Food packaging is regulated for a reason

Food packaging must protect flavour, survive delivery, and carry nutrition and allergen data — all on board that is safe for direct food contact. Specifying it starts with your product temperature, moisture and shelf life, not a generic stock box.

The barrier options

  • FDA-compliant food-grade board and inks
  • Grease- and moisture-resistant interior coatings
  • Freezer-grade coatings for frozen SKUs
  • PLA-lined compostable board for eco lines
  • Vented board to release steam on warm product

Low MOQ for food startups

A low MOQ of 50 units lets food startups and ghost kitchens brand their packaging for a menu test or a new SKU without large inventory. Scale to volume pricing once the product is proven.
