Common Questions & Answers
Q: Is this box compostable?
A: No. While the paperboard is recyclable, the PET window is not compostable and should be removed before composting the board.
Q: Can it be used for greasy or iced products?
A: It's best for dry, finished cupcakes or muffins. If your product has a lot of frosting, consider using a grease-resistant insert or liner.
Q: Is this box suitable for freezer or microwave use?
A: No. This is for ambient conditions only. It's not designed for heating or freezing temperatures.
Q: Can I custom print my logo or branding on this box?
A: Not on this pre-printed SKU (01CAKE1), but Colpac does offer custom print options for MOQ orders -- worth contacting them directly for bespoke runs.
Q: Is this packaging compliant with UK food contact and environmental claims law?
A: Yes. The box is food-safe and recyclable. No misleading sustainability claims are made. It aligns with CMA 2021 green claims guidance by clearly stating the recyclability of both components separately and not over-claiming biodegradability or compostability.
