Grease-Resistant Board — Food-Safe Packaging That Holds Up Against Oils and Fats

Grease-resistant board solves a specific problem in food packaging: the migration of oil and fat from fatty food products through standard paperboard, causing structural failure, print degradation, and aesthetic damage to the packaging. Standard paperboard absorbs grease readily — a croissant in a non-grease-resistant box will eventually soak the box bottom and sides, compromising structural integrity and print quality.

We produce grease-resistant packaging using two treatment approaches: poly coating (a thin polyethylene layer applied over the board surface, providing a physical barrier against grease migration) and aqueous grease-resistant coatings (water-based fluorocarbon-free formulations that provide grease barrier properties without plastic coating). Each approach has specific performance and sustainability trade-offs that we help brands evaluate for their specific application.

Poly Coating vs Aqueous Grease Resistance

Poly-coated board applies a thin polyethylene film over the board surface, creating a physical moisture and grease barrier. This is the most effective grease resistance treatment but adds a plastic layer that complicates recycling. Aqueous grease-resistant coatings use fluorocarbon-free water-based chemistry to create grease resistance without a plastic film layer — more sustainable and recyclability-compatible, but providing moderate rather than maximum grease barrier performance.

Grease Resistance Testing

Grease resistance is measured using the TAPPI T454 'Turpentine Test' — a standardized test that measures how long it takes for turpentine (a surrogate for grease) to penetrate the board. Higher T454 ratings indicate better grease resistance. We specify the appropriate grease resistance level for each food application and verify compliance with T454 testing before production release.

Custom Packaging for Louisiana's Unique Culture

Louisiana has one of America's most distinctive cultural identities — and its food, music, and artisan products command premium pricing nationally and internationally because of it. Packaging for Louisiana brands must communicate the state's rich cultural heritage: Creole and Cajun culinary traditions, New Orleans' vibrant arts scene, and the authentic provenance of Louisiana's seafood and agricultural products. Generic packaging destroys the Louisiana premium; authentic packaging preserves it.

New Orleans Food and Artisan Brand Packaging

New Orleans is one of America's great food cities, and its food brands — hot sauces, pralines, coffee and chicory, seafood, and artisan spirits — are sold in specialty retail nationwide. Packaging for New Orleans food brands must communicate the city's culinary authenticity and premium quality. We produce food packaging for New Orleans brands with FDA compliance, bold design, and the premium finishes that justify specialty food pricing.

Louisiana Seafood and Agricultural Packaging

Louisiana's Gulf seafood — crawfish, shrimp, oysters, crab — is among the most sought-after in US food markets. Packaging for Louisiana seafood brands must communicate wild-caught Gulf provenance authentically to command the premium pricing these products deserve in national and international markets.

Baton Rouge Industrial and Corporate Packaging

Baton Rouge hosts major petrochemical, healthcare, and university institutions requiring professional packaging for industrial products, marketing materials, and corporate communications.

Grease-Resistant Board Packaging in Louisiana — FAQs

What foods require grease-resistant packaging?

Croissants, donuts, fried foods, pizza slices, breakfast sandwiches, butter-based pastries, cheese, and any food with significant fat content benefits from grease-resistant packaging. The required resistance level depends on fat content and the duration of food-to-package contact.

Is poly-coated board recyclable?

Poly-coated board is technically recyclable but requires the plastic film to be separated from the fiber during processing — a capability not all recycling facilities have. For brands requiring both grease resistance and recyclability, fluorocarbon-free aqueous grease-resistant coatings provide better recyclability.

What is a TAPPI T454 rating and what level do I need?

TAPPI T454 measures the time in seconds for turpentine to penetrate the board. Higher values indicate better resistance. Light pastry packaging typically needs T454 ratings of 400-600 seconds. Heavy fried food packaging may need 1000+ seconds. We specify the required rating based on your product.

Can grease-resistant board be printed with food-safe inks?

Yes. Grease-resistant board for food packaging uses food-safe ink systems applied over the grease-resistant surface. Ink adhesion on grease-resistant surfaces requires specific formulations — our technical team specifies compatible ink systems for each application.

What is the minimum order for grease-resistant packaging?

Grease-resistant food packaging starts at 100 units.

Do you ship custom packaging to Louisiana?

Yes. We ship to all Louisiana cities. Ground delivery to New Orleans and Baton Rouge is 3-4 business days from production.
