Steak papers are a very durable display option to help reduce spoilage of meat, poultry and fish. Our colorful steak paper can also help meat, poultry and seafood stand out in grocery, butcher or deli display cases. The right color of food service paper can make a great impact on the presentation of fresh fish or Prime Angus steak in your butcher case. Not only do the various colors look nice, they actually were created for specific uses.

Paper is paper, right? Not necessarily. Although butcher paper and freezer paper can be used for similar purposes in the food service industry, that doesn’t make them the same thing. Custom paper products not only help improve a restaurant’s image, but they also help staff to prepare and serve food safely and easily. It's essential to choose paper products carefully and stock your restaurant with the items that will keep your business running smoothly and efficiently.

When is the last time you thought about the impact of your restaurant’s tray liners? Many restaurants, food trucks and delis need butcher paper tray liners or table covers to protect trays and tables and to keep food safe. Although food service paper may not seem like a strong way to market your restaurant, it’s important to consider the creative ways you can leave a memorable impression of your brand with your customers.  

Making and serving pasteles during the holidays is a Puerto Rican tradition and is a popular dish in many Latin America and Caribbean countries. Pasteles are savory treats that are typically the product of a family team effort. Each person in the family, even the youngest, is assigned a job of grating, mixing, stuffing, or wrapping. Pasteles are made with pork or chicken and adobo stuffing. Then they are encased in a green plantain or yuca masa and wrapped in banana leaves. Finally, they are wrapped in a specialty paper that is engineered to withstand the boiling process. Traditional pasteles are boiled, not steamed. Hold your pasteles together with the best quality pasteles paper, available from Oren International. We have created a premium 12"x12" Oren's Original Pasteles Paper for all your holiday inspired cooking.

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