Home vs. Commercial Baking Paper: How GSM & Heat Resistance Impact Performance

When sourcing baking paper for retail packaging or industrial use, two technical specs are critical: GSM (grams per square meter) and heat resistance. Overlooking these can lead to baking failures, increased waste, or unsatisfied end-users.

At Runjia New Materials, we manufacture both home-use and commercial-grade parchment paper, certified and customized for B2B clients worldwide. This guide will help you choose the right baking paper specs for your target market.

📏 What Does GSM Mean in Baking Paper?

GSM refers to the weight or density of the paper — the higher the GSM, the thicker and stronger the sheet.

GSM Range	Typical Use Case	Key Characteristics
38–40 gsm	Home baking (cookies, pastries)	Lightweight, flexible, economical
41–45 gsm	Bakery chains, foodservice	Balanced strength, good non-stick
46–60 gsm	Industrial food production	High durability, resistant to oil & steam

🔥 Heat Resistance: Not All Baking Papers Are Equal

Baking environments vary — so should your baking paper. Runjia’s parchment paper is coated on both sides with food-grade silicone, offering excellent non-stick properties and heat resistance up to 230°C (446°F).

Application	Recommended GSM	Max Temperature
Home ovens	38–40 gsm	Up to 220°C (428°F)
Air fryers/toaster ovens	40–42 gsm	Up to 230°C (446°F)
Commercial baking trays	42–45 gsm	Up to 230°C
Long production cycles	45–60 gsm	Up to 230°C

🔎 Note: Low-GSM paper may curl, brown, or stick during longer bakes or high-humidity cooking.
