Do you truss your turkey or chicken before cooking? With Thanksgiving fast-approaching, here’s a quick cooking tip: most chefs recommend trussing your bird before putting it in the oven. Trussing closes the turkey cavity and prevents the breast from drying out before the thighs and legs are properly cooked. That way, you end up with a juicy, well-cooked turkey on the big day. Yum!
Trussing a turkey can be a little intimidating, especially if you’re a novice cook like me. It reminds me of playing that “Cats in the Cradle” string game as kids. To truss effectively, you need some cooking twine ..read more

When I say, “clamshell,” what comes to mind? Do you think of an oyster?
That’s exactly what clamshell packaging is – a hinged container that completely surrounds the “pearl” of a product inside.
Why is Clamshell Packaging So Popular?
Clamshell packaging is popular in the marketplace because it offers several benefits for brands:
It’s a Branding Boost: A transparent plastic clamshell allows your product to be clearly visible to consumers. And a printed insert card provides ample billboard space to market your product. Branding boost!

It’s mid-August. Probably 100 degrees in the shade. Hopefully you haven’t gotten a sunburn with blisters this summer. Ouch! When you think of the word “blister” does your face cringe? Mine does, but primarily because I associate the word “blister” with pain rather than protection.
Did you know that the body forms a blister to protect the skin? Fluid fills in between layers of skin and provides a “cushion of protection” to prevent infection and help it heal.
In a similar way, blister packaging protects your product during shipping, transport and display at retailers. The pro ..read more

Recently, plastic has gotten a bad rap as a packaging option. But did you know that not all plastic is deemed “bad” for the environment? It comes down to what the plastic is made of and if those components can be recycled.
Take PET (polyethylene terephthalate) for instance. It’s actually one of the most recycled plastics globally, making it a sustainable option for packaging. Rohrer uses PET to create most of its plastic folding cartons and PET is 100% recyclable. Just one of the perks of plastic folding cartons.
Why Choose Plastic Folding Cartons for Your Packaging? &n ..read more

A packaging riddle for you: What’s cool, 100% repulpable and recyclable, and comes in a variety of colors?
The answer: Cold Foil.
Let’s see how cold foil works and why it’s such a “cool” printing technique for your packaging.
How Does Cold Foil Work?
The cold foil printing process has been around for about a decade. At Rohrer, we’ve recently noticed more brands using it to add some eco-friendly “bling” to their packaging.
Here’s how it works:
UV-activated adhesive is offset printed onto the substrate on the first printing unit.
