Who writes these guides?
The same people who price and proof your orders. They are written from questions buyers ask on the phone, not from a content calendar.
Are the guides specific to your paper or general?
General enough to use with any 40 lb butcher paper. Where a size or a color choice matters, they point to the product that fits.
Which guide should a first-time buyer read first?
The pink versus white versus brown comparison. It settles the color question, and most of the other choices follow from it.
Do the guides cover ribs and pork butt, or just brisket?
The wrapping guide covers brisket and ribs, and the same fold works on a pork butt.
Is there a guide on how many rolls a month I need?
Yes. The guide on roll width and length math works from your cuts per day to a monthly roll count.
Can I ask for a guide on a topic you have not covered?
Yes. Email the question and if it comes up often enough it gets a guide. In the meantime you get a direct answer.
Do the guides include prices?
No. Sheets start from $0.30 a sheet across the site and rolls are priced by the roll on a written quote; the guides stay about paper, not price.
How often are the guides updated?
When something changes: a new size, a new paper, or a better way to explain a fold. The date under each title shows the last revision.
Can I print a guide for the kitchen wall?
Yes. Each guide prints cleanly on letter paper from your browser, and nothing on the page is restricted.
Does one guide compare paper with foil and parchment?
Yes. It goes through heat, steam, grease and cost for each, cook by cook, and says plainly where foil still wins.
