Karat Packaging (KRT)

The company operates under brands that include Karat and Karat Earth, and it also provides private-label and customized packaging services. These capabilities cover product design, printing, sourcing, inventory management, and logistics, which are important for large restaurant chains that need consistent packaging across many locations. Karat reaches customers through distributors, national and regional chains, retail channels, and online sales, including its e-commerce platform.

Karat’s business sits at the intersection of foodservice demand, takeout and delivery trends, and the shift toward more environmentally conscious disposable packaging. Its model combines product breadth with distribution scale, allowing it to serve both everyday restaurant supply needs and more specialized packaging requirements. As a listed company, Karat Packaging gives investors exposure to the fragmented foodservice supplies market, where purchasing decisions are driven by price, reliability, branding, operational convenience, and growing interest in recyclable or compostable materials.
