Wholesale Greaseproof Paper for UK Trade Buyers
Sheets, rolls and pre-cut quires all in stock
The greaseproof paper range covers the formats that foodservice and bakery operations rotate fastest — pre-cut quires in 9×7", 9×14" and 14×18" packs sized to standard tray formats, sheet packs in 380×275mm and 450×350mm for deli wrapping, and bulk rolls for in-house cut-to-size operations. Pallet quantities for the SKUs that move fastest in bakery and takeaway rotation are held in the Newcastle warehouse, with inventory visible on every product page so trade buyers can size orders against live stock.
Greaseproof paper certified for direct food contact
Every greaseproof paper specification in the range is food-contact safe under UK and EU Regulation 1935/2004, with silicone-coated stock rated oven-safe to 220°C and approved for direct-heat baking, grease-barrier and deli-wrap use. The Purewrap own-label additionally carries BRCGS certification for trade buyers filing supplier documentation against HACCP requirements. Coating, GSM and pack-size specs are listed on each product page; certification documents accompany trade-account orders or can be supplied on request.
No minimum order on the greaseproof paper range
Westbids does not operate minimum order quantities on greaseproof paper — a single quire ships at the same trade pricing as a pallet quantity, with no surcharge or set-up fee. Bulk orders earn tiered discounts on pallet quantities. Free local delivery applies on trade orders over £99 within the Newcastle delivery zone; UK-wide next-day delivery is available at checkout at standard courier rates. Trade accounts unlock volume pricing automatically at checkout; pricing tiers apply across every order without re-quoting.
Greaseproof paper vs parchment vs baking paper — three formats, three jobs
Trade buyers often see the three terms used interchangeably, but the foodservice job each one does is different:
- Greaseproof paper — pulp is mechanically refined to close fibre gaps, producing a grease-resistant barrier. Best for cold-food wrapping, deli counters, basket liners, sandwich and burger wraps. Uncoated greaseproof is not oven-safe.
- Parchment paper — silicone-coated greaseproof. Non-stick and oven-safe to 220°C. Best for direct-heat baking, lining trays, and twice-use baking sessions where stick-free release matters.
- Baking paper — used in UK foodservice as a synonym for parchment (silicone-coated, oven-safe). On product labels the two terms are interchangeable; check GSM and silicone-coating spec rather than the name.
The Westbids silicone-coated greaseproof stock crosses all three roles — grease-resistant for cold wrap, non-stick and oven-safe to 220°C for baking. Uncoated stock is held alongside it for operations only wrapping cold food.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the minimum order?
There is no minimum order on the greaseproof paper range — buy a single quire or order by the pallet. The same trade pricing applies in either case, with no small-order surcharge. Volume tiers add discount on pallet quantities; full pricing breakpoints are visible after registering a trade account.
Is the greaseproof paper food-contact certified?
Yes — every item complies with UK and EU Regulation 1935/2004 for food-contact materials. Silicone-coated sheets are oven-safe to 220°C and approved for direct-heat use. The Purewrap own-label additionally carries BRCGS certification, and documents can be supplied on request for HACCP and supplier-audit files.
Is greaseproof paper the same as parchment or baking paper?
No — though the terms are often used interchangeably. Greaseproof paper is grease-resistant by mechanical refining of the pulp (no coating). Parchment paper adds a silicone coating for non-stick and oven-safe properties. Baking paper, in UK foodservice usage, is a synonym for parchment — silicone-coated and oven-safe. Westbids' silicone-coated stock functions across all three roles (grease-resistant for wrap-and-deli use; oven-safe to 220°C for baking). Uncoated greaseproof is suited to cold-food wrapping only.
How fast does greaseproof paper ship?
Orders placed before 1pm dispatch the same working day from Newcastle. Free local delivery applies on trade orders over £99 within the Newcastle delivery zone; UK-wide orders ship on a paid next-day courier service charged at checkout.
