grease resistant papers

Grease resistant papers

Carccu® parchment papers, or greaseproof papers, are ecological, compostable, and biodegradable quality products created by our Finnish printing house and suitable for use as food wrapping papers in professional kitchens. For direct contact with food, we recommend a print side down/external surface print. This material is not suitable for baking because it does not have a non-stick surface like baking paper. Parchment, on the other hand, is well suited for crafts or used as tracing paper, as it can be drawn on, taped, and glued.

The Carccu story

The Carccu® story is one of Finnish entrepreneurship and a passion for finding the most efficient packaging solution to support our customers’ brands. The company’s current name is derived from the small village community of Karkku located near the Finnish town of Sastamala in the Rautavesi national landscape. Olli Borg, who is still involved in the company’s operations, assembled the first printing press at EPP-Pack Oy’s premises at the Karkku site in the 1980s.

What came next is an eminent part of Finnish flexographic printing history, and, today, we develop our business feet firmly on the ground and our eyes focused on the future. From the beginning, Carccu has also focused on the international market, which has resulted in a long tradition of export trade. Over the years, pioneering vision and innovation have made our company Finland’s leading printing house specializing in customized packaging solutions.

Even though the world has changed, some things remain the same at Carccu – a love of entrepreneurship and a desire to understand the pressing business needs of our customers.

“We are grateful for our roots as a family business, which has been operating for half a century, and for the work of previous generations of entrepreneurs. We also cherish the heritage of handicraft in our work, and our highly dedicated workers have years of solid experience and exceptional technical expertise,” says Lasse Borg, CEO and fourth-generation entrepreneur.
