Custom Parchment Paper

Parchment paper is one of the most commonly used paper in the kitchen. The non-stick and heat-resistant nature of the paper makes it a tool of paramount importance in the kitchen. Brands get the paper with custom printed features such as logos and other branding information to promote themselves and increase the personalized appearance of their food items.

At our company, we manufacture custom parchment paper with one of the finest quality materials and with the use of advanced manufacturing facilities so that you can get the best of all packaging paper. Not only this, with the free customization option and free of cost shipping, we help you save a lot of bucks on the customization of papers.

Key Characteristics of Parchment Paper

The reason why many people use parchment paper is that this paper has remarkable resistance to heat. There are several features that make parchment sheets significantly different from other custom food wrapping paper, such as:

Non-Stick Surface

This paper is treated with silicone and sulphuric acid that modify its surface and make it naturally non-stick. This feature eliminates the need for additional greasing of the paper when one has to bake or wrap food.

Heat Resistance

Standard paper burns approximately 451°F (233°C) however, parchment packaging paper can withstand a temperature of 450°F (232°C) without burning or melting. This makes it an ideal option for oven use.

Grease And Moisture Resistance

Grease and moisture resistance is one of the most vital features of parchment packaging paper that make it an excellent alternative to greaseproof paper. So when you pack oily and moist food, the paper does not break.

Mechanical Strength And Durability

A high-end manufacturing process is used to produce printed parchment paper which is why its durability and tear-resistance are much more than regular paper. The high durability ensures that paper can be used under high temperatures.

Manufacturing Process

In the manufacturing of printed parchment paper for baking, the primary material is softwood pulp, which contains long cellulose fibers. These finer contribute to the durability and strength of the final paper. The softwood pulp is mixed with hardwood pulp to get the desired texture of the paper. The following steps are involved:

Pulping Process

Wood is gained with the help of mechanical grinders. At the end of this process, the material contains a high concentration of lignin. Due to the high concentration of lignin, the resulting paper is less flexible and lower in quality. To enhance the quality of the paper, the wood is further broken down with the help of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulphide. These chemicals dissolve the lignin, separate the cellulose fibers, and yield stronger and higher-quality paper.

Beating And Refining

As parchment paper wholesale manufacturers, we make sure that you get the finest quality paper, which is why, to further improve the quality of paper, we beat and refine it to alter the fiber structure and improve its bonding. Beating and refining ensure that the fibers form a uniform and consistent paper sheet.

Sheet Formation

To make parchment paper sheets, the pulp is spread onto a moving wire mesh conveyor. Here, the extra water is drained, and the fibre forms a cohesive sheet. This happens in three steps:

• The pulp is spread on a wire mesh so that extra water can be drained.
• The sheet is passed through rollers that squeeze out additional moisture.
• The heated rollers evaporate the excessive moisture leaving behind the dry sheet.

Calendering

Calendaring is a process in which paper is passed to smooth rollers that refine the surface area of the paper and ensure a uniform thickness. This step improves the structure of the paper and makes it perfect for printing.

Chemical Treatment (Sulfuric Acid Bath)

The unique features of parchment paper are due to its treatment with sulfuric acid. The paper is briefly dipped in the sulfuric acid batch that partially dissolves the outer cellulose fibers and creates a little gel layer on the surface. This paper strengthens the paper and makes it resistant to moisture and heat while also enhancing its non-stick properties.

Neutralization And Washing

We keep in mind the safety of the customers and remove all the chemicals from the paper used in the manufacturing process. To remove acid, we treat the paper with an alkaline solution that neutralizes the acid. After this, the paper is washed to remove residues.

Drying And Coating

After the neutralization process, the paper is dried and coated with silicone. The silicone layer further enhances the non-stick structure of the paper and also makes it more resistant to heat. Silicone coating forms a hydrophobic and lipophobic layer that prevents food and grease from adhering to the surface of the paper.

Chemicals Used In Parchment Paper Production

Though we make sure that no hazardous chemical is used in the manufacturer of parchment sheets nonetheless to impart the specific non-stick properties the material has to be treated with a small amount of chemicals. We thoroughly wash the paper so that no chemical remain in the final products. Mainly acid and base are used and that too are removed by neutralization. We use the following chemicals:

• Sulfuric Acid
• Sodium Hydroxide
• Silicone Coating
• Bleaching Agents

Printings 

The overall look of the paper is not only based on the selection of material but also on the selection of printing processes. At our company we use for grade inks to give an attractive look to the paper and use advance manufacturing facilities that yield paper designs in a few seconds so that you do not have to wait for long duration to get your custom parchment paper with the logo and brand specification. We use the below-mentioned printing options:

• Offset printing
• Screen printing
• Digital printing
• Flexography

Physical Identification Of Parchment Paper 

One of the most common problems that many customers face is the identification of a specific custom food wrap. The relevant physical appearance of all the custom papers such as wax paper and deli paper make it slightly an arduous task to identify the paper. You can sue the following guideline to understand how to physically identify the parchment paper:

• Smooth yet slightly rough texture due to parchmentization process
• Semi-translucent appearance when held up in light.
• Matte look when uncoated and slight sheen when coated with silicone
