About Custom Fish and Chip Paper
What is custom fish-and-chip paper?
Custom fish-and-chip paper is a printed, grease-resistant serving sheet that wraps fried fish and chips at the counter, in a basket, or in a takeaway cone. It carries the shop name, story, and menu callouts in the classic newsprint style, and it does the practical job of holding oil back from the customer's hands and the outer bag. For a US fish-and-chip shop, gastropub, or coastal food truck, it is the cheapest branded touchpoint per portion sold.
Sizes and formats
- 12x12 in — the single-portion wrap for a fish sandwich or a small chip cone.
- 15x15 in — the everyday basket liner for a standard serving.
- 18x18 in — the sharing-basket and full-portion wrap.
- Rolls — continuous widths for high-volume kitchens running an inline wrap station.
Grease resistance
Every sheet runs on quality stock with or soy-based inks. The grease-resistant coating on the food-contact side holds fryer oil back long enough to serve, eat, and take the leftovers home without the outer wrap staining through. For lighter grease jobs, see our greaseproof paper; for dry sandwich and bakery work, wax paper or bagel paper is usually the right call.
The newsprint look, in your brand
The classic look is a repeating text-and-headline pattern that reads like a broadsheet — but every US shop we print for asks for it in their own voice: the founder's story, the menu, the neighborhood the shop grew up in, or a QR to the loyalty program. Our US-based designers will lay out the sheet with your logo, brand colors, and menu callouts free of charge. You approve a 3D digital mockup before print, and a physical sample on request (refunded on your first order) confirms ink density and grease resistance in hand.
How ordering works
Minimum order is 5,000 sheets. Per-sheet pricing improves with volume — request a tiered quote for 5,000 / 10,000 / 25,000+ and we will show you where the price breaks fall. Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days with rush at 3–5 available, and every order ships free within the US. Pair with custom paper bags and printed napkins to complete the takeaway kit.
Why US brands choose us for custom fish and chip paper
Custom Box Printing manufactures custom fish and chip paper from our US production facility, with free standard shipping anywhere in the contiguous United States and a 7–10 business day turnaround. We've printed custom fish and chip paper for solo founders launching their first product line, growing direct-to-consumer brands placing 5,000-unit runs, and established retail brands with 50,000+ unit production schedules — and we treat all three the same: low MOQs (5,000-unit runs), free design support, no setup or die-plate charges, and a 3D digital mockup before anything goes to press.
Every custom fish and chip paper order includes free in-house dieline and artwork support — our US-based designers will polish your existing files, or build a custom dieline from scratch to fit your exact product dimensions. We send you a 3D mockup to confirm look and proportions before production. For color-critical work, request a physical sample free — let’s talk about a customized sample so you can confirm the look before a full run.
Materials, print, and finish options
Fish-and-chip paper is a two-layer serving format: an outer printed sheet (often styled as newsprint) that carries the brand and a grease-resistant inner layer that keeps fryer oil off the customer's hands. We print on quality stock with or soy-based inks, with grease-resistant coatings on the food-contact side. Standard sizes are 12x12 in, 15x15 in, and 18x18 in — sized to line a basket, wrap a portion, or cone a chip serving.
Available finishes include:
- Lamination: Gloss, matte, soft-touch, or velvet finish for a premium hand-feel.
- Foil stamping: Gold, silver, copper, or custom foil colors for high-visibility brand marks.
- Embossing & debossing: Tactile raised or recessed surface effects on logo or key artwork.
- Spot UV: Selective gloss coating that creates contrast against matte areas.
- Eco-friendly options: Recycled kraft, widely recyclable paperboard and water-based inks.
- Compliance: soy-based inks; child-resistant-style constructions for CBD/cannabis on request.
If you're not sure which combination will work best for your custom fish and chip paper, mention it in your quote request — our team will recommend the right material, print spec, and finish based on your product, budget, and brand positioning.
