Key Features & Benefits
Breathable & Preserve Meat Juiciness
Unlike plastic film, butcher paper allows proper air exchange. It retains natural meat moisture without condensation buildup, prevents meat from getting soggy, widely preferred for smoking brisket and BBQ cooking.
High Tear & Wet Strength
High-density kraft fiber delivers strong tensile strength. Resists tearing when wrapping wet, juicy raw meat, holds meat juices without easy rupture during handling and transportation.
Food Safe Direct Contact
Uncoated formula, no wax, no silicone, no fluorinated greaseproof additives. Safe for direct contact with raw meat and hot smoked food, compliant with food contact standards.
Multi-Scenario Versatility
Perfect for butcher retail wrapping, BBQ smoking, deli packaging, frozen meat packing, tray lining. Can also be used for craft, table cover and gift wrapping for retail brands.
Eco-Friendly & Recyclable
Made of natural plant fiber, plastic-free, biodegradable and recyclable. Easy disposal, meets green packaging requirements for catering and meat industry.

FAQ & Quality Solutions
Paper breaks easily when wrapping juicy raw meat
Select higher GSM butcher paper to upgrade wet tensile strength. Choose moisture treated grade for heavy juice meat to extend holding time.
Too much moisture penetration and liquid leaks out
Butcher paper is breathable, not fully waterproof. For high liquid products, use moisture-treated grade or combine with secondary packaging.
Paper discolors or darkens during BBQ smoking
Natural kraft paper will slightly darken under high smoking temperature, this is normal. Select high-temperature stable pulp formula if you need lighter color retention.
Unstable tensile strength between different batches
Stabilize pulp ratio and refining parameters, implement sampling tensile & wet strength test per batch to guarantee consistent performance.
Paper absorbs grease and becomes fragile quickly
For high-fat meat, upgrade to reinforced heavy-duty butcher paper with denser fiber structure to extend holding performance.
Printing ink blurs or smudges on paper surface
Use kraft paper specific high-adhesion flexo ink. Optimize drying speed to avoid ink bleeding into porous paper fiber.
Paper surface has dust or wood debris
Adopt pulp purification process, online surface cleaning during slitting. Conduct visual inspection before packing for food-grade cleanliness.
Paper absorbs moisture and weakens strength during shipping
Use moisture-proof inner packaging. Store in low humidity warehouse; high humidity will reduce wet strength and tear resistance.

Shipping & Logistics Recommendations
Jumbo paper rolls wrapped with waterproof film and fixed with edge guards on pallets to prevent moisture and extrusion damage. Finished cut sheets packed with sealed inner bags + reinforced corrugated cartons, separate packaging for pink / white / brown butcher paper. Store in dry, constant-temperature and ventilated warehouse; avoid high humidity and direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation and strength loss. Stack height ≤1.2m to prevent carton deformation and paper sheet crushing. Complete food contact test reports and compliance documents provided for customs clearance. 24-hour after-sales support for grade selection and quality adjustment.
