Wood Food Packaging – 10 Great Ideas

Wood food packaging is not the most common thing to find but there are some clever examples where wood is sometimes used in food packaging. Check out these 10 great ideas on how to use wood in food packaging.

When it comes to food there aren’t that many options when it comes to packaging materials. The basic ones are paper, glass, metal or plastic. Then there are of course those who try to eliminate the packaging altogether and that is a trend that is bound to stay. Even though fruit and vegetables obviously already beat us to it.

But wood food packaging is not something you see everyday, and maybe that is not that strange. Wood is hardly the cheapest, most functional or easiest material for food. But that does not mean that it doesn’t exist.

I found a few examples where wood is being used, sometimes as a packaging and sometimes more like a design element. For me it looks great in both cases, check out these examples.

Let’s start out with an wood packaging that actually holds a product. This one is for a green tea. Looks beautiful.

Nothing spectacular about this Tabasco when it comes to the idea. It’s the same type of packaging that you get good wine in. But it’s not wine, it’s Tabasco so naturally I want one.
