Applications
Paper for ghee and butter packaging
Butter and ghee are fat, and fat soaks through plain paper. Wrap butter blocks in vegetable parchment or OGR. Line cartons of ghee-rich sweets and snacks with OGR.
01 / The job
What the paper has to do
A butter block needs a wrap holding the fat in and keeping the outside clean on the shelf. A box of ghee-rich pinni or ladoo needs a liner keeping the ghee off the carton.
Liquid ghee itself goes in jars, tins and pouches. Paper does the wrapping and lining around ghee-rich food, not the containing of liquid ghee.

03 / Butter blocks
Wrapping butter blocks
Butter makers wrap blocks in vegetable parchment or in foil laminated to paper. The laminate adds a barrier to light and air.
We supply the paper, not foil laminates. Order vegetable parchment butter paper in sheets cut to your wrap size, or OGR in sheets of 300×400, 400×600 or 500×700 mm.
04 / Ghee sweets
Lining boxes of ghee sweets
Cut OGR to the base of the box and lay the sweets on the sheet. The barrier keeps ghee off the carton board.
For a dry sweet such as barfi, a sheet of butter paper does the job. For ghee-heavy pinni, ladoo and halwa, use OGR.
05 / Testing
Test with your own product
Fat content, temperature and shelf time differ between products. We do not publish KIT values for our OGR yet.
Order samples, wrap your own butter or sweets, and leave them for your normal shelf time before you fix a grade and weight.

Order sizes and lead times

Questions
Before you specify
Which paper is used to wrap butter?
Vegetable parchment, or foil laminated to paper. We supply vegetable parchment butter paper and OGR, not foil laminates.
Is OGR paper good for ghee sweets?
Yes. OGR holds a grease barrier where a plain sheet darkens through. Test with your own sweets before you fix a weight.
Does paper hold liquid ghee?
No. Liquid ghee goes in jars, tins or pouches. Paper wraps and lines ghee-rich food.
