Butcher Paper
Originally developed for meat markets in the early 20th century, butcher paper is a durable, moisture-resistant kraft-based paper used to wrap fresh meat. Over time, it found new roles in barbecue, delis, seafood counters, and even crafts.
Used for: wrapping fresh meat and poultry, BBQ smoking, deli packaging, food tray lining, and rustic food presentation.

Freezer Paper
Freezer paper was created to improve long-term food storage by combining kraft paper with a polyethylene coating on one side. This innovation protects food from freezer burn and moisture loss while allowing easy labeling.
Used for: wrapping meat for freezing, storing fish or poultry, protecting baked goods, and labeling frozen items.
