Buyer guidesBasket Liners vs. Deli Sheets: Choosing the Right Greaseproof Paper
Basket Liners and Deli & Sandwich Wrap Sheets are the two highest-volume products we print, and most restaurants end up ordering both — but for different reasons. Understanding the difference helps you size each order correctly instead of over-buying one and running out of the other.
Deli Sheets are built for the counter transaction: wrapping a sandwich, lining a to-go bag, or catching a quick basket of sides at a fast-casual counter. Basket Liners are built for the table: a 12×16 sheet sized to sit flat in a basket or tray for the length of a sit-down meal.
| Factor | Deli & Sandwich Wrap Sheets | Basket & Tray Liners |
|---|---|---|
| Typical size | 12 × 12 in | 12 × 16 in |
| Best for | Counter service, to-go orders | Dine-in baskets and trays |
| Fold pattern | Wraps around food | Lies flat under food |
| Order volume driver | Every transaction | Every seated table |
Ordering both together
Most full-service and fast-casual restaurants order both styles in the same run, since combined volume counts toward the same price tier. A common split is 60% Deli Sheets to 40% Basket Liners for a counter-and-dining-room concept.
