Compostable Board for Everyday Baked Goods
This listing focuses on the food-safe, compostable board itself: an uncoated or bio-laminated kraft suited to bread, pastries, and general baked goods where grease resistance and compostability matter more than a display window. For a bakery box specifically built around a cake presentation window, see our Biodegradable Cake Boxes.
Popular Use Cases
- Bread and pastry bakeries: Daily to-go packaging that decomposes instead of sitting in a landfill.
- Donut and cookie shops: Grease-resistant compostable boxes for baked goods sold by the dozen.
- Farmers market and artisan bakers: Eco-positioned packaging that matches a sustainable, small-batch brand.
Compostable Material Options
Standard stock is uncoated kraft board that’s fully compostable and recyclable. For grease-heavy items, a plant-based bio-laminate coating adds moisture resistance without plastic film, keeping the box compostable while still holding up to butter and oil.
Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Packaging
A 2025 McKinsey & Company survey found over 60% of U.S. consumers pick green packaging when they have the choice. Crat Packaging offers recyclable and FSC-certified board options so you can meet that demand without paying a premium or waiting on long lead times.
