In foodservice environments, paper failure is more than an inconvenience — it’s a hygiene issue, a brand issue, and often a cost issue. From grease-soaked menus to oil-stained prep charts, standard paper quickly breaks down under real kitchen conditions. Grease-resistant paper solves this problem by maintaining legibility, structure, and a clean appearance even with repeated handling in busy foodservice settings.
“Heavy duty” is often mistaken for “thicker.” But caliper alone won’t prevent tearing, edge peel, or moisture damage. PaperTyger is different: a lightweight yet durable paper-film-paper hybrid that behaves like heavy-duty paper because durability is built into the sheet — not added later.
Grease and oils penetrate traditional paper fibers, leading to stains, warping, and tearing. Once compromised, documents must be replaced frequently — driving up printing costs and disrupting workflows. Laminated alternatives can reduce staining, but they introduce glare, cracked folds, peeling edges, and added production steps. For kitchens, cafes, and hospitality operations, durability needs to be built into the sheet — not added afterward.
PaperTyger uses a patented paper–film–paper construction that resists grease intrusion from within the sheet. The outer paper layers preserve a natural, writable surface, while the internal film layer prevents oils from weakening the structure. This design delivers grease resistance without surface coatings or plastic pouches, keeping documents functional and presentable in high-use environments.
PaperTyger is intended for printed materials used in foodservice environments and is not designed for direct food contact.
Grease-resistant paper is often mistaken for food-contact paper. While some materials are made to wrap or touch food, PaperTyger durable paper is designed for printed materials used in foodservice settings—such as menus, prep charts, inserts, and signage—where resistance to grease, moisture, and handling is essential. By prioritising durability and print quality over direct food contact, PaperTyger helps kitchens maintain cleanliness, legibility, and consistency without introducing unnecessary materials or processes.

Q1. What is grease-resistant paper used for in foodservice environments?
Grease-resistant paper is used for printed materials like menus, prep charts, and signage that are exposed to oils, handling, and moisture but are not intended for direct food contact.
Q2. Is PaperTyger grease-resistant paper FDA approved for food contact?
No. PaperTyger is intended for printed materials used around foodservice environments and is not designed or approved for direct food contact.
Q3. How does PaperTyger resist grease without lamination?
PaperTyger uses a paper–film–paper construction that limits grease penetration. Oils may contact or stain the paper surface, but the internal film layer prevents grease from passing through the entire sheet, helping maintain strength, legibility, and usability without surface coatings or plastic lamination.
Q4. Do I need lamination equipment to use grease-resistant PaperTyger paper? No. PaperTyger provides built-in grease resistance, eliminating the need for lamination equipment, supplies, or additional labor.
Q5. What formats are available for grease-resistant PaperTyger paper?
PaperTyger is available in stocked cut sizes, digital sheets, folio sizes, and custom sheet sizes or slit rolls upon request.
