Abstract: A food packaging material, a method of making such a material, and a substantially completely compostable package made from such material, are disclosed. The packaging includes constructions wherein a single ply or double ply of substantially completely compostable substrate layers sealingly-engaged to one another using a natural food-grade contact adhesive, advantageously results in a substantially completely compostable natural food packaging material. The method utilizes existing commercial machinery and processes to form compostable substrates into packaging, including application of print indicia.
