The world continues to focus on environmental standards and solutions. Terms such as “biodegradable,” “compostable,” and “green” are used interchangeably and inaccurately.

Biodegradable - Material is able to decompose or break down on its own in one year or

Last month I posted some information on how color impacts our lives and our business. It is fun and important to understand the impact of color! I have decided to provide some insight on the color yellow since we are in the dead of winter here in Wisconsin and I thought a little YELLOW may help! As you know, yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and

Understanding how color can impact your business and your customers impression of your establishment is critical in today’s competitive business environment. Color will help you distinguish your business from your competitors and is an integral part of your overall identification.

Last week we wrote about HOW to get involved with viral marketing via social media. Now we’re going to share our two cents worth on WHY it’s important. It’s all about inbound marketing – not finding your customers, but allowing your customers to find you. With all the tools available to customers today they seek you out through search engines, blogs, social media, your website, etc. It’s no

It’s that time of year again, when the word “viral” typically means the spreading of nasty colds and flu bugs. But Hoffmaster® is saying, “Bring on the viral!” Hoffmaster® has worked diligently over the last year to increase its word of mouth, or viral marketing. Over the last 12 months we’ve redesigned our website, launched a monthly e-mail, created our spokesperson Nate Gladmann and entered

How often have you thought, “Wouldn’t it be great to have napkins with our name or event on them?” Custom napkins can really add that special touch to your next occasion. Think about your upcoming weddings, anniversaries, showers, bar mitzvah/bat mitzvah, corporate events, trade shows, conferences, fund raisers, sporting events, holiday parties, graduations, retirements…well, you get the idea!

The cold and flu season is upon us. Now more than ever before people are extremely aware of spreading germs, preventing the spread of flu and hand washing. I know everyone is aware of the proper method of hand washing, but do you know the best way to dry your hands and why it is so important? According to an article from Tissue World by Roger Gaudreault, PhD, moisture left on hands not properly

Now, more than ever before, there’s a huge focus on sanitation. This focus is very broad and expands from your home, to your children’s school, to college campuses, to restaurants. Disposable, single-use products will help keep surfaces sanitary and you and your family healthy. Single-use tabletop products such as placemats and napkins are key when talking about sanitation and disease prevention

Napkins and tabletop accessories are what we do best. For more than 60 years we have worked tirelessly to bring you a huge selection of quality, attractive (yet disposable!) tabletop products – and picked up tons of information about the industries we service along the way.
