Making the Most of Cake Boxes

Market your business and goodies with cake boxes

Cake boxes provide protection for a variety of bakery treats, from cakes to donuts. Cake boxes are available in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. You can be making the most of cake boxes when you add a few special extras to the boxes. Supplying customers with cupcake separators and cake support pads will help your clients to transport their baked goods without any frosting mishaps.

Another way to make the most of bakery boxes is to have a company custom-design and print them with information like your logo and address. A custom-printed box is a great advertising tool. With the extras you are adding to your boxes, you will want to purchase cake boxes for the best price, typically from a wholesale vendor. As you consider your options for cake and pastry boxes, think about the following:

1. Use cupcake separators and cake support pads in bakery boxes.

2. Order custom-printed bakery boxes or decals.

3. Purchase bakery boxes from wholesale dealers.

 

Provide cupcake separators and support pads to add stability to bakery packaging

Flimsy cake boxes set the stage for sliding cakes and smudged frosting. Help your customers keep their cakes and pastries intact by providing them with cupcake separators and cake support pads. These little extras are an inexpensive way to treat your customers.

Use custom cake box packaging

Affixing custom labels to your bakery boxes or using custom-printed boxes is a great marketing strategy. A large, bright company logo on bakery cake boxes will be eye-catching and stand out in a clients mind. A signature box helps identify your brand to your clients and to people who eat your goods at functions where a client provided snacks.
Try: U.S. Box is a packaging specialist that sells both cake boxes and prints custom labels. Get discounts when you make purchases of qualifying dollar amounts. Catawba Paper Box custom makes boxes according to your specifications. Work with its design specialist to create bakery boxes unlike your competitions.

Purchase discount and wholesale cake boxes

Purchasing discount and wholesale cake boxes will help you to make the most of your cash. Wholesale vendors sell all the same items that other vendors provide. It is often necessary to set up a business account with wholesale vendors in order to get business to business pricing.
Try: ReStockIt.com is a cake box supplier that sells cake boxes at large discounts. Choose from a huge variety of discounted pastry boxes at its site. Brenmar is a wholesale provider of bakery containers, including clear cake boxes. Brenmar is strictly a business to business vendor.

 

• It may cost less to purchase bakery boxes from a wholesale vendor and then add a decal to the boxes rather than having them custom printed. You can also get quotes from local printers to see whether you can reduce the cost if they do your printing.
