ABOUT
Linwood Raker Ltd is a UK-based manufacturer of speciality coated paper products, designed for direct food contact and industrial applications.
Founded in 2017 and located in Nottinghamshire, we are a resolute team with a passion for delivering value through innovation. Our clients rely on us for paper-based solutions that enhance the processing, packaging, or presentation of their products.
We operate from a modern, well-invested facility, converting mill-sized reels into reams, sheets, reels, and die-cut shapes to meet specialist design requirements.
Professionals trust our coated papers because they demand high-performance materials at every stage of the product lifecycle. In particular, these papers create a critical barrier that protects both the product and the surfaces it touches. Moreover, when used with baked or frozen foods, bitumen, butyls, or other industrial chemicals, our papers deliver dependable, application-specific performance.
OUR VALUES
We deliver excellent customer service through a proactive, solutions-driven approach. By building strong, collaborative relationships, we gain a deep understanding of customer needs—often anticipating them before they arise. This approach ensures tailored support at every stage.
We apply stringent quality controls at every stage of the manufacturing process. Our procedures are supported by a BRC ‘High Risk’ Hygiene accreditation and a formal HACCP plan, ensuring product safety, consistency, and compliance with industry standards.
We know that speed of response is critical, especially in the NPD supply chain. Our clients value us for reacting quickly and turning around bespoke, demanding projects within very tight timescales.
Sustainability drives our business philosophy. We operate as a Carbon Net Zero (Scope 2) and Zero Landfill business. We source 100% of our papers from sustainably managed forests that prioritise biodiversity and replanting strategies.
We recognise that every application differs and each process demands a unique approach. We tailor our solutions, products, and service levels to meet the specific needs of each client.
OUR PRODUCTS
Linwood Raker manufactures high-performance siliconised release papers for demanding industrial and chemical applications. These include:
• Double-sided tape separation
• Bitumen and butyl extrusion
• Hot melt adhesive packaging
Our papers are engineered for environments where temperatures exceed 150 °C, offering consistent release and thermal resilience.
We also convert a wide range of superfine papers – such as clay-coated kraft, glassine, and super-calendared kraft – each available with customised release properties to suit specific applications.
Nearly all products can be supplied as reams, sheets, reels, or die-cut shapes, tailored to your operational needs.
For sustainable packaging, businesses can combine our coated papers with corrugated board to create a robust, recyclable alternative to plastic. This cost-effective and versatile solution unlocks a wide array of packaging possibilities, and most combinations recycle easily into new materials.
We understand the importance of protecting food from the surfaces it contacts. That is why we offer 100% sustainably sourced speciality papers, tailored to the needs of bakers, butchers, confectioners, and foodservice providers.
Drawing on years of expertise, technical innovation, and a strong commitment to environmental responsibility, we have developed a portfolio of high-performance papers to support every stage of your process – from production to point of sale.
Our papers deliver real value to food businesses of all sizes. With our extensive inventory, we help you choose the right grade, weight, and format for your application. Whether you need reams, reels, sheets, or die-cut shapes, we convert them to meet your exact requirements.
We offer a specification and paper weight for every food or bakery process. Where off-the-shelf solutions are not suitable, we can develop bespoke grades to meet your unique needs – unlocking performance and efficiency.

Not Just Paper—A Performance Material
Baking paper is more than a disposable product—it is a technical solution that adds real, measurable value to your operation. Let us help you choose the right product to enhance quality, reduce waste, and improve presentation.
• Tray liners for presentation only?
In this case, a heat-resistant silicone coating is not necessary—a more economical alternative may be ideal.
• Do you re-use your baking paper?
Most of our papers can be used multiple times, depending on the type of product and level of residue. We will advise on the most suitable specification for your use case.
Bespoke Paper Products – Customised for Performance and Purpose
At Linwood Raker, we create bespoke paper products that combine technical performance with tailored design – transforming standard paper into specialised solutions for industrial protection, food contact, and process separation.
Every specification is developed with precision and attention to detail, reflecting the unique requirements of the client. From coated bakery papers to chemical-resistant substrates, our custom solutions are designed to perform across a wide range of demanding applications.
Our bespoke offering goes beyond functionality—it showcases artisanal craftsmanship and engineering expertise. Our design team and production specialists apply their skill to transform client concepts into high-quality, production-ready formats. Whether you need reams, sheets, reels, or die-cut shapes, we deliver paper-based products that meet purpose, drive sustainability, and comply with industry standards.
Pancharta is our dedicated brand offering a carefully curated range of baking paper products designed specifically for the home baking market.
Professional-quality baking paper is an essential tool that elevates the home baking experience. Its non-stick surface ensures easy release of baked goods, preventing tearing or sticking to trays and tins. As a reliable liner, it protects baking sheets from spills and residue – minimising cleanup and extending the life of your bakeware.
This heat-resistant baking paper performs in high-temperature environments, making it ideal for everything from delicate pastries to artisan breads. It preserves flavours and promotes even browning, so you achieve consistent, golden results every time.
But baking is just the beginning. Our paper’s versatility makes it perfect for:
• Separating dough layers for freezing
• Tempering chocolate
• Creating disposable piping bags
Whether you are lining a tray, rolling cookie dough, or managing sticky mixtures, professional baking paper simplifies your process – giving you reliable results with less mess.
TESTIMONIAL
We are focussed on solving problems and making lives easier for our customers, so it is rewarding when we receive positive feedback.
“We hadn’t appreciated the complexity behind silicone-coated paper until Linwood Raker audited our usage. They rationalised our supply to two grades with specific purposes, improving performance while cutting both cost and weight—a strong business case study.”
Ron A
– Chemical Solutions
“For years, we used the wrong type of paper without realising a more cost-effective option suited our baking process. Linwood Raker identified the right solution and worked directly with our waste provider to secure recycling status for our used papers, ensuring diversion from landfill.”
Kev P
– Master Baker
“We lined our ingot trays with plastic bags, wasting up to 10% of the finished product and leaving an unsightly finish. Linwood Raker designed a precisely sized liner that eliminated waste and delivered a flawless finish. Highly recommended!”
