What Paper Do I Need?

The base paper requirements depend upon various things such as:-

Process (baking, freezing etc)
Application (type of product being cooked / wrapped)
Environmental factors

There will be some overlap between the papers, but using the three matrices below, you will be able to ascertain the most appropriate paper(s) for your specific need, the choice may then come down to price or personal preference on appearance/feel. The first step is ensuring the paper is fit for purpose. (We would always recommend a customer carries out their own testing)

Deep freezing is always subject to exact application
