PAPER CONVERTING BLOG

Sometimes the simple things in life are the best things. When something is stripped of complications, it can make us appreciate its core purpose more. Let’s take butcher paper, for example. At Oren, we offer different versions of butcher paper like custom printed butcher paper with logos for restaurants and delis, but we also offer quality unprinted white and pink butcher paper. 

Where does plain butcher paper come in? Our certified CounterKraft™ butcher paper from Georgia Pacific is of the highest quality and comes in a variety of widths/sizes to fit different needs. The simplicity of plain butcher paper can generate some creative opportunities. Here are a few ways that you can use butcher paper outside the deli case.

Butchers, deli owners and hunters all have something in common.  They share the desire to preserve meat in impeccable condition for consumption in the future. Butchers and hunters often need to store their meat for a later date. Regular freezer paper can preserve meat for a long period of time and prevent against freezer burn.

As many tube and core manufacturers know, the success of tube and core products largely depends on the quality of the paper and processes used to create it. Because tubes and cores are essential for many industrial and commercial uses, including tape rolls, paper rolls or sustainable alternatives to plastic products, they require a high level of durability and design. 

At Oren, we produce exceptional paper that is specially designed for our tube and core manufacturers to use for a variety of industries. Not only do we offer standard paper for tube and core manufacturing, we offer custom slitting and printing of linerboard. 

Grocery store, deli and butcher shop owners alike know the importance of butcher paper when it comes to the display and care of their meat. Why not boost your efforts and ditch the plain butcher paper to make a more premium presentation for your top quality meat?  Although unprinted butcher paper has many uses, custom branded paper can set your meat apart from the rest and associate your name with the quality product you offer.

As the fall season approaches, now is the time for retailers to order essential shipping supplies for the holidays. Although you may have accounted for in-house holiday necessities and promotional displays, it’s important to keep your shipping materials in mind this season. Between a vast influx of outgoing orders during the holiday shopping season and the desire to market your business to your customers, it’s time to order customized kraft paper to fill your shipping boxes.

Fall is fast approaching, and that means one thing for devoted hunters - hunting season is nearly upon us. Because of that, now is the time to start preparing to make this your best hunting season yet. Your gun may be loaded with the right ammo, but is your freezer ready to be loaded with the right type of freezer paper to preserve your meat?  Here are some key things to remember when preparing for hunting season: 

When strolling through a local butcher shop or grocery store, checking out the meat on display is a must. A delicious prime rib sitting in a plastic, prepackaged tray may not have the same effect as the same cut of meat boasting on a colorful piece of steak or tray paper. If appearances matter, then steak and tray paper are the missing pieces to spruce up your deli case. Why make the switch?

Butcher paper is the type of paper traditionally used by butchers to wrap meat and fish, while kraft paper, in brown or white, has a range of uses from industrial shipping to packaging. Both of these paper types actually have a wide variety of uses outside of your local butcher shop or manufacturing facility.  

With the rising popularity of technology such as eBooks and digital readers, and easy access to smartphones and tablets, traditional paper mills now have the opportunity to create new products in different sectors and industries. Last week we attended the Paper Week 2013 Conference in Chicago, which is a large paper industry event Hosted by the American Forest & Paper Association and the NPTA Alliance. After admiring the green Chicago River in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we discussed new product innovations with several paper mills, industry partners, customers and paper brokers.
