Is Printed Deli Paper Worth It for a Small Café?

Printed deli paper sounds like a big-brand luxury, but it is worth checking the numbers for a small café too.

Work Out the Cost per Order

Ask for a quote with a few quantity options, divide by the number of orders you serve, and compare it with plain sheets. One- or two-color printing keeps the design simple.

What You Get Back

  • Brand recall: customers remember where their lunch came from.
  • Social posts: branded paper shows up in photos, plain paper doesn’t.
  • A finished look: printed liners make a simple basket look like a plated dish.

How to Start Small

Begin with one size and one color for your best-selling item. Once you see how customers react, add a second size or a seasonal design.
