Melbourne cafes can transition away from plastic without sacrificing their brand aesthetic by utilising certified sugarcane (bagasse) and corrugated cardboard packaging. Bagasse offers a clean, modern look with superior heat-retention and oil resistance for wet meals. Conversely, corrugated cardboard delivers a premium, rustic aesthetic alongside absolute structural rigidity, making it the superior choice for large catering orders and heavy takeaway items.
The Aesthetic and Performance of Sugarcane (Bagasse)
Presentation is critical for premium hospitality venues. When replacing clear plastics, venue owners often worry about presentation degradation. Our sugarcane and plant fibre packaging—spanning clamshells, bowls, tubs, plates, and cutlery—provides a minimalist, matte-white aesthetic that elevates food presentation.
Operational Performance: Beyond looks, bagasse has rapidly become the popular choice because it provides superior heat-retention and exceptional moisture and oil resistance compared to standard paperboard. This ensures saucy or oily dishes do not compromise the container before it reaches the customer.

Corrugated Cardboard: Structural Rigidity for Catering
For venues executing large-scale catering or delivering heavy items, the packaging must look premium while performing under physical stress.
- The Catering Standard: Corrugated cardboard offers a rustic, high-end, and eco-friendly aesthetic. Operationally, it is vastly superior in terms of structural rigidity.
- Our Range: We supply corrugated catering boxes, presentation trays, takeaway clam-style boxes, and cake boxes designed specifically to prevent crushing or collapsing during transit.

Compliance: The Victorian Single-Use Plastics Ban
Aesthetics must be backed by strict compliance. We are fully compliant with the Victorian single-use plastics ban. When upgrading your venue to certified eco-packaging and disposables, Melbourne venues must look for ‘true’ certification labels to avoid misleading claims.
Home vs. Industrial: Look for the Home Compostable (Compost bin) logo for items that naturally decompose in domestic setups, or the Industrially Compostable (Seedling) logo for items requiring the high heat of commercial facilities to properly decompose.
