its manufacturing heavily focuses on thermal stability and fibre density. A food-safe and high strength virgin wood pulp is selected for the manufacturing of the hot paper. We make sure that these fibres stay stable under heat, form a tightly bonded sheet structure, and are able to stand high heat without releasing any harmful chemicals. This gives the paper a sturdy and reliable foundation.

Thermal Strength Refining

This is the most important step in the production of the hot paper. The pulp is moved into refining units and the fibres are intensely micro-fibrillated. This refinement process aims at increasing the internal bond strength, creating heat tolerant and compact sheets, and reducing porosity so that oil doesn’t easily seep through.

Hot-Paper Base Machine

The pulp is mixed with water and a continuous sheet is formed on the forming screen. As the sheet takes a form, pressing rollers compress the fibres to interlock them, remove extra water, and create a dense foundation layer.

Thermal Drying

The sheet is further heated in drying cylinders. This process is carefully controlled so that during water evaporation the fibres don’t burn. Also , their stability remains intact for heat-contact usage, and prevents weakness or curling in the sheet structure.

Barrier Enhancement

To make paper completely suitable for hot food items, a suitable food-safe layer is applied. All the coatings that are used are naturally produced in the environment or are biodegradable materials. They may include:

• CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) treatment
• Plant-based polymer coating
• Natural scratch blends
• Wax-free resistant coating

These coatings form an extra protective layer that absorbs steam and keeps food warm without making the paper soggy.

Finishing

The paper is passed through finishing rollers that makes the surface of the paper smooth and gives it a shiny and glossy finish. This step also enhances the flexibility and print clarity of the paper.

Custom Printing

Once the base is ready heat stable inks are used for printing. Flexographic or UV printing systems are used which helps in the provision of smudge-proof and vibrant colors that exactly match the colors of your designs.

Packaging

The paper is cut into sheets or rolled for dispensers. Every batch is packed keeping in view the food safety measurements and standards.

Engineered For Warm and Better Wrapping

Custom hot sheet sheets have one ability that the other food wrapping paper lacks. And this ability is a little superior because it helps to keep food warm. That is made possible with the addition of a Thermal retention layer. This is a specialized heat-holding barrier which is applied during the manufacturing of the paper. This layer helps in maintaining the internal temperature of the food, without trapping extra moisture. The food remains warm under this wrap and doesn’t lose its appeal and taste.

This layer doesn’t completely seal the food but rather creates a controlled insulation system.This heat retention ability is mostly absent in custom printed kraft paper, and is mildly present in greaseproof paper and sandwich paper. Nobody likes their food cold, and certainly not everyone has time to eat their food then and there. So for that scenario, hot paper is the ideal choice for brands where they can serve food with all its qualities, even the warmth.

Your Brand Meets Design Precision

Uses of Hot Food Paper

This paper is a prime choice for multiple food service applications. It is specifically to endure warmth and preserve it without making the food or paper soggy. This paper doesn’t break apart easily and hence an ideal option for takeaways as well. It is commonly used for wrapping breakfast rolls, burgers, sandwiches, or paninis. It keeps the food warm without oil seepage. In cafes and bakeries, it is used to line baked goods and hot pastries to maintain presentation and freshness. Food trucks and quick-service restaurants majorly use this paper to serve wraps, fries, tenders, or anything as it is a convenient paper for a grab-and-go experience. Its heat retention property makes it a crucial part for any food serving industry. This versatility makes it essential across takeaway, dine-in and different delivery settings.
