PAPER CONVERTING BLOG

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities like Susan G.

Multiwall paper bags are often used as shipping and storage containers for bulk materials. In many cases, design and production artists can create and adapt multiwall bags that work for your specific needs, from a utility approach that simply identifies your product, to the more difficult task of grabbing the consumer’s attention at the point of sale.  There are two basic designs of bags:  open mouth bags and valve bags, and variations thereof.

Freezer paper is a polyethylene coated paper with many uses.  At Oren International, we offer Sentry Brand freezer papers, 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.
