Kitchen shelf paper??

Hi
We've just had a new kitchen installed and I want to line the shelves with paper to help keep them clean, as I've always done but this time am struggling to buy shelf paper.
I've always got from a stationery shop but tried everywhere including on-line. Any suggestions? I don't want sticky / contact paper or wallpaper, just plain or ideally patterned that I can cut to fit.
Found some online in US but they charge $100 to ship to the UK!
Any suggestions on where to try online?

I didn't know you could buy shelf paper....I always use washable wallpaper for ours - just wipe it over every now and again to keep it clean

Would greaseproof paper or baking parchment do it?

we always use wallpaper on the shelves in the cellar but find a clean of the cupboards more effective than dust and mite grabbers in our cupboards in the kitchen0

Yes - I've always got it from stationery shops - a company called Edsol in Leeds used to make it along with baking paper items such as cupcake cases etc. I think they have gone bust now.
I found these http://www.walmart.com/ip/Duck-20-x-6-Smooth-Top-Easy-Liner/16456553 which is just what I want but cannot find anywhere in UK that sells or supplies it.
Incidentially, I tried Lakeland and even contacted them as they are good at sourcing things but they came back with nothing. Will keep searching!0 -

I want the paper to stop the cupboard shelves getting scuffed/scratched rather than to keep them clean. My cupboards and shelf paper (!) get cleaned and changed 4 times a year so don't have a problem in that department!0 -
Huge roll of lining wall paper. Nice and cheep and will last ages0
