Custom compostable packaging made to protect and biodegrade.
Custom-printed compostable mailers and cartons that biodegrade completely in 90 to 180 days.
Custom printed packaging made from certified bio-polymers and FSC-certified papers that break down completely within 180 days. These durable shipping solutions protect your retail products during transit while meeting strict international compostability standards. Create a tangible connection to your environmental values with custom sizes, thicknesses, and water-based ink designs.
Cubit compostable packaging provides high-performing protection for e-commerce brands while matching strict ecological standards. Built from bio-based polymers, FSC-certified papers, and compostable soy inks, these shipping solutions degrade into organic, nutrient-rich compost instead of lingering in landfills or breaking down into synthetic microplastics. They are certified under global standards EN 13432 and ASTM D6400, confirming they leave zero toxic residues behind.
Our compostable mailers and structural cartons offer the same tear resistance and tensile strength as petroleum-based plastics. The flexible film mailers include a double self-adhesive peel-and-seal strip to encourage customer returns, reducing total packaging waste. This collection fits DTC apparel lines, clean beauty brands, and organic dry foods that want to build a sustainable shipping workflow.
By choosing Cubit, you work with a production partner that guides you through the technical requirements of eco-friendly packaging. We offer variable extrusion thicknesses, plant-based flexography, and direct digital printing to bring your brand assets to life on sustainable surfaces. Our materials are storage-stable for 10 to 12 months, giving you a reliable supply chain without degradation issues.
