Custom Packaging

New Orleans is one of America's great food cities, from beignets and pralines to king cakes, coffee and Creole spice blends, and its festivals and Mardi Gras season bring huge visitor numbers. Local brands ship pralines, coffee and king cakes all over the country.

Packaging for New Orleans businesses
Louisiana has no statewide bag or foam ban, so packaging decisions in New Orleans are mostly about food safety, presentation and shipping food that has to arrive fresh.
New Orleans hosts a huge festival calendar beyond Mardi Gras, including its jazz and food festivals, and its French Quarter shops sell hot sauce, coffee and pralines to visitors year-round. Humidity is the practical challenge: packaging stock should be stored in air-conditioned space.
Pralines, king cakes and pastries
Bakeries and confectioners need king cake boxes, praline boxes and shipping boxes.
Coffee and spices
Coffee roasters and spice makers need coffee boxes, gift sets and food cartons.
Hospitality and festivals
Hotels, restaurants and festivals need takeout packaging, branded bags and souvenir boxes.
