With the arrival of the warmer months, opportunities for outdoor dining increase—from aperitifs and festivals to street food events. In these settings, paper plays an important role: it must be suitable for food contact, practical to use, and able to support the product without compromising functionality or presentation.
Summer changes the way people enjoy food. Festivals, outdoor dining areas, fairs and events create countless occasions for eating away from home, making packaging and paper products an integral part of the overall customer experience.
Sandwiches, focaccia, fried foods, baked goods and delicatessen products all require paper with different performance characteristics: absorbing oil, resisting grease, protecting surfaces or enhancing presentation. For this reason, there is no single solution suitable for every application. The right paper should always be selected according to the product and the way it will be served and consumed.
Street Food and Takeaway: Practicality and Performance
For food consumed on the go, paper must be practical, durable and suitable for the specific characteristics of the food.
There is no “one-size-fits-all” paper: each material is designed to meet specific requirements and should be selected according to its intended application.
When greater resistance to grease and moisture is required, glassine paper is an excellent solution. Thanks to its unique properties, it is particularly suitable for wrapping cured meats, cheeses, deli products, filled sandwiches and takeaway foods, helping keep the packaging cleaner and more functional during transport and consumption.
Fried Foods, Catering and Events
Paper cones, finger foods and fried specialties are among the stars of the summer season. In these applications, absorbent fry paper helps remove excess oil, improving both presentation and ease of service.
Events also require paper placemats and other paper-based accessories, which protect surfaces while reinforcing the visual identity of the venue or event.
In pastry shops, cake boards and cake bases also play an important role, providing practical support for presenting and handling cakes and other confectionery products.
Every Application Requires the Right Paper
When it comes to food-contact papers, regulatory compliance is only the starting point. Absorbency, grease resistance, basis weight, size and other technical characteristics should all be evaluated according to the intended application.
