Printed freezer paper carries your name on the outside of every package that goes into a customer's freezer, while the coated inner face does the same job as plain freezer paper. It is the wrap for meat boxes, farm shares, butcher counters and fish markets that want the brand to last past the sale.

Printed freezer paper is a heavy white paper with a thin plastic film on one side and your logo printed on the other. The film side faces the meat and keeps frost out at 0°F; the printed paper side faces out and still takes a marker for the cut and date. Think of it as the label and the wrap in one sheet.

The last photo is the one to study. A frozen beef patty sits between two layers of white freezer paper, with the roll beside it and a sheet folded over the top. That is the paper's job, and the print goes on the face you can see.
The other photos show the boxed format: a long carton with a sample design and a roll inside, pulled against a tear edge. Your artwork goes on the paper, not the carton, but the carton can carry a plain label with your name if you ask.
A plain wrap is forgotten the moment it is torn off. A printed one is in the customer's freezer for three months with your phone number facing out every time they open the lid.
On the paper face only. Freezer paper is coated on one side and bare on the other, and we print the bare side. When the package is wrapped with the film against the meat, the print is on the outside and nothing printed ever touches the food.
Rolls are wound with the printed face out, so as the sheet comes off the box the pattern is facing you and the film is facing the bench. Lay the meat on the film, fold, and the logo ends up outside without anyone thinking about it.
The inks are food-safe soy or water-based, dried and set before winding. They do not smear when a frosted package is handled, and they do not transfer to the shiny face of the next wrap on the roll.
Yes. Cold does nothing to a dried ink. What spoils a printed package in a freezer is handling: frost rubbing against frost, a sharp bone corner, a package dragged out from under three others.
The heavy 40 to 45 lb sheet handles that better than a label. A stuck-on label lifts at the corner in a wet freezer and ends up on the floor; a printed sheet cannot peel.
Marker writing in the write-on panel also survives, as long as it was written before freezing. Ink on a frosted surface beads and wipes off, so tell the counter to label dry.
Pick width by the biggest cut you wrap often, not the biggest you ever wrap. A roast that comes once a month can take two sheets.
| Typical roll | Format | Where it works |
|---|---|---|
| 15 in × 150 ft | Boxed, tear edge | Farm store counter, chops and steaks, small fish market |
| 18 in × 150 ft | Boxed, tear edge | Butcher counter wrapping roasts, ground meat and poultry pieces |
| 18 in × 1,000 ft | Bulk on a core | Meat-box packing bench with a dispenser, CSA share assembly |
| 24 in × 1,000 ft | Bulk on a core | Whole chickens, primals, fish sides, deer and hog processing |
Boxed rolls are for counters without a dispenser. Bulk rolls are for benches with one. If you have a dispenser already, give us its bar diameter and the width between the end plates and we match the core and slit.
White freezer paper is a clean canvas, so color choice is about contrast with meat and ice rather than with the paper. Black, forest green, navy and deep brown all read strongly through a frosted lid. A pale gray or yellow vanishes once a package has a dusting of frost.
One color is enough for most farms and butchers. A second color earns its place when the logo has two parts, say a name in black and a mark in green, or when you want the write-on panel in a lighter tint so the handwriting stands out.
Avoid red. On a package of raw beef, red ink reads as blood, and a customer opening the freezer cannot tell your logo from a leak. We say this on every freezer paper proof and it is the one color note we feel strongly about.
Pantone solid-coated matches are available for the colors that matter to the brand. Up to four colors can be printed, though on this paper nobody needs them.
This is the design feature that separates printed freezer paper from a logo on a sheet. Print three ruled boxes labeled Cut, Weight and Date once in every repeat, and the counter has a label built into the wrap.
Space the panels so one lands on the outside of a typical package. On an 18 in roll a panel every 9 in means a chop-sized wrap shows at least one, and a roast shows two, one of which the wrapper fills.
Keep the panel ink light, a 20 percent tint of the main color, so black marker reads clearly over it. We lay the panel out on the proof and show it on a mock package so you can see where it falls after the fold.
If you want to try the layout first, drop the logo and panel into Design Your Custom Freezer Paper and send the result with the quote.
The sheet is the same heavy white stock as plain freezer paper, about 40 to 45 lb, with the same thin plastic film on the inside. The print adds nothing to the thickness and changes nothing about how the paper folds or seals.
Boxed rolls at 150 ft come in a carton with a serrated edge. Bulk rolls at 1,000 ft come bare on a core for a dispenser. Both are wound print face out.
The film is for cold only. A printed sheet does not go on a smoker, in an oven or under a heat lamp, and the ink does not change that; it is the coating, not the print, that rules out heat.
The dense repeat is the first. A logo every 2 in looks busy on a 24 in sheet and wastes ink; every 5 to 6 in is enough, because a wrapped package shows several faces at once.
Fine type is the second. A phone number at 7 pt is readable on a flat proof and unreadable through frost on a folded package. Keep contact details at 12 pt or more and keep them in the clear, away from any tint panel.
The third is designing for the sheet rather than the package. Print a mock wrap on office paper, fold it round a block of wood the size of a roast and look at what shows. That ten-minute test fixes most layouts before the proof.
The fourth is forgetting the inside. Customers unfold the package and see the shiny face. It stays plain white, which is right, but if you expected print on both sides, know now that the film side cannot be printed.
The minimum is one roll, and one printed roll is a fair trial for a counter. The printed freezer paper quote form asks for the roll size, the quantity and your file.
What buyers ask before a first order. Type a word to filter the cards, or open one to read the full answer.
No. The ink is dried and set into the paper face before the roll is wound, and frost sits on top of it without lifting it.
No. The ink is dried and set into the paper face before the roll is wound, and frost sits on top of it without lifting it. What wears a print is dragging packages over each other for months, and even then it fades at the corners rather than coming off.
Yes, and it is the most useful thing to add. We print three ruled boxes in a light tint once in every repeat so a filled-in panel lands on the outside of most packages.

Yes. Each layer is wound print face out, so the outer layer of a double wrap shows the pattern just as a single wrap does.
Yes. Each layer is wound print face out, so the outer layer of a double wrap shows the pattern just as a single wrap does. The inner layer's print is hidden against the outer layer's film, which is fine; it is the outside that the customer sees.
Yes, 15 in and 18 in by 150 ft boxed rolls are standard for printed paper.
Yes, 15 in and 18 in by 150 ft boxed rolls are standard for printed paper. The carton has a serrated tear edge and sits on the counter. Boxed printed rolls have the same per-roll setup as bulk, so the quote shows both so you can compare.
Yes, and we advise against it. Red ink on a package of raw beef reads as a leak through frost, and a customer cannot tell the logo from a stain.
Yes, and we advise against it. Red ink on a package of raw beef reads as a leak through frost, and a customer cannot tell the logo from a stain. Dark green, navy, black or brown read as a brand rather than as blood.
Yes, that is the usual job for this paper. Name, phone and a short line such as the farm's town are plenty.
Yes, that is the usual job for this paper. Name, phone and a short line such as the farm's town are plenty. Keep the phone number at 12 pt or larger so it reads through a frosted lid, and leave it out of any tint panel.
Yes. The serrated edge cuts the 45 lb sheet in one pull and the print has no effect on the tear.
Yes. The serrated edge cuts the 45 lb sheet in one pull and the print has no effect on the tear. Because the repeat is staggered, a torn edge through a logo on one sheet leaves a whole logo elsewhere on the same piece.
Yes if the design avoids red and keeps a clear write-on panel.
Yes if the design avoids red and keeps a clear write-on panel. The cut box on the panel is where the counter distinguishes a chicken from a chuck roast. Some shops add a second color only for poultry; that is two runs, so decide before the quote.
It comes on a standard cardboard core sized for bench and floor dispensers.
It comes on a standard cardboard core sized for bench and floor dispensers. Give us the bar diameter and the clear width between the end plates on the quote and we confirm the fit before the roll is wound.
Yes. An edge stripe prints along one side of the roll, so the logo and panel sit on the strip that becomes the top of a package while the rest stays clear.
Yes. An edge stripe prints along one side of the roll, so the logo and panel sit on the strip that becomes the top of a package while the rest stays clear. It suits processors wrapping large cuts, where a center repeat gets lost in the folds.
Yes. The inside face is the plastic film, it stays white and unprinted, and it cannot take ink.
Yes. The inside face is the plastic film, it stays white and unprinted, and it cannot take ink. Customers unfolding a package see a clean white surface against the meat, which is what you want them to see.
Yes for a quick thaw. The ink is water-based but set into the paper, and a dip in cold water does not lift it.
Yes for a quick thaw. The ink is water-based but set into the paper, and a dip in cold water does not lift it. A package left soaking for hours will soften the paper itself, print or not, so thaw in the fridge for anything bigger than a chop.
