Behind the Batch: How We Package Gourmet Treats 100% Plastic-Free

May 20, 2026 · 5 min read · Raleigh, North Carolina

When we say 100% plastic-free, we mean it — from the bag your cookies rest in to the tape that seals the box. Here is how we keep that promise in our Raleigh, North Carolina kitchen on every single order.

Starting with the right materials

We package our gourmet cookies in food-safe glassine and kraft-paper liners, nestle them in recyclable boxes, and finish each one with natural cotton twine. No plastic windows, no poly bags, no bubble wrap.

  • Glassine liners keep cookies fresh and are home-compostable.
  • Kraft paper and recycled board protect treats in transit without foam or plastic.
  • Cotton twine and paper tape seal every box the old-fashioned way.

Why plastic-free matters in North Carolina

North Carolina's beaches, rivers, and forests are part of what makes living here special. Cutting plastic out of our packaging is a small way we try to protect the place our customers call home. It also means your gift can go straight into the recycling or compost bin — no guilt, no landfill.

Keeping treats fresh without plastic

The secret is baking in small batches and shipping quickly. Because our cookies are made fresh for each Monday and Wednesday drop, they do not need plastic to stay soft — they simply do not sit around long enough to go stale.

Thoughtful treats, thoughtfully wrapped. That is the Batch and Twine way.

Compliance

All food products manufactured in a North Carolina home kitchen approved by the NCDA&CS.

Food Allergy Notice: Batch and Twine products are prepared with the finest ingredients and contain common allergens including Wheat, Milk, and Eggs. While select menu items are formulated without nuts, all of our confections are baked and packaged in a shared facility that processes Peanuts and Tree Nuts (including Walnuts and Almonds). Because we operate out of a single artisanal space, we cannot guarantee the absolute absence of trace cross-contact. If you have a severe or life-threatening allergy, we advise against consuming our products.

Shipping & Perishability Terms: Because our premium treats are baked fresh to order using real dairy and chocolate without artificial stabilizers or preservatives, all sales are final. Batch and Twine is not liable for carrier transit delays, deliveries sent to incorrectly entered addresses, or packages left unattended outdoors following delivery. Shipped exclusively within North Carolina in 100% plastic-free, compostable materials.
