Specification for Wax Paper

Specification Project input
Sheet or roll dimensions Give finished width, length or repeat and the way the material is dispensed.
Paper or backing grade Identify the substrate and relevant surface treatment for wrapping, printing or sealing.
Print repeat Provide motif spacing, orientation and how the repeat should appear on the finished pack.
Adhesive or contact requirements Identify what touches the product and which surfaces must bond, release or remain clean.
Packing and storage conditions Describe dispensing, handling and storage so the material is reviewed for its actual use.
Quantity Quantity per style, size and artwork design. Standard MOQ is 500 pieces; higher quantities may apply.
Artwork PDF, AI or CDR artwork where available; JPG/PNG references and Excel specifications can support the brief. Files are reviewed for their intended use.
Delivery Destination, target date and whether packaging should arrive assembled or flat, where applicable.

Paper, backing and contact requirements

The quotation confirms the selected grade and compatible options.

Material option Specification and confirmation
Paper construction Request the actual wax paper grade for the stated use. Specify food type, contact duration and any temperature conditions.
Treatment and contact face Identify the required grease, release or other surface behaviour. Confirm the proposed treatment and which face contacts the food.
Printing compatibility Review inks, print face and coverage with the chosen paper and stated use before approving artwork.

Wrapping dimensions and supply format

Finished dimensions, wrap overlap and the surface that meets the contents.

  • Measurement reference: Give units and label product, internal or external dimensions. Include a drawing or reference sample if available.
  • Multiple sizes: List quantities by size. A size change may require a revised structure, artwork or sample.

Custom size planning

Coated surface and print requirements

Discuss the printed face with the wax treatment and actual contact requirements.

Print preparation Specification and confirmation
Print areas Mark printed faces, unprinted areas, text and codes. The material and order requirements determine the printing method.
Colour reference Provide CMYK artwork or a Pantone reference where available. Approve colour on the agreed material and sample; screen previews show layout.
Files and versions Send PDF, AI or CDR artwork if available; JPG/PNG references and Excel specifications or data can support the brief. Files are reviewed before production.

Printed surface and pattern options

Availability depends on the material, structure and intended use.

  • Surface behaviour: Describe the required release, grease resistance or handling behaviour for the actual application. Confirm it on the chosen paper.
  • Printed face and pattern: Specify printed or plain supply and the side on which the design is intended to appear. Review contact conditions before selecting the print treatment.
  • Use-specific evidence: Share the destination and intended use so applicable material documentation can be reviewed. The product name is not a substitute for that assessment.

Discuss the appropriate customization

Sheet, roll and packing format

Identify the coating, food or product contact and temperature exposure. Do not treat a wax coating as interchangeable with a baking-paper surface.

Define the intended wrapping and handling conditions; confirm the wax-paper construction and avoid assuming suitability for heating.

  • Working layout: Send a drawing, reference or actual product. Identify fixed requirements and options to compare.
  • Supply and assembly: State sheet or roll supply, pack counts and the direction in which the material will be dispensed or unwrapped.
  • Component matching: For a multi-part pack, list component sizes, assembly order and which parts the quotation includes.

Packout and shipping planning

Sample checks: wax coating and temperature exposure

Check handling, folding and coating behaviour under the intended conditions. Obtain the appropriate material information before specifying direct contact or heat exposure.

Choose the right sample stage

  • Structural sample: Check dimensions, assembly, fit and opening or application with the actual contents where relevant.
  • Printed sample: Check print areas, colour and finish. Record any differences between the sample process and bulk production.
  • Production reference: Approve the sample and artwork version before production. Recheck affected parts after changes to dimensions, materials or functional components.

Sample fees, shipping and timing are quoted per project. A visual proof cannot replace physical checks.

Quotation, approval and production

Confirm the brief and quotation

Agree quantities by size and artwork, materials, printing, finishes, components, and any tooling or assembly charges.

Approve samples and files

Record the approved sample and artwork. Scheduling follows the required sample, artwork, deposit and order confirmations.

Produce and inspect

Agree inspection methods and acceptance criteria for materials, dimensions, print, appearance and relevant assembly or fit.

Pack and deliver

Production and transit times are assessed separately. Confirm the destination, transport arrangement and delivery responsibilities.
