Custom Freezer Paper To Retain Food Freshness

Freezing food is one of the arduous tasks that need care and expertise. This is because, at freeing temperature, you may inhibit the growth of bacteria, but you may lose the food quality due to a moist environment. However, using freezer paper can prevent the deterioration of food products.

This paper is designed specifically to keep the food items at freezing temperatures. The moisture-resistant ability and durability of the paper make it a perfect option for storing perishable food products. Apart from this, by using freezer paper roll, you can give an exceptional promotional tool to your brand that will help you get maximum sales with a little investment.

Features Of Freezer Paper 

As the name of the paper indicates, it is used to wrap meat and other perishable food items. This is a heavy-duty paper and has a specialized coating that allows long in the moisture inside the food while preventing external moisture from entering the food. Not only this, the non-porous surface areas of packaging paper provided a stronger barrier to the food, preventing freezer burns that can happen when you pack using plastic or parchment paper. Some of the key characteristics of the paper are as follows:

• Moisture resistance preserves the quality and texture of food
• Smooth surface
• Oxygen resistance due to non-porous surface
• Branding due to printed artwork
• Food safe

We Manufacture Only Quality 

In the production of printed freezer paper, both chemical and mechanical processes are involved to ensure the production of high-quality paper food protection under low temperatures. The chemical and mechanical processes involved are as follows:

Chemical Process

The first step is pulping, in which cellulose is extracted from raw material. In this process, we use sodium hydroxide or sulfite to break down the lignin into cellulose fibers. These fibers are cleansed and refined to get a smooth paste.

Coating Application

After pulping, we apply coating on the paper, which is mostly polyethylene, but wax coating can also be applied. These coatings enhance the barrier properties of custom freezer paper, making it resistant to tearing and preventing freezer burns.

Bleaching And Refining

Brands usually prefer white paper, which is why we treat the rustic color freezer packaging paper with bleaching agents. Our bleaching process is done under controlled conditions, so there is no safety or food hazard. After this, the paper is again refined for more strength. Butcher freezer paper can be used in un-bleached form, but this paper is not suitable for smoking meat.

Mechanical Process

In the mechanical process, pulping is the first step, and the wood fiber is mixed with water to form a slurry. This slurry is then transferred into sheets or rolls. The slurry is pressed between rollers, and excessive water is removed to form a continuous sheet.

Calendaring

Calendaring is a process in which paper is passed through a store of rollers that smooth and compress the fibers tightly. This process gives freezer paper sheets a uniform texture and requires flexibility so that irregular-shaped food can be packed with ease.

Lamination 

Custom food wrapping paper used for freezers has to withstand a constantly moist environment; therefore, polyethylene or wax coating is applied to the paper, which adds strength and durability. If you have to use freezer paper for bulk applications, then the application of additional coatings is a must.

Add-Ons Used On Freezer Paper

Several additives and features are added to freezer paper wholesale that enhance the functionality of the paper and make it suitable for various applications. At our company, we have a customer-centric approach that binds us to provide what our customers like. Some customers need packaging that can protect from microbes, some want to promote the brand via printed designs, and some need easy-to-tear paper.

Printing Methods Suitable For Freezer Paper

At our company, we understand the importance of printing on the packaging, which is why we give you custom printed freezer paper by selecting only one of the best and most suitable printing methods. Some of the printing methods are more suitable than others due to the presence of coatings on freezer packaging sheets, such as:

Offset Printing

This printing method is useful only for high-volume papers. This is an ideal option that allows you to get images and text with crisp details. Specifically, if you need repetitive designs such as logos and other branding information, offset printing is an ideal option.

Flexographic Printing

This is also a common option used in the printing of custom food wrapping papers, which allows you to get the best and the most alluring designs of the paper. This gives vibrant designs and detailed images in bulk amounts.

Screen Printing

Screen printing is a good option when customers are looking for bold and vibrant designs. This printing method is not suited for detail and fine-line printing. However, if you need printing that contains a simple yet bold color design and you need to order in small amounts, then this is an ideal option.

Digital Printing

Digital printing is one of the finest options when customers are looking for short runs of custom printed freezer paper with logos. This printing method gives fine details and allows you to print variable data easily, such as batch numbers.

Unsuitable Printing Methods

Some of the printing methods are not suitable for freezer paper rolls, and the main reason for this is that the ink may smudge when using those methods. Sometimes, we have difficulty adhesing the inks due to the coating of polyethylene and wax. Some printing methods involve the application of high temperatures that may cause the burning of the paper. On the other hand, some printing methods are too expensive, specifically for shorter runs, so we do not recommend them.

• Inkjet Printing
• Laser Printing
• Gravure Printing
