What matters when shipping bread boxes and baskets

Cloth and wicker bread baskets are light, so air suits them, while wooden or metal bread bins are bulky and usually charged on dimensional weight; ask for packing that protects the lid from dents, and land is cheaper for several pieces.

Size and airflow

Measure the bread you usually buy, as Arabic flatbread, rolls and long Turkish loaves need different sizes. A bin with small air vents keeps bread from drying out or sweating, wood absorbs some moisture, metal is easier to clean, and a cloth-lined basket is best for serving at the table.

Material and ventilation

A bread box is made of wood, stainless steel or plastic, and natural wood or bamboo allows slight ventilation that prevents mould. Choose a box with a sliding or hinged lid and a capacity for two large loaves, and make sure the edges are polished and do not snag the bag.

Woven basket and the bakery

Woven bread baskets are used for serving at the table with a cloth that keeps warmth, and are cleaned with a dry brush, not water. For bakeries and restaurants choose a basket with a flat, stackable base, and look at its diameter because it sets the size of the saj or tannour bread it fits.

Stacking and dents

Woven baskets stack inside each other which saves volume, but the rims dent easily, so do not put weight on them. Wooden boxes need corner protection with double cardboard, and avoid shipping them with liquids that could wet the wood.
