Mary Macleod's Shortbread Introduces New Blue Window Bakery Bag to Expand Artisan Bakery Collection

Toronto, Canada – Mary Macleod's Shortbread, Canada's original all-butter shortbread bakery, is proud to introduce its new Blue Window Bakery Bag, a fresh packaging format designed to support the brand's growing artisan bakery collection while bringing its handcrafted, super premium shortbread to even more consumers.

The Blue Window Bakery Bag combines the premium quality Mary Macleod's Shortbread is known for with a new, convenient package designed for everyday enjoyment. The signature blue design and clear window showcase the brand's distinctive handcrafted cookies, allowing shoppers to experience the beautiful appearance of the product before they even open the bag.

For more than 45 years, Mary Macleod's Shortbread has been crafting super premium, all-butter shortbread using simple, high-quality ingredients. Each cookie is artisan made with a proprietary appearance, unmistakable buttery aroma, and clean-label recipe that has earned the brand a loyal following. Available in three signature flavours, Mary Macleod's continues to deliver on its promise that tasting is believing.

While the company has become known for its elegant gift tins, signature jars, gold foil packaging, and beautifully bowed presentations, the Blue Window Bakery Bag expands the brand's packaging portfolio with a format designed for the bakery aisle while maintaining the premium presentation consumers expect from Mary Macleod's. “We wanted to create a format that brings the Mary Macleod's experience into the bakery aisle without compromising what makes the brand special,” said Sharon Grewal-Macleod, owner of Mary Macleod's Shortbread.

Founded by Mary Macleod in 1981, the company remains proudly third-generation, woman-owned, and family-owned. Based in Toronto, the bakery continues Mary's legacy of handcrafted excellence while maintaining BRC, WBE, and CAMSC certifications and supporting the communities it serves.

The Blue Window Bakery Bag will begin rolling out to retailers by September 2026, as part of Mary Macleod's expanding bakery program.
