A steakhouse serving a dry-aged ribeye and a butcher shop wrapping an order for a customer both have the same basic material to complete the presentation, but each one is requesting that paper to tell them a little bit different thing. Custom Printed Butcher Paper created to serve both purposes does not simply keep meat together, it solidifies precisely the type of quality that any business wants a customer to relate to the product.
The reason why Butcher Shops use Printed Butcher Paper.
Printed Butcher Paper goes home with every customer, lying on a kitchen counter as one of the cuts is unwrapped, and usually appears in a photo before the meat reaches a pan. That lasts, exposure in the shop window or a receipt in a bag never quite compares. To a butcher shop that competes based on trust and quality rather than price, a branded wrap cements that idea each time a customer takes a cut home.
Meat Wrap Paper installed at a retail counter also has to work under repetitive daily usage, wrapping dozens of various cuts, without tearing, slowing down the service, and letting moisture pass through before the customer is even out of the store.
What Steak Paper can do for Steakhouses?
Steak Paper used on the tableside or presentation has a different sort of weight than counter wrapping. A steakhouse that offers a high-quality cut on butcher paper is making a conscious style decision, one that requires the paper to appear clean and solid instead of thin and/or generic. Things like presentation of dishes are important to a restaurant with high prices, as customers are paying to see their dishes presented in specific ways.
Performance that Doesn't Cut Corners, Food Grade.
Food Packaging Paper employed in either of the two applications must not be a compromise to or an add-on to a generic piece of paper stock without real food-contact safety standards. Custom Meat Paper must also be able to withstand long-term exposure to fat and moisture, be it a butcher wrapping a fresh cut and storing it until later, or a steakhouse storing meat until it is served.
When a supplier can demonstrate its grease resistance in the field, not based on some generic statement, sourcing the item will save not only the daily activities of a butcher shop when using counters, but will also keep the dish on the plate of a steakhouse intact at the wrong time.
Wholesale Butcher Paper to Stockpile.
The pricing of Wholesale Butcher Paper is reduced sufficiently to make the custom branding an inherent aspect of a regularly ordered supply and not a luxurious option. The majority of butcher shops and steakhouses already process a fair amount of paper each week, whether it is printed or not, so the custom transition will not alter the amount of money they spend, but it will alter what their customers relate to the business that delivers it to them.
The Deli Paper Company delivers butcher paper to butcher shops and steakhouses, which is designed with a consistent quality standard and branded paper available to single-location-based businesses without having to achieve a volume similar to that of a large chain to make custom printing a viable option.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is custom-printed butcher paper much more expensive than plain paper?
A: Not wholesale. The price is low enough that the price difference is covered by most butcher shops and steakhouses in the current supply budget.
Q: Will butcher paper withstand longer contact with high-fat cuts?
A: Butcher paper is designed to handle that stress in quality food-grade butcher paper, but grease resistance depends on the weight of the paper, so it is important to check the specs before making a bulk purchase.
Q: Does it have a minimum order requirement?
A: No, order volume usually goes up to suit the business requirements at hand, and there is no pressure to purchase more than is utilized in a small shop.
