PAPER CONVERTING BLOG

From wrapping meat to sandwiches, butcher paper serves a purpose for an array of food service businesses. Although standard butcher paper is often white or brown, there are many options for dressing up this valuable paper product. When you consider the marketing benefits of custom butcher paper, it’s easy to see why your brand name should be standing out on your next order. (hint: it's less than a penny to wrap a footlong sandwich in personalized butcher paper!)

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.

There’s no such thing as being over-prepared when the holiday season rolls around each year. This couldn’t be truer for businesses like restaurants and grocery stores, which have a surge in business during the holidays. By the end of the year, people rush into your stores as your resources are in higher demand. As you gain more traction from customers preparing to entertain family and friends, it’s important to make sure you have all the right supplies at the ready. That’s where custom food service paper comes in. 

As the fall season approaches, now is the time for retailers to order essential shipping supplies for the holidays.

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: 

A few weeks ago we talked about 4 popular printing methods, and you likely came away convinced that “flexo” is the way to go.  The quick-drying wide range of inks, potential for high productivity, durable plates, possibility of multiple colors, ability to print on a wide range of materials and overall probability of exceptional quality are very appealing. 

For many Americans, hunting season is just a few weeks away.  If this happens to be your favorite time of year, then you need to begin considering how you will store and most effectively preserve the meat that you and your family don’t consume within the first 48 hours after processing. 

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?
