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.
In many restaurants, Kraft paper and Butcher paper have starring roles, not only as a tray liner but as a tabletop cover too. Paper tablecloths are not just for casual picnic-style joints, but are proving to be an effective alternative to linens at even the finest of establishments. Taking It a step further, diners and uber-chic cafes and bistros alike are taking advantage of custom printing options on kraft and butcher paper, creating a unique and even artistic vibe that matches their restaurant’s personality.
