Butcher paper is a type of water resistant kraft paper traditionally used by butchers and fishmongers to wrap meat and fish.[1] Butcher paper is usually white or reddish in colour, made from kraft pulp, and is generally considered to have a density of between 30 lb/3000 sq ft (49 g/m2) and 50 lb/3000 sq ft (81 g/m2).[2]
Butcher paper is an arts & crafts material, valued for its large-format availability.[3][4] It is used in primary and secondary education for crafting hanging artwork and posters.[5] Moving companies use butcher paper to pack china, glass, and other fragile items for safe transport at low cost.[6]
