Wax Paper is a versatile food packaging and preparation paper designed to help protect food from grease, moisture, and sticking. Its wax coating creates a barrier that helps prevent oils and liquids from penetrating the paper while providing a smooth non-stick surface.

It is commonly used for wrapping sandwiches, burgers, pastries, cookies, cheese, and other cold or room-temperature foods. It can also be used as an interleaving sheet to separate food items and help prevent them from sticking together. Wax paper is not intended for oven or direct high-heat use, as the wax coating can melt and produce smoke.
