Baking Boxes

Paper bags: If you sell fresh bread, bagels, and pastries, this can be your staple. Paper bags are great for short-term storage, as they allow air to circulate, which keeps crusts crisp.
Cardboard boxes: Cardboard boxes have solid structural integrity, which means your cakes, pies, and cupcakes are protected from being crushed in transit.
Parchment Paper and Liners: You likely won’t use this as your main packaging, as they prevent the baked good from sticking to them. They usually serve as a non-stick layer inside boxes or to wrap individual items like pastries or cookies.
Kraft Paper: This material is loved for its natural brown color and the sturdy base it provides for bakery packaging. It’s handy if you want to project an artisanal, organic, or eco-conscious brand image.

Plastic Clamshells and Containers: If you want customers to salivate the moment they sight your cupcakes, macarons, or individual slices of cake, plastic clamshells are the perfect choice. They are typically rigid to allow adequate protection for your baked goods.
Plastic Bags and Films (Polyethylene and Polypropylene): This is commonly used for pre-packaged goods like sandwich bread, cookies, and rolls. Plastic bags and films can be heat sealed for a secure, tamper-evident closure.

Biodegradable and Compostable Plastics (PLA): These plant-based plastics offer similar convenience and transparency to traditional plastics. And they have the added benefit of breaking down under certain conditions.
Recycled Paper and Cardboard: From the name, you can tell that this material reduces the need for virgin resources. Recycled paper and cardboard are widely available and can be repurposed into boxes, bags, and other packaging.
Grass paper: This paper has a unique texture and low-impact production process, perfect for eco-conscious brands. It’s made from a combination of grass and recycled paper fibers, an innovative and sustainable approach.
