Patty Paper

What Patty Paper does

Patty Paper Inc. (PPI) is a privately held U.S. paper conversion company founded in 1963 and headquartered at 1951 North Oak Drive, Plymouth, Indiana. The company converts large rolls of waxed, coated, and printed paper into small squares, sheets, and roll stock used as interleaving and separation media in food processing operations. Its core product lines include patty paper interleave (for separating meat patties, plant-based patties, poultry, and cheese), steak paper (in peach, green, and black for retail display cases), waxed sheet paper (wet or dry wax, single or laminated), bulker/roll stock for any roll-paper-style machine, and picking paper for bakeries and restaurants. Products are offered across a wide matrix of paper weights, wax loads, sizes, and customizations including hole punches and up to seven-color logo printing.

PPI operates from a single facility using custom-engineered converting machines that, combined with decades of operator know-how (many employees have 20+ years of waxing and paper experience), support what the company describes as the broadest product mix in the patty paper category. It is the only known converter offering a patented FDA-approved SafePak Wrap individually wrapped packaging system that protects interleaving stacks from environmental contamination, differentiating it from competitors that use string, paper tape, or cardboard packaging. The company ships approximately 20 million pounds of converted paper per year.

Revenue is generated through direct, one-time sales of converted paper products priced per customer specification (paper weight, wax load, size, printing). The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, targeting food processors of all sizes as the primary vertical, with secondary segments in restaurants, food service, bakeries, and delis. PPI is part of a privately held 'Family of Companies' alongside Hollymatic, Rollstock, NuTec, and Former — sibling businesses serving the food processing industry with complementary equipment, portioning, thermoform-fill-seal, and processing machinery solutions, providing cross-sell potential into shared processor accounts.
