PAPER CONVERTING BLOG

As hunters everywhere gear up for the start of hunting season, now is the time to prepare for it with the right tools. Beyond the equipment needed for the hunt, it’s important to stock up on the necessary materials to preserve meat after the adventure. Using high quality freezer paper is the most economical way to store meat, game, fish and poultry in the freezer for extended periods of time. Freezer paper’s poly coating keeps moisture inside to prevent freezer burn and conforms to the food item being wrapped.

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?

Summer is officially less than two weeks away, and that means more time to enjoy outdoor activities. After the pool parties, trips to the beach or camping adventures are over, it’s time to eat. One easy way to entertain guests and soak up the sun is with a cookout. Hosting a party doesn’t have to be expensive.

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 this summer. 

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 more quickly 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.

Marketing agencies in the restaurant industry know that the right type of visual branding can improve an eatery’s recognition. Because restaurant marketing agencies strive to increase clients' sales and devoted customers, it’s a frequent mission to look for new ways to promote restaurants and food trucks. It may seem difficult to find creative ways to enhance a restaurant’s brand, but the solution is actually very simple. Custom printing food service paper like sandwich wrap, basket and tray liners and tabletop covers can boost a restaurant's aesthetics and promote brand recognition, often in the hands of customers.

The PPI Pulp and Paper Week conference has been an important resource for the pulp and paper industry for more than 30 years, helping people stay on top of key industry news, market trends. It's an event that brings together the many sides of the paper industry, hence the slogan, “where the industry meets.” Businesses often rely on Paper Week for their face to face meetings to discuss graphic papers, containerboard and packaging. At Oren International, we go way back with PPI Pulp and Paper Week. Eighteen years back, in fact.

Custom printed Linerboard for industrial use, wrapping or packaging is one more way to boost your brand.
