As the foodservice and packaging industries shift toward more sustainable and scalable solutions, one material is rapidly gaining traction among distributors, QSR brands, and food manufacturers: silicone-coated unbleached kraft paper.
Last updated: March 2026
At Runjia New Materials, we’ve engineered a line of hybrid baking and wrapping paper that blends the eco-friendly appeal of natural kraft with the non-stick, grease-resistant performance of silicone coating. This solution is designed for high-turnover environments—from sandwich chains and bakeries to ready-meal producers and frozen food packagers.
Here’s how this innovative paper format is transforming the way modern food businesses balance speed, safety, and sustainability.
🌿 The Base: Why Choose Unbleached Kraft Paper?
Unbleached kraft paper is made from virgin wood pulp that skips the chemical bleaching process. The result is a natural brown tone and a stronger fiber structure—ideal for food packaging that must be both durable and eco-conscious.
Benefits of Unbleached Kraft:
- No chlorine or whitening agents used
- FSC-certified and fully biodegradable
- Stronger tensile strength for heavy or greasy foods
- Rustic, organic appearance preferred by eco-conscious brands
- Compatible with plastic-free retail goals
Runjia sources kraft pulp from certified sustainable forests, giving our base sheet a clean environmental profile before the coating process begins.

🔁 Ideal for High-Turnover, High-Efficiency Operations
In commercial kitchens and packaging lines, speed and cleanliness are critical. This hybrid paper helps teams save time, reduce food waste, and eliminate unnecessary steps in prep or packing.
Common Applications:

🏭 From Our Factory Floor
Real case: A Canadian food manufacturer needed silicone release paper for candy production (one-side coated, 60 GSM, release force 15-25 cN/25mm). Their previous supplier’s release force varied from 10 to 40 cN between batches — causing either candy sticking (too high) or paper delamination during processing (too low). We tightened our coating process to ±3 cN tolerance. After 6 batches, their production line reject rate dropped from 4.5% to 0.8%.
What we learned: For industrial release paper, specify release force RANGE and TOLERANCE in your purchase order — not just a target value. Consistency between batches matters more than hitting a single number.
FAQ: Baking Paper Sourcing
How do I choose between single-sided and double-sided silicone coating?
Single-sided is sufficient for most baking (bread, cookies). Double-sided is needed when both surfaces contact food — e.g., sandwich pressing, chocolate molds, or commercial oven trays where paper flips during use.
What is the standard temperature rating for baking paper?
Standard silicone baking paper withstands 220°C continuously. Premium grades handle 230°C. For BBQ/grill use above 250°C, ceramic-enhanced coating is required.
What is the minimum order quantity from China?
Typically 5-10 tons for standard specs. Custom printing adds a $200-400 plate charge. Pre-cut shapes have higher MOQ (20-30 tons) due to die-cutting setup.
How do I verify a baking paper manufacturer is PFAS-free?
Request a total fluorine test report from an accredited lab (SGS, TÜV, Intertek). The EU PPWR limit is 50 ppm total fluorine. Reputable manufacturers test proactively and share certificates.
