Silicon Coated vs Unbleached Paper: Which to Choose?
Product Guide February 11, 2026

Comparing silicon coated release paper with natural unbleached kraft paper — which is better for your application? We break down the pros and cons of each.

Two of the most popular paper types in food service and industrial applications are silicon-coated paper and unbleached (natural) parchment. Each has distinct advantages depending on your use case.

Silicon Coated Paper

Ideal for baking and release applications. The silicone coating creates an ultra-low-friction surface that prevents even the stickiest doughs from adhering.

Unbleached Paper

A natural, chemical-free alternative popular with eco-conscious bakeries. The brown colour signals authenticity and sustainability to customers.

Both types are available at ParchmentPapers with custom sizes and optional branding.
