These boxes are recyclable and compostable cardboard and they ship flat, so they are more fuel-efficient to move around. If better karma alone is not enough to win you over, they are also lidded and stackable so they do a better job of protecting your produce.

And they’re pretty, too! The vent holes are shaped like suns, raindrops, flowers and earthworms. Labels will affix to them more easily than to molded berry boxes. The larger boxes assemble in five easy steps (the manufacturer says that once practiced, you can fold 180 boxes an hour). The half-pints have an ingenious auto-folding design and assemble in one motion.

Exterior dimensions assembled: Half-pint is 4"x4⅛"x 1½"; Low-profile pint is 7"x4½"x1¼"; Quart is 7"x4¼"x3".

2-quart (great for tomatoes) is 6⅝"x7½" x3".
