Which paper is best for oily food?

Oil spoils packaging fast. Here is how to match the paper to your product.

Start with how oily your product is

Dry items like spices or coffee need little more than a clean, strong pouch. Items with ghee, oil or butter, such as mithai, namkeen, samosas and pastries, need paper that resists grease so the oil does not show through.

The main options

Imported OGR paper is pure grease-proof and made for oily foods. It is a good choice for very oily sweets and snacks.

Imported white and brown paper offer moderate grease resistance, which suits items that are only lightly oily.

Butter paper (35–60 GSM) is grease-resistant and food-safe, and is widely used to wrap or line baked goods and sweets.

Think about presentation too

White paper shows print colours brightly. Brown and kraft shades feel natural and handmade. Light shade Indian paper is a lower-cost option for everyday use. The right paper balances grease resistance, look and price.

Not sure? Send us your product
