Who Are We?

Linwood Raker Ltd is a UK based manufacturer of speciality coated paper products for direct food contact and industrial applications. Located in Nottinghamshire, and established in 2017, we are a dedicated team that have a passion for providing value to our clients, through innovative products and solutions, who require the intervention of paper in the processing, packaging, or presentation of their products.

We have the capability to produce paper reams, sheets, reels, and die-cut shapes to specialist designs from ‘mill sized’ reels in our modern, well invested facility.

Our papers are used by professionals who specify exacting requirements for their products at different stages of the lifecycle. Our paper ensures that the products are protected from the surfaces they encounter, and, in doing so, protecting those surfaces in return, be it baked or frozen food, bitumen’s and butyls, and many other chemicals…

Service

We pride ourselves on having excellent customer service, backed by a proactive attitude. This enables us to form close relationships with our customers and achieve a high degree of empathy, allowing us to understand their needs, often before they realise the needs themselves.

Quality

We ensure that our products are stringently controlled throughout each stage of the manufacturing process. This is achieved by a system of procedures, backed by our BRC ‘High Risk’ Hygiene accreditation and formal HACCP plan.

Responsive

We understand that speed of response is critical, particularly in the NPD supply chain. We are highly regarded by our clients for our ability to react and to turn around bespoke, demanding projects within very tight timescales.

Linwood Raker manufactures high performance Siliconised release paper products that are suitable for demanding industrial & chemical applications such as double-sided tape separators, bitumen and butyl extruding, and for the packaging of hot melt adhesive. The heat resilient properties mean that these can be used in processes where temperatures exceed 150 degrees.

Within our broad and diverse portfolio, we also convert many superfine papers, such as clay coated kraft, glassine and super calendared kraft with varying degrees of ‘release level’ to suit your application. Almost all of our products are available in reams, sheets, reels, or die-cut pieces.

Coated papers can be combined with corrugated board to provide an innovative and strong alternative to plastic packaging. This cost effective and versatile offering presents a vast array of packaging possibilities. Most board and coating combinations are 100% recyclable.

Nature makes it possible…. Technology and Innovation make it work!

We understand the need to protect food from the surfaces it encounters, and consequently we have a paper that would be perfect for your business. Our 100% sustainably sourced speciality papers are designed specifically to meet the requirements of Bakers, Butchers, Confectioners and Foodservice providers.

Using technology, innovation, and years of expertise, along with a passion for caring for the environment, we have created a portfolio of high-quality papers to suit all applications, from production to point of sale.  Our products unlock value in a wide range of food businesses.

From our extensive inventory, we can help you unlock value by specifying an accurate grade of paper for your application, which we can convert into any shape and size.

We have a specification and weight for every bakery or food process, and we can develop bespoke products that are unique to you and unlock inherent value therein.

Are you using paper to line a presentation tray? In this case a heat protective silicone coating would not be needed, and an inexpensive alternative could work just as well. Baking paper is not just a disposable item, it is a piece of technology that facilitates untapped value to your business.
Do you re-use your baking paper? Most of our papers can be re-used several times over and we can advise accordingly, depending on how much product covers the sheet, or the type of product being baked.

We have the expertise, manufacturing capability and supply chain to develop bespoke paper-based products for almost any application.

Bespoke paper products offer a realm of personalised creativity, where ordinary paper transforms into extraordinary artifacts, tailored to individual preferences. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these products encompass a wide spectrum, from industrial protection to bakery and foodstuff separation. Each piece reflects the distinct possibility, and purpose of its specifier, bearing a unique story within its fibres.

Bespoke paper products also stand as a tribute to artisanal craftsmanship. Behind each creation lies the skilful hands of designers, and our manufacturing staff, who collaborate to transform visions into tangible artistry.

Professional quality baking paper products.

Pancharta is our brand that communicates a range of baking paper solutions and products for the home baker.

Professional quality baking paper is an indispensable tool that enhances the home baking experience in numerous ways. Its non-stick surface ensures easy release of baked goods from pans, preventing sticking and tearing. It acts as a reliable liner for baking sheets, safeguarding them from messy spills and minimizing cleanup efforts. This paper’s high heat resistance makes it suitable for a wide range of recipes, from delicate pastries to hearty breads, without altering flavours.

Additionally, professional baking paper promotes even browning and prevents over-baking, resulting in perfectly cooked creations. Its versatile nature extends beyond baking – it can be used to separate layers of dough for freezing, facilitate chocolate tempering, and create makeshift piping bags. This culinary essential simplifies the baking process, enabling home bakers to achieve professional quality results, with convenience and confidence.

What they say about us

We are focussed on solving problems and making lives easier for our customers, so it is rewarding when we receive positive feedback.

“We didn’t realise that there was so much complexity behind silicone coated paper. Linwood Raker audited our usage and rationalised our supply down to two grades for very specific purposes, which gave improved performance and still saved cost and weight. A great business case study!”

– Chemical Solutions

“We had been purchasing the wrong paper for years and weren’t aware that we could use a more cost effective solution for our baking process. Linwood Raker also dealt with our waste provider and secured recycling status for our used papers meaning landfill was avoided.”

Kev P
– Master Baker

“We were using plastic bags to line our ingot trays, which wasted up to 10% of the finished product and gave an unsightly finish. Linwood Raker designed a special liner, which was perfectly sized to fit the ingot tray and give 0% waste and a flawless finish. Highly recommended!!”
