CorporateA Restaurant’s Guide to Greaseproof Paper Margins
Packaging is a real line item in a restaurant’s cost structure, but it’s also one of the cheapest forms of advertising a restaurant can buy — every wrap and liner is an impression that costs a few cents.
At typical order volumes, custom greaseproof paper adds a fraction of a cent to a few cents per order, well inside the range most restaurants already budget for packaging.
| Order volume | Estimated per-sheet cost | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 (minimum) | $0.06–$0.09 | Single location, first order |
| 25,000 | $0.045–$0.07 | Established single location |
| 100,000+ | $0.03–$0.05 | Multi-location group |
Building it into your menu pricing
Most restaurants fold packaging cost into overall food cost percentage rather than pricing it per item. At volume, custom greaseproof paper typically adds well under 1% to per-order cost while meaningfully improving perceived brand quality.
