Common Questions & Answers
Q: Can I use this for toasties or hot sandwiches?
A: No. This pack is suitable only for chilled or ambient temperature products. Exposure to heat can deform the PLA window and weaken the board structure.
Q: Can customers recycle this sandwich pack?
A: Yes, the paperboard is recyclable if it's clean. The PLA window should be separated if local waste streams do not accept compostables.
Q: What does "commercially compostable" mean?
A: It means the PLA window can break down in a controlled industrial composting facility within 90 days. It is not suitable for home composting.
