Applications
Butter paper for interleaving
Stack food without paper and the layers stick. A square of butter paper between each layer lets you lift one portion off cleanly.
01 / The job
What interleaving does for food
Raw patties, tikkis, kebabs, parathas and cookies stick together in a stack. Interleaving puts a sheet between each layer, so each portion comes off whole.
Our grade pages list interleaving among the main uses of butter paper, on the roll and as sheets.

03 / Type
Which butter paper type
All three of our butter paper types are food-grade: silicone-coated, vegetable parchment and greaseproof uncoated. Any of the three interleaves.
For release on sticky raw dough, pick the silicone-coated type. For oily layers, use OGR.
We have not tested our papers in freezers, so we make no freezer claim. Trial a stack in your own cold store first.
04 / Size
Cutting the squares
A square a little larger than the portion keeps the edges apart. For a 100 mm patty, a 120 mm square works.
One 300×400 mm sheet cuts into twelve 100×100 mm squares, or six 130×130 mm squares with trim. For a large run, cut squares from a roll on a guillotine.
05 / Ordering
Order sizes and lead times
Butter paper sheets start at 10,000 per size and GSM, with 2 to 4 weeks after size approval. For bulk orders, we quote custom sizes, including small squares.
Butter paper rolls start at 1 retail roll, or 250 kg per width and GSM in bulk. In-stock rolls ship in 2 to 5 working days.
