Meat Market Paper FAQs
Common questions about the uses, colours and formats available for meat market paper.
What is meat market paper?
Meat market paper is a specialist high wet-strength paper used for wrapping, separating and displaying freshly cut meat. It is designed to support product presentation and help reduce visible discolouration.
How does meat market paper help maintain the colour of fresh meat?
Freshly cut meat can gradually darken following exposure to air. Meat market paper is specifically manufactured to help maintain the red appearance of the cut surface when used correctly for wrapping or interleaving. Performance will also depend on the meat, storage conditions, wrapping method and wider packaging process.
Is meat market paper the same as wax-coated paper?
No. Both may be used with fresh meat, but they offer different properties. Meat market paper is selected primarily for fresh-meat presentation, colour maintenance and high wet strength. Wax-coated paper provides a moisture-resistant barrier and is often used for wrapping or interleaving fresh burgers, cheese and deli products.
Which colours are available?
Current colours include peach, green, black and white. The colour is usually chosen around the meat product, brand presentation and display environment.
