Facts

History

Wax paper was invented by Thomas Edison in 1872. Its applications include wrapping food for storage, cooking, creating envelopes, lining cartons, and crafting. Moreover, it can be rubbed against surfaces to apply a thin layer of wax for polishing or lubrication purposes. In 1927, The Reynolds Company introduced wax paper as a household kitchen product by packaging it in a box with a serrated-edge cutter.

As reported on the Food Packaging Forum, food-grade waxes can be used for food packaging due to their effective moisture barrier properties. They shield dry foods from environmental moisture and help minimize moisture loss. A wax coating can also protect food items during transportation and handling processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does wax paper differ from freezer paper?

Freezer paper and wax paper are both used for wrapping and freezing foods, but they have some differences. Freezer paper has a plastic coating on one side, making it more durable and better for freezer storage than wax paper, which is coated with wax on both sides. 

What kind of wax is used for wax papers?

Paraffin wax is the primary wax used to make wax paper, which makes it non-stick. Like plastics, paraffin wax is derived from petroleum as a by-product during crude oil refining and is not biodegradable or compostable.

What food items are best suited for wax papers?

Wax paper is versatile across various applications but excels particularly well with hot, savoury foods often prone to grease. If your industry revolves around any of the following foods, wax paper is a wise choice:

- Burgers: A burger establishment isn't complete without reliable wax paper to catch drips from the juicy patty.
