How Many Sheets of Custom Greaseproof Paper Should You Order?

07/02/2026

Ordering too few sheets means a mid-week scramble for plain stock; ordering too many ties up cash and storage space in a back room. The good news is that greaseproof paper quantity math is simple once you know your weekly sheet usage.

Start with your average daily sheet usage across all sizes, multiply by the weeks of buffer you want on hand, and round up to your style’s minimum order quantity.

Restaurant sizeTypical monthly sheetsSuggested first order
New single location3,000–8,0005,000
Established single location10,000–25,00015,000–20,000
2–5 location group40,000–120,00060,000–100,000
Franchise / wholesale250,000+250,000–500,000

Account for seasonality

Holiday weeks and event spikes can double normal sheet volume for a week or two. Rather than over-ordering for the whole quarter, place a standing order sized for your normal weeks and a smaller top-up order two weeks ahead of a known spike — in line with our standard lead time.

Key takeawayOrder for your average month plus a 15–20% buffer, and place a seasonal top-up order two weeks ahead of a known rush.
