Make baking easier and cleanup simpler with printed parchment paper! 🍪 Give your baked goods a professional touch with custom designs from Print On Papers. Perfect for bakeries, cafés, and food businesses.
Printed parchment paper lines baking trays, releases baked goods without sticking, and keeps pans clean, while carrying your logo on every sheet. For bakeries and cafes, that means faster cleanup and a branded look from the oven to the display case. Here’s how to choose the right weight, size, and print style. You can see the full specs on the Custom Parchment Paper page at Print On Papers.
What Is Printed Parchment Paper?
Printed parchment paper is baking paper made with a food-grade silicone coating and printed with your own artwork. Print On Papers makes it from virgin cellulose wood pulp that’s been parchmentized, which is an acid treatment that makes the fibers dense and heat-resistant. The silicone coating, applied to one or both sides, gives it a non-stick surface.
It comes as flat pre-cut sheets or custom rolls, in bleached white or unbleached natural brown, and you set the dimensions in inches.
Why Do Bakers Use It?
Bakers use parchment because food releases cleanly, pans stay clean, and cleanup takes seconds. Cookies lift off without breaking, sticky dough doesn’t weld to the tray, and nobody scrubs burnt sugar off a sheet pan at closing time.
- Non-stick release for cookies, croissants, bread, and sticky bakes
- Easy cleanup, since the pan under the paper stays clean
- Grease and moisture resistance from the silicone coating
- Hygiene, since food sits on a fresh sheet instead of a worn pan
- Branding, because your logo shows when the tray hits the display case
Is It Different From Wax Paper or Greaseproof Paper?
Yes, and the main difference is heat. Parchment is built for the oven, while wax and butter papers aren’t.
| Paper | Oven safe? | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Parchment paper | Yes, up to about 446°F | Baking, roasting, lining trays |
| Greaseproof paper | Check the specific product | Wrapping hot, oily food, lining baskets |
| Wax paper | No | Wrapping, candy, cold or room-temperature items |
| Butter paper | Check the specific product | Wrapping butter, lining pans lightly |
Print On Papers lists its parchment as safe for conventional ovens, microwave ovens, and air fryers.
What Weight Should You Choose?
Paper weight is measured in GSM, and a higher number means thicker, sturdier paper. The page lists two grades.
| Grade | GSM | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 35–60 | Everyday baking, tray lining, wrapping |
| Heavy-duty commercial | 70–90 | High-volume kitchens, repeated handling, heavy loads |
A cafe lining a few trays a day can use standard weight. A busy bakery running oven cycles all day should look at the heavy-duty grade.
What Size Should You Order?
Match the paper to your pans, then leave a small overhang so it’s easy to lift. Common US baking pan sizes include:
- Full sheet pan: about 26Ă—18″
- Half sheet pan: about 18Ă—13″
- Quarter sheet pan: about 13Ă—9″
- Round cake pans: 8″ or 9″ across
You can order any custom size, so measure the pans you actually use, and order one size per pan type. Pre-cut sheets save time on a busy line, while rolls suit kitchens that cut to different sizes.
How Should You Design Printed Parchment?
Keep the design simple, because the sheet will bake, brown at the edges, and get handled with flour on your hands. A repeating logo or a small pattern looks good across the whole tray, while a single large logo may get hidden under the food.
Print On Papers prints in full-color CMYK and offers Pantone matching for exact brand colors. Flexographic printing suits high-volume orders, and digital printing suits short runs and fine detail. The inks are soy-based or water-based, and the page states they hold through handling and heat. You get a flat digital proof first, a physical sample on request, and free design support if you only have a basic logo.
Is It Food Safe?
It should be, and you should ask for the documents. Print On Papers states that its parchment meets FDA 21 CFR direct food-contact standards, is FSC-certified, and uses food-safe inks. If you bake with printed paper, ask your supplier for the heat and food-contact documentation for your exact order.
Are There Eco-Friendly Options?
Yes. The page lists a chlorine-free process, recyclable options, and compostable variants. If you print “recyclable” or “compostable” on your packaging, keep the wording accurate. The FTC’s Green Guides set the rules for environmental claims, so confirm what your exact paper qualifies for.
How Long Does It Take?
Plan on about 6–7 business days for printing and 4–5 business days for shipping, plus time to approve your proof. The quote form offers Standard (10–15 days) or Express (6–8 days) shipping, and shipping is free. The U.S. Small Business Administration notes that supplier lead times are a common pressure point for small businesses, so reorder before you run low, especially ahead of holiday baking season.
What Does It Cost?
Price depends on paper weight, sheet size, number of print colors (1, 2, or 4), and quantity. Larger orders lower the cost per sheet. Ask for a full quote with every cost listed, and confirm the minimum quantity when you request it.
