PAPER CONVERTING BLOG

How often do you pay attention to the tabletop covers at your favorite restaurant? If they are solid white or black, you probably don’t think twice. As those in the food service industry know, tabletop covers are as important as any other dining feature.

Recently, Oren International worked with a large, independent tube and core manufacturer in the Southeast to improve and simplify their printing and production process. Here’s a look at how we turned their messy problem into a simple and cost-effective solution.

Many companies have a budget that expires at the end of the year, and managing that budget can be tricky. The balance between saving enough money for emergencies and spending enough money appropriately can be a challenge for any organization. If you don’t spend your budget by the end of the year, your company could run the risk of losing the same allocation of funds next year. 

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.

With hunting season in full swing, many hunters are accumulating meat from different excursions and will continue to in the following months. Freezer paper is a great way to store a wide variety of meat during hunting season. Freezer paper comes in different grades and sizes to fit your storage needs and can be written on to record the date and any other details identifying what’s inside the package.

It’s created to preserve meat for long periods of time and prevent against freezer burn or spoilage. We now offer custom camo printed freezer paper for those celebrating hunting season.

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.

With their strength and versatility, the uses for tubes and cores are boundless. From product and shipping containers, rolled artwork or documents to tape and industrial uses, tubes and cores are an important aspect of packaging, shipping and storing many products. 

There’s only one holiday where ghosts, witches, costumes and candy are the stars of the show at the end of October. The superstitions and eerie traditions of Halloween allow us to embrace the creepy side of life for a night. In that case, what is more frightening than spiders? Oren is taking on Halloween this year, paper style. Check out at this fun and easy way to make a decorative spider out of black kraft paper for your Halloween festivities this year.

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. 

Every printing job requires a different set of needs. Black and white newspapers and colorful flashy signs don’t use the same printing process, and it’s important to know why. At Oren, we use several printing processes for different types of materials. Two of the most popular printing processes are flexographic and offset printing. Here are some helpful ways to distinguish which printing process will be used for your next order.
