Rusty Keg Tavern - Switching From Overseas Greaseproof Paper

200,000-unit run. Overseas paper was melting. Switched to US-manufactured greaseproof.

Rusty Keg Tavern's overseas greaseproof paper was melting and crumbling in the oven. That is Jonathan Ginou's description of the situation - direct, accurate, and the reason the account switched to Art Printing.

The switch was not driven by price, promotional terms, or a sales pitch. It was driven by a product failure on a 200,000-unit run. The overseas product did not perform in the basket application. Art Printing's paper - manufactured in the United States with FDA-approved inks - does.

The heat performance difference

Greaseproof paper used in a heated basket or wrap application is exposed to sustained heat from the food and from the environment. Overseas product calibrated to different standards can degrade under those conditions. Art Printing's paper is manufactured to US food service specifications. The failure mode Rusty Keg experienced is not one we have seen on our product in the same application.

What the switch involved

A 200,000-unit greaseproof paper order with Art Printing. US manufacturing. FDA-approved inks. Door-to-door delivery. The same product Art Printing runs for every customer, at the scale Rusty Keg required.
