Kitchen / Back of house
Kitchen impact paper & ribbons
Kitchen impact printers use bond paper, not thermal. They also require ink ribbons. Heat from grills and ovens would destroy thermal paper — bond paper is heat-resistant by design. Full guide: why thermal fails in kitchen printers →
Common mistake: Ordering thermal paper for a kitchen impact printer. If your kitchen printer uses a ribbon cartridge, you need bond paper — not thermal. Thermal paper will print blank in an impact printer. Learn to tell the difference →

Food Wrapping & Packaging
Newsprint for Food Service Operations
Newsprint is a staple in deli and food service operations — lightweight, non-abrasive, and absorbent. It won't scratch delicate surfaces or leave residue, making it the traditional standard for sandwich wrapping, deli packaging, and bottle protection.
Deli & Sandwich Wrapping
Sub shops, deli counters, sandwich stations
18" × 24" sheets 12"–24" rolls
The traditional deli wrap standard, especially in the northeastern US. Pre-cut 18"×24" sheets speed up high-volume sandwich stations significantly vs tearing from a roll.
Shop Newsprint →Bottle & Liquid Wrapping
Liquor stores, wine shops, grocery stores
18" × 24" sheets Absorbent
Newsprint's absorbency makes it ideal for wrapping bottles and liquid containers — it cushions and absorbs any condensation or leakage during transport.
Shop Newsprint →Grocery & Produce Packing
Grocery cartons, produce, bulk items
24" × 1500' roll High volume
Continuous 24" rolls for packing cartons with liquid containers and cushioning produce during distribution. 1500' length keeps packing stations running longer between roll changes.
Shop Newsprint →Sheets vs rolls: Pre-cut 18"×24" sheets are faster for wrapping individual items at busy stations. Rolls are more economical for high-volume operations where staff tear to size. Both available for same-day shipping. See all newsprint sizes →
