Scaling with A Canadian Packaging Provider

BarBurrito has demonstrated impressive growth since opening its doors in Toronto in 2005. As you continue to expand eastward and into the US, now is the ideal time to assess your packaging and optimize your supply processes to ensure a scalable, reliable, and compliant offering for your nationwide franchise network

Partnering with leading North American QSR brands like McDonald’s and Edo Japan, Origin Sustainables provides full-service custom takeout packaging and supply chain solutions. With over 35 years of experience, our B.C.-based team delivers tailored procurement, complete inventory management, and high-performance sustainable packaging (paper, bagasse, wood) to optimize and streamline your Canadian franchise operations.

Addressing BarBurrito's Packaging Challenges

To demonstrate our commitment to supporting your packaging needs, we visited multiple BarBurrito locations in B.C., conducting a comprehensive assessment that identified four key priorities where Origin can enhance the brand’s dining experiences, sustainability, and growth.

Nationwide Supply

From our Vancouver headquarters, we support BarBurrito’s Canadian locations with customized nationwide distribution and storage, ensuring on-time deliveries and vendor-managed inventory to lower costs and maintain reliable packaging supply.

Brand Consistency

We work closely with the BarBurrito team to develop custom-branded packaging with high-quality printing, ensuring that all packaging items align seamlessly with your existing branding guidelines.

Inventory Reliability

Our end-to-end supply chain management and tailored logistics ensure streamlined operations with a 99.7% fulfillment rate, providing reliable packaging for all BarBurrito franchise locations across Canada.
