It never ceases to impress us just how versatile kraft paper can be.

If your business revolves around packaging and shipping products, you’re already well aware of the headaches that can come with this, at times, complex business process.

For businesses that ship items regularly to customers or individuals looking to ship a gift to a friend across the country, there’s almost no end to the options available for you to choose. You can order boxes online, you can pick up shipping supplies at the local Post Office or UPS Store, and shipping materials come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and prices to satisfy almost every need imaginable.

As a business owner, you’re constantly looking for new ways to stretch a dollar while improving quality, speed, or another aspect of the service you provide.

Fast casual dining is one of the hottest and fastest-growing segments in the restaurant industry, and for good reason: it’s quick, relatively cheap, and most of all, it's fun. 

Today’s customers expect quite a bit from the restaurants they frequent. Aside from quality food and service, there are other key components many people are looking for, such as: a clean, comfortable, enjoyable atmosphere, an establishment that values ecological responsibility, or a restaurant that forgoes in-your-face selling at every corner. 

At Oren International, one of the key messages that we like to share is the fact that custom printed paper products can provide a lot of value for branding, marketing, and making the paper you use more attractive.
