As sustainability becomes a core priority for delis, bakeries, home bakers, caterers, and foodservice operators, the packaging industry is shifting fast. Customers want packaging that’s durable, functional, visually appealing, and just as important, eco-friendly. That’s why we’re excited to announce a powerful new partnership and product addition to our website: SOLUT! paper food packaging products, a line trusted by national brands like Panera Bread, Costco Wholesale, Sam’s Club, and Whole Foods Market.
This introduction isn’t just about adding new products. It’s about giving your business access to innovative, sustainable, high-performance packaging that aligns with your goals and your customers’ expectations. This blog will break down everything you need to know about SOLUT!, including their history, sustainability principles, the real benefits of their packaging, and the new products now available on our website.
To understand why SOLUT! stands out in the food packaging industry, it’s important to look at where they began.
SOLUT! started in 2005 under the parent company DuraCorp, LLC, with one clear vision: To deliver innovative, sustainable packaging solutions to the food handling and processing industry.
From the beginning, their mission wasn’t simply to create another line of disposable containers, it was to rethink how packaging could work better, last longer, and impact the environment less. The company’s values have always centered around three pillars:
As the company grew, so did their reputation. SOLUT!’s durable, high-performance paper bakeware and catering packaging quickly gained the trust of major national clients, including Panera Bread, Costco Wholesale, Rich Products, Sam’s Club, Rain Creek Baking, Whole Foods Market.
In 2008, the company officially rebranded to SOLUT! to emphasize their commitment to providing real-world solutions, not just products. Then, in 2014, they expanded into a 110,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Lewis Center, Ohio. This move allowed them to scale production, innovate faster, and maintain control over quality. Today, SOLUT! continues to manufacture all their paper packaging in-house, ensuring every item meets the standards their clients trust.
One of the most distinctive aspects of SOLUT! is their R&D foundation. Their management team worked with a Fortune 50 company to develop the proprietary technology used in SOLUT!’s material design. This advanced engineering is what allows their packaging to achieve an unusual combination of high strength, heat resistance, sustainability, and food safety.
The result?
Food packaging that not only performs well but contributes to long-term environmental improvement.
When you’re choosing packaging for food production, baking, meal prep, or catering, performance matters. But in today’s market, sustainability and waste reduction matter just as much. SOLUT! brings together both priorities through a series of thoughtful, forward-thinking innovations.
Below are the benefits that make SOLUT! a standout choice for businesses looking to upgrade their packaging.
One of SOLUT!’s biggest achievements is their ability to dramatically reduce plastic usage without sacrificing strength or function. Their packaging uses up to 50% less plastic than comparable PET containers, an important step for any business aiming to lower its environmental impact.
This benefit goes beyond sustainability. Customers increasingly prefer brands that visibly reduce plastic waste, and switching to SOLUT! packaging sends a clear message: Your business cares about the environment and invests in better solutions.
Many brands talk about sustainability, but few deliver it at the level SOLUT! does.
Their packaging uses up to:
✔ 95% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content
✔ 100% recyclable materials
This creates a true closed-loop system. Instead of materials ending up in landfills, renewed paper fibers are used again and again.
By adopting SOLUT!’s recycled paper and corrugated products, your business contributes directly to:
For delis, bakeries, commissaries, and caterers striving for eco-friendly operations, this benefit is game-changing.
SOLUT! believes in using only what is necessary, no excess layers, inserts, unnecessary coatings, or bulky materials. Their minimalist approach ensures:
This “less is more” model is especially valuable for high-volume operations that need to optimize every square foot of back-of-house storage.
Unlike plastics, paper is a renewable resource, but SOLUT! takes that concept even further.
Here’s what makes their sustainability foundation strong:
This approach ensures that choosing SOLUT! packaging helps regenerate natural resources rather than deplete them.
The majority of SOLUT! corrugated products meet the Fiber Box Association’s Repulpability & Recyclability Standard, meaning:
With 87% of Americans having access to paper recycling programs, SOLUT! packaging is more likely to be properly recycled than many alternative materials.
SOLUT! packaging is designed to perform well while minimizing carbon impact:
This makes SOLUT! packaging a strong option for companies tracking emissions or striving to meet sustainability commitments.
