Foil against the food, paper in the hand

The foil layer faces the food, the paper stays outside. Foil traps heat and blocks grease from soaking through; the paper outer stays cool enough to grip and fold, so staff handle a hot burger or doner without the sheet turning slick. At 12 x 12 inch it wraps a burger, kebab, hot sandwich or a chip-shop portion.

Heat retention and grease barrier

Food-contact certified under EU Regulation 1935/2004. The foil side is a grease and moisture barrier — sauce and oil stay in the wrap rather than bleeding into the paper. Heat retention holds a hot item through a counter queue or short delivery leg. Not oven-safe — the paper layer rules that out. Microwave: no. 500 sheets per case — a full-volume case for sites wrapping through the day rather than a trial quantity.

A composite — and what that trades away

Foil laminated to paper cannot be separated back into its two materials, so no recycling claim is made for this wrap. What the laminate buys is the paper outer — a grippable, foldable surface bare foil does not give. For sheets that do recycle through the metal stream, the pre-cut aluminium foil sheets are the alternative.

Frequently asked questions

Which side goes against the food?

The foil side — it reflects heat back into the item and stops grease reaching the paper, keeping the outside dry enough to hold.

Are these sheets recyclable?

No recycling claim is made. The foil and paper are laminated together and cannot be separated for either the metal or the paper stream. Operators who need a recyclable wrap should look at pure aluminium sheets instead.
