Did you know that sweet potatoes are one of the fastest growing agricultural markets today? One reason is that they are much healthier than other snack products on retail shelves. As we prepare for the Super Bowl, here's a recipe for sweet potatoes that your party goers will love. *Recipe originally from http://paleomg.com/ I love.sweet potatoes. I love sweet potato fries. Sweet potato hash browns. Sweet potato hash. Sweet potato cakes. Sweet potato brownies…WOW, that was a good idea. Doin’ it. They are pretty much the best starch of all time. And they go with everything. Chocolate. Cheese. Meat. Almond butter. Sweet potatoes are the perfect food. Don’t fight me on this. You’ll lose. Since most of us are in love with chowing down on chips at parties, these are an epic alternative. And way more delicious. I’m serious. Homemade chips are just way better. You could make beet chips too!! Then serve it with Roasted Red Pepper dip. Duh. So you know how when you’re at a super bowl party and have to make some uncomfortable conversation with random awkward person in the room….I love awkward those people. I’m pretty overbearing to most people, especially awkward people. If people are uncomfortable around me, I’m really REALLY good at making them even more uncomfortable. Even more uncomfortable than this guy on the left side at 0:11 and 0:17 seconds. Watch him in this commercial. Seriously do it. I keep watching seconds 0:10 through 0:20 and laugh by myself. Then Laura will chime in with laughter. I heart her. I want to hold this man and make him feel less scared of the cameras that are video taping him. He’s an awkward turtle. I love him. I can’t wait to hang out with him at my Super Bowl party. With cheesy bread. Ok, everything I just said was a complete lie. I would crap myself if I ate that cheesy bread. It might be worth it though. Especially if I was being forced to watch the super bowl. Super Bowl Sweet Potato Chips I love.sweet potatoes. I love sweet potato fries. Sweet potato hash browns.

This iconic packaging material, invented in Hawthorne, New Jersey back in 1957, has become a cultural icon celebrated by millions around the globe. The originally intended use for Bubble Wrap® was entirely different than how it is used today. Inventors Marc Chavannes and Al Fielding originally developed a plastic they hoped to market as textured wallpaper. When that idea did not take off, the inventors began to have some success marketing the product as a greenhouse insulator. Chavannes then realized that Bubble Wrap® brand cushioning could be used as an improvement from paper and old newspapers for cushioning fragile items. Once the opportunity was identified, the inventors worked hard on the manufacturing process or Bubble Wrap® cushioning in an effort to create an ideal packaging material. After a lot of tinkering, they developed a special, proprietary barrier protection which prevented air from leaking and resulted in the crisp "Pop" that Bubble Wrap® brand is famous for. ![]() For a limited time, SSI Packaging Group is offering discounts up to 15% when you trade in your OLD inkjet marking system for a new .core inc.jet high definition (high resolution) industrial inkjet marking system.* With a bulk ink handling system included as an essential part of an integrated head, .core units are the most cost effective way of printing on cases and cartons.

![]() EPS, expanded polystyrene packaging, will soon be banned in New York City. NYC is one of many on a growing list of major U.S. cities that are changing how companies utilize alternative packaging materials. Foam containers and packaging peanuts will banned beginning July 2015 in the city. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio made the announcement last Thursday. Products made with EPS like packaging peanuts, foam cups, etc. are already banned in other cities across America including Washington, DC, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Oakland, Portland, Albany and Seattle. This trend is expected to be adopted by other cities and localities over the next several years. "By removing nearly 30,000 tons of expanded polystyrene waste from our landfills, streets and waterways, today's announcement is a major step towards our goal of a greener, greater New York City,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. He said that as these products are phased out, industry will shift it’s use from environmentally harmful products to more earth-friendly products. This sort of shift will need to happen within the next few months in order to be prepared for the upcoming changes. While many cities and states across the country still allow use of EPS products, it is vital for business leaders to begin thinking about alternative packaging solutions that have less impact on the environment. SSI Packaging Group offers a wide range of packaging products that can not only secure your products, but also help reduce your bottom line. EPS Alternative Packaging Products

Have you ever opened a container from your refrigerator and sniffed it to see if it was still edible? With the date codes printed on food items these days it's easier to know how long an item can be shelved in your kitchen, but once the item is opened or cooked the expiration date and use by date may not be as important as when the item was first cooked or exposed to air. The date codes on boxes, cans, and other packed foods are printed on the surface of the food packaging from high speed coding equipment such as the Matthews e-Mark C02 laser coding system, the e-Solarmark C02 system, and Leibinger's Jet2Neo and Jet 3 inkjet systems are key elements to clear marking and coding solutions for food manufacturers and producers. See the chart below for suggested storage times for refigerated and frozen foods:
