Pan Liners and Baking Tray Liners

  • Cut to your pan
  • Greaseproof
  • Bake-and-sell ready

A pan liner is the least glamorous item on this site and one of the most immediately useful. It sits between your product and your pan, so the pan comes out clean, the product comes out whole, and — if you specify it that way — the liner stays on the product as its packaging all the way to the customer.

That last part is what turns a consumable into a saving. A bake-in liner removes a decanting step, a cooling rack transfer and a separate piece of packaging from your process.

  • Cut to your specific pan, not a nominal size
  • Pleated walls that hold their shape when filled
  • Greaseproof so the product releases cleanly
  • Printable for products that sell in the liner

Pricing starts from $0.30 per tray

The unit price depends on the size, board, printing, finishing, quantity and delivery country, so every quote is worked out for your specification rather than taken from a list.

02 — Build the spec

Design this tray in five steps

The same five questions we would ask on a phone call, with the corrugated pan liner already selected. You get a properly detailed brief at the end, which is what makes a first quote accurate rather than approximate.

Step 1 The tray and the food

Pick the closest style. If nothing matches, choose “Something else” and describe it at step 5.

Step 2 Size and material

Internal measurements at the base if you have them. Approximate is fine — a physical sample is better still.

Step 3 Structure, lid and print

Compartments keep a wet element off a dry one. Fewer print colours than you think: one well-drawn ink on kraft usually beats a mediocre four-colour design.

Step 4 Quantity and artwork

Give your realistic annual usage if you can — the unit cost curve tells you more than a single quantity does.

PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, JPG, PNG or ZIP. Up to 12 MB. A rough sketch is genuinely useful; we supply a dieline before your designer starts.

Step 5 Your details, then send

03 — In detail

Two different products with the same name

A pan liner that is thrown away after the bake and a pan liner that goes to the customer with the product are specified quite differently. The disposable one only has to release cleanly and survive the oven. The retail one also has to look right, hold its shape after cooling, take print, and carry the product through handling without collapsing.

Decide which you are buying before you ask for pricing, because the cheaper one is genuinely cheaper and the more expensive one genuinely earns its cost. Buying the disposable grade for a retail product is a false economy that shows up on the shelf.

The formats we cut most often

Loaf liners

Pleated cases sized to your tin volume. The classic bake-and-sell format for banana bread, tea loaves and pound cake.

Sheet pan liners

Flat or shallow-walled liners cut to full, half and quarter sheet pans, or to whatever non-standard pans your kitchen actually owns.

Round liners

For cake tins and deep pans. Cut with a pleated wall so the liner stands up in an empty tin rather than collapsing inward.

Air fryer liners

Small square and round liners for basket air fryers. A growing request from ghost kitchens and small food producers.

What to measure

Three numbers per pan and we can cut a liner that fits properly rather than approximately.

MeasurementWhere to take itWhy it matters
Internal lengthBase of the pan, not the rimPans taper, and the base is the dimension that governs fit
Internal widthBase of the panSame reason
Internal depthBase to rim, verticallySets the liner wall height and therefore the usable volume

If the pan has rounded corners, tell us the radius as well — a square-cornered liner in a round-cornered pan buckles at the corners and leaves gaps.

Chosen because operators who buy the corrugated pan liner usually need one of these in the same order, not because they happen to sit in the same category.

05 — Questions

Corrugated Pan Liner questions

Can I bake directly in these liners?

Bake-grade liners are made for it, and we confirm the tested temperature range for the grade you order. Do not assume every paper liner is oven-safe — tell us the temperature you bake at and we will supply the right grade.

Will the product release cleanly without greasing?

Greaseproof liners release most bakes cleanly, which is one of the main reasons to use them. Very sticky mixes — heavy caramel or high-sugar bakes — can still adhere. If your product is one of those, tell us and we will point you at the right surface.

How do I measure my pan?

Internal length and width at the base rather than the rim, plus internal depth. Pans taper, so a liner cut to the rim will not sit down properly. Add the corner radius if your pan has rounded corners.

Can I print on a pan liner?

Yes, where the liner goes to the customer with the product. The ink has to be oven-stable, which is a specific specification. If the liner is discarded after the bake, printing it is money spent on something nobody sees.

Do the walls stand up on their own?

That is what the pleating is for. A flat sheet liner slumps into an empty pan; a pleated wall holds its height while you fill it, which makes filling faster and more consistent.

Are these suitable for air fryers?

We cut small square and round liners for basket air fryers. Air fryers move a lot of air, so a liner needs enough weight that it does not lift into the element — mention the model and we will advise.

Can I use a pan liner as retail packaging on its own?

For many bakes, yes — the liner plus a band or a sleeve is a complete retail pack. It saves a decanting step and a separate container. Tell us it is a retail application and we will specify a grade that still looks good after cooling.

What is the minimum order?

Liners are small and simple, so minimums are lower than for structural trays. The cutting tool is inexpensive. Ask for pricing across a few quantities and pick the point where the unit cost flattens.
