140mm Compostable Wooden Cutlery Boxed, Wholesale Supply
Most of our wooden cutlery range is built for food service — restaurants, catering, events. This 140mm boxed set is a little different. It’s sized and packaged for something closer to home: family meal kits, supermarket retail packs, and everyday consumer use where the buyer isn’t a restaurant but a household reaching for a compostable alternative to plastic cutlery in their kitchen drawer or lunch box.
That’s a meaningfully different audience than our other cutlery pages, and it’s worth understanding before you order. Each set — knife, fork, and spoon — is made from natural wood, polished smooth, splinter-free, and genuinely compostable, not just biodegradable in theory. Packed 50 pieces per box, 20 boxes per carton, the boxed format suits retail shelf presentation far better than a loose OPP bag would — which matters if your buyer is a supermarket or a direct-to-consumer eco brand rather than a catering kitchen.
Designed for Daily, Real-World Use
The simple, ergonomic design is intentional — this isn’t a novelty item, it’s cutlery meant to be picked up and used without a second thought, the same way a household reaches for cutlery from a drawer. The 140mm length suits light meals, desserts, and the kind of everyday portions families actually eat day to day, while still holding up structurally for café and takeaway use. If you’re sourcing for retail and want to understand how this fits into a broader household sustainability product range, our eco-friendly food packaging for small business guide is a useful read — it covers the kind of sourcing decisions smaller retail-facing brands typically need to make.
Who Actually Buys This Product
Supermarkets and retail chains stocking family meal and lunch packs. Direct-to-consumer eco brands building household sustainability ranges. Coffee shops and western restaurants needing compact, reliable cutlery for daily service. Catering companies and event organisers who appreciate the clean boxed presentation for smaller-format service. Food delivery services including cutlery in everyday meal packaging. For buyers building a household or family-facing eco product line specifically, this 140mm set is usually the right starting point in our range — it’s the one product genuinely designed with that retail context in mind rather than adapted from a food service format.
Compostability That Holds Up to Scrutiny
As more households and retailers move away from single-use plastic, “compostable” needs to mean something real — full breakdown under composting conditions, no microplastics, no chemical residue. This cutlery delivers on that without relying on coatings or treatments that complicate the claim. Our piece on why bamboo is outpacing plastic alternatives gives useful broader context on why genuinely compostable materials — bamboo and wood alike — are winning out over plastic across both commercial and consumer markets.
Quality That Holds Up Across Bulk Orders
Even for a household-facing product, consistency matters — a retail buyer can’t risk a batch that splinters or a finish that varies pack to pack. Our integrated factory production keeps quality stable across bulk runs, the same standard we apply to our full commercial cutlery range. For buyers comparing this against our bamboo equivalents before deciding which material fits their retail brand, our bamboo spoons vs wooden spoons comparison is a useful side-by-side.
Packaging, MOQ & Private Label
Standard packaging: 50 pieces per box, 20 boxes per carton. MOQ starts at 10 cartons. For retail and private-label buyers, we offer printed boxes with your branding, adjustable quantity per box, bulk export cartons, and full logo customisation — useful if you’re building a household eco brand and need the packaging itself to do some of the selling. Our custom branded bamboo cutlery guide covers branding considerations that apply equally to retail-facing wooden cutlery packaging.
