Paper is paper, right? Not necessarily. Although butcher paper and freezer paper can be used for similar purposes in the food service industry, that doesn’t make them the same thing. Custom paper products not only help improve a restaurant’s image, but they also help staff to prepare and serve food safely and easily. It's essential to choose paper products carefully and stock your restaurant with the items that will keep your business running smoothly and efficiently.

Believe it or not, you can take on dinner and décor all with paper. Find out how a roll of pink butcher paper can help you serve dinner in style. 

Making and serving pasteles during the holidays is a Puerto Rican tradition and is a popular dish in many Latin America and Caribbean countries. Pasteles are savory treats that are typically the product of a family team effort. Each person in the family, even the youngest, is assigned a job of grating, mixing, stuffing, or wrapping. Pasteles are made with pork or chicken and adobo stuffing. Then they are encased in a green plantain or yuca masa and wrapped in banana leaves. Finally, they are wrapped in a specialty paper that is engineered to withstand the boiling process. Traditional pasteles are boiled, not steamed. Hold your pasteles together with the best quality pasteles paper, available from Oren International. We have created a premium 12"x12" Oren's Original Pasteles Paper for all your holiday inspired cooking.

Freezer paper is a polyethylene coated paper with many uses.  At Oren International, we offer Sentry Brand freezer papers in White and Natural colors, which are specially crafted to conform to the shape of the food item being wrapped, while the poly coating zips moisture in to prevent freezer burn.  Freezer paper is often used in delis, restaurants and grocery stores as a quick-serve sheet to wrap sandwiches, deli meats and cheeses. 

Many organizations today are aware of the importance of their impact on the environment, and take steps toward a more “green” approach. With this interest in preserving the environment, paper usage is often a hot topic. The ultimate question is: are paper products hurting or helping the environment?
