How To Wrap A Sandwich In Deli Paper

Who doesn’t love a delicious sandwich to snack on? Whether it’s a packed lunch or a picnic outing with friends, knowing how to wrap a sandwich in deli paper is a hassle-free way to enjoy your culinary creations!

Wrapping a sandwich in deli paper over plastic saran wrap offers several advantages. Unlike plastic wrap, deli paper is breathable and porous which helps maintain a sandwich’s texture by preventing it from becoming soggy and mushy. This keeps your sandwiches fresh and appetizing when it’s time to chow down! Even for leftovers, deli paper is microwave safe and can be used to reheat food without the risk of plastic melting that could potentially contaminate your food. 

In addition, deli paper is often more environmentally friendly. Although not all deli paper is compostable, they tend to break down faster in landfills than plastic. They offer a classic, professional look to wrapped food. Have you ever ordered a burger at a restaurant and notice that most, if not all of them are wrapped in paper? How many do you see wrapped in saran wrap? Paper’s aesthetic and universal appeal is what makes them popular in restaurant settings. Due to its popularity, LollicupStore offers custom printing on your papers to bring your logos or designs to life.

Deli paper is commonly used for hot foods, but with some limitations. They are designed to withstand medium heat, making them suitable for freshly cooked burgers, sandwiches, and pastries. They can also be used for cold foods, such as sushi burritos, veggie wraps, and spring rolls.
