Product Description
These Colpac sandwich packs are made from kraft paperboard with a PLA (plant-based polylactic acid) window panel. The combination gives you a pack that presents sandwiches clearly at point of sale while moving away from conventional petroleum-based plastics. Both the paperboard base and the PLA window are compostable in an industrial composting facility within 16 weeks, making these a practical choice for operators working towards reduced-plastic or zero-waste commitments.
In a food-to-go or café environment, the clear PLA window does the job expected of it — customers can see the sandwich filling without staff having to open the pack or explain the contents. The kraft construction holds its shape reasonably well under normal counter display and chilled cabinet conditions, though like all paper-based packs it is not suited to prolonged exposure to moisture or condensation.
- Plant-based PLA window gives clear product visibility at display
- Kraft paperboard construction with compostable credentials
- Suitable for industrial composting within 16 weeks
- Consistent pack format supports efficient sandwich production line assembly
- Supplied in 500s, practical for moderate- to high-volume operations
From a practical standpoint, these packs are straightforward to work with on a sandwich assembly line — the uniform sizing helps with consistent portioning and stacking for display. They are not heat-sealed units, so they suit cold-fill sandwiches and wraps rather than hot-hold applications. Storage should be in a cool, dry environment to maintain the integrity of both the board and the PLA window ahead of use.
These packs are well suited to independent cafés, sandwich bars, farm shops, and contract catering operations looking for a presentable, sustainably positioned packaging option. For very high-volume sites, it is worth considering whether bulk case quantities offer better value; and for operators needing heat-resistant or grease-resistant packaging, a different pack format would be more appropriate.
If you are reviewing your packaging range and want guidance on which formats suit your menu and service style, our team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- These packs perform well under standard chilled cabinet conditions for typical display periods. However, prolonged exposure to condensation or moisture can affect the integrity of the kraft board, so it is worth monitoring display times and cabinet humidity if that is a concern in your operation.
- Both the paperboard and PLA window require industrial composting conditions to break down correctly — home composting is not sufficient. Operators should confirm that their waste contractor accepts industrially compostable packaging before adopting these packs as part of a sustainability scheme.
- No — these are cold-fill packs and are not designed for hot-hold or warm sandwich use. For hot or toasted sandwich applications, a heat-resistant pack format would be the more appropriate choice.
