Waxed Paper Wrap

Waxed paper wrap uses a wax coating to resist both moisture and grease, a common choice for wrapping metal parts prone to rust, food-adjacent packaging, or anything shipped through humid conditions. It holds up where standard kraft paper would absorb moisture and lose strength. Machine shops often use it to wrap freshly machined metal parts before rust has a chance to form on the surface.

Q: What is waxed paper wrap used for besides food packaging?

A: It's also common for wrapping metal parts and tools to prevent rust from moisture exposure during storage or shipping.

Q: Is waxed paper the same as butcher paper?

A: No. Butcher paper is food-safe but not wax-coated. Waxed paper adds a wax barrier for moisture and grease resistance, and isn't necessarily rated for direct food contact unless specified.
