True Earth Packaging delivers wholesale food packaging to restaurants, cafés, caterers, and food market vendors across North Vancouver and the North Shore. From Lonsdale Quay and the Lower Lonsdale restaurant strip to Edgemont Village and Lynn Valley — we deliver what you need.
North Vancouver's food scene is anchored by two distinct environments. At the waterfront, Lonsdale Quay Public Market has been a gathering point for food vendors, specialty grocers, and prepared food operators for decades. The market format — where multiple vendors operate side by side with limited storage space — places a premium on packaging that's compact to store, easy to dispense, and appealing at a market counter. We supply Lonsdale Quay vendors with the grab-and-go containers, paper bags, and portion cups that work in that specific format.
The Lower Lonsdale restaurant strip along Lonsdale Avenue has evolved into one of the North Shore's most active dining and nightlife corridors. The concentration of restaurants — ranging from casual pubs and sushi spots to upscale farm-to-table restaurants — creates significant demand for takeout packaging, particularly as delivery apps have become a major revenue channel for North Shore restaurants that previously relied almost entirely on dine-in trade.
Moving up the hill, Edgemont Village in North Vancouver and the Lynn Valley Town Centre serve established residential communities with disposable income and strong preferences for local, quality food businesses. The bakeries, specialty delis, and cafés in these village areas tend to favour packaging that aligns with their brand — kraft, compostable materials, and clean minimal presentation rather than generic white foam. These are the operators who switched away from styrofoam long before the bylaw required it.
North Vancouver's catering market is also active, particularly for corporate events, outdoor events at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park and the various ski-area venues on the mountain, and private events in the North Shore's many event-hosting properties. Caterers operating in North Van need packaging that travels well up steep terrain and holds food at temperature for longer-than-average service windows.
Kraft paper bags, PET clamshells, and portion cups for Lonsdale Quay vendors and market-format food sellers. Compact, easy to dispense at a counter.
View kraft bags →Sugarcane bagasse plates and containers, compostable cutlery, and kraft packaging for North Shore businesses with strong sustainability positioning.

View containers →Aluminum foil pans, insulated containers, and compartment trays for North Shore caterers working events at mountain venues and corporate sites.
View catering trays →Some suppliers add a surcharge for cross-bridge delivery to the North Shore. We don't. North Vancouver is part of our standard Lower Mainland delivery zone at the same pricing and lead time as any other Lower Mainland address.
North Shore businesses — particularly in Edgemont Village and the Quay market area — tend to attract customers who care about packaging sustainability. We carry a full range of compostable and eco-friendly options so you're never forced to compromise on your brand's values.
Market-format selling has distinct packaging needs compared to a restaurant kitchen. We work with Lonsdale Quay vendors who need products that dispense quickly, store efficiently in a small vendor booth, and present well at a market counter.
North Shore businesses often tell us they switched from a large national distributor because the service was impersonal and restocks were unreliable. We provide direct communication and consistent availability — not a call centre ticket.
We deliver to all North Vancouver areas — Lower Lonsdale, Lonsdale Quay, Edgemont Village, Lynn Valley, Deep Cove, and Capilano. West Vancouver delivery is also available.
Standard lead time is 1–2 business days. North Shore delivery runs on the same schedule as the rest of the Lower Mainland — no extended wait times for cross-bridge addresses.
Send us your product list and we'll respond with pricing within one business day. We work with North Shore restaurants, market vendors, cafés, and caterers of all sizes.
