butter paper) that is printed using

Key Features of Food Grade Ink Butter Paper:
-
Food Grade Ink:
- Food-grade inks are inks that are specifically formulated to be safe for direct contact with food. These inks are made from non-toxic, non-harmful materials and are compliant with food safety standards, such as those set by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) or EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).
- These inks are designed to not contaminate the food they come in contact with, ensuring that no harmful chemicals leach into the food.
-
Greaseproof and Non-stick:
- The butter paper is treated to be greaseproof (resistant to oils and fats), making it ideal for wrapping or packaging greasy food products like burgers, fries, or pastries.
- It often has a coating (e.g., wax, silicone) that prevents the oils and fats from soaking through the paper and keeps the food clean and intact.
-
White or Brown Butter Paper:
- The paper can be either white or brown (kraft paper), depending on the brand or the intended use. White butter paper is often chosen for its clean and professional appearance, while brown butter paper has a rustic, more eco-friendly aesthetic.
-
Printed Branding and Design:
- Food-grade ink allows for the printing of logos, brand names, or other designs directly onto the paper. This makes it an excellent choice for businesses looking to promote their brand while providing functional packaging.
- The ink adheres well to the paper without compromising the integrity of the papers greaseproof properties.
-
Customization:
- Businesses can customize their butter paper with designs or logos, which is commonly seen in restaurants, food trucks, cafes, and takeaway food packaging. It serves as both a branding tool and a protective wrap for the food.
