PAPER CONVERTING BLOG

Restaurant owners rely on certain products to keep their business running smoothly. Paper is one product that has long been essential to the restaurant industry in many different ways from menus to food wrap or tabletop covers. Whether taking orders to presenting food, paper plays a huge role in the running and success of your restaurant.

Most of us have seen the popular AT&T commercial where a businessman asks children simple questions. “What’s better, bigger or smaller? Faster or slower?” The amusing answers that follow point out the simplicity of the question. The same could be asked about your restaurant’s sandwich wrap and tray liner. What’s better, boring or custom printed? Although there are many uses for plain butcher paper, custom branded paper can associate your name with the quality product you offer.

Many people in the food service industry need a special type of paper to store meat, fish and poultry in the freezer for extended periods of time. When searching for the right paper, a common mistake is to seek out wax coated butcher paper. Did you know that wax coated butcher paper is actually a thing of the past?

Butchers and grocery store owners know the importance of steak paper to enhance their meat displays. Steak paper makes meat stand out and improves its appearance by using different colors. Meat also appears more fresh and high quality when resting on a complementary hued steak paper instead of Styrofoam or another bland alternative. So, if you use steak paper, you shouldn’t have a problem, right? Actually, that might not be the case. Take a look at how the sizing of your steak paper affects your meat display:

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.

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.

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!)
