All PacknWood products follow the innovative First Pack theme of the ecolomique, a blend of the French words for ecology and economy that First Pack coined in 1990. The idea is simple: we create value using natural, organic and recyclable materials. Our smooth and elegant finished products make the food you serve more enticing, all while preserving the environment.

INNOVATION

We are always looking to innovate, and this year’s catalog has many interesting new items, including a sugar cane cocktail plate, a mini muffin pan that goes right in the oven, and the bamboo pick holders pictured on the front cover. These are just some of the fun and trend-setting products that we can help you serve to your customers.
