Liner Papers & Interleaving

Liner and interleaving materials let sliced meats, cheese and other cut products be presented neatly, stacked and taken out one portion at a time. This subcategory contains three items with clearly different roles. The white 25 × 37.5 cm food liner paper in greaseproof paper is used for presentation in counters and displays and for wrapping. The 15 × 15 cm wax-coated interleaving paper goes between slices of meat, cheese and sausage and stops them sticking. The 20 × 20 cm deli interleaving sheets in HDPE film are translucent and grease-resistant.

Typical buyers are butchers, cheesemongers, deli and serviced counters in food retail, and businesses that pre-portion and pack sliced products.

Typical applications

• Lining counter trays and platters at the serviced counter
• Interleaving at the slicing machine
• Stacking pre-portioned slices for retail and catering
• Wrapping goods for the customer

What to look for when buying

Choose by task first. The large white liner paper suits presentation and wrapping, while the smaller formats are for separating individual slices. If slices should stay visible through the interleaf, the translucent HDPE sheets are the right choice; the wax paper is designed to stop slices sticking together.

Pack size differs as well. The liner paper comes 500 sheets to a pack and the wax paper 1,000; the HDPE sheets are supplied 10,000 to a carton, which is also the minimum order. For a single counter with moderate usage the paper packs are usually easier to handle, while the HDPE cartons suit larger-scale pre-portioning.
