Ensuring baked goods stay fresh and maintain their original quality is one of the biggest challenges bakeries face with packaging. We cater to the unique requirements of baked goods:
- Moisture retention: Items like cakes, muffins, and pastries need packaging that seals in moisture to prevent them from drying out, especially when displayed on shelves or during transport. Our cake and slice containers come with specially designed hinged lids to ensure an efficient seal.
- Ventilation for warm items: Packaging warm items requires breathable solutions to allow steam to escape. Without ventilation, condensation can build up inside the packaging, making the product soggy and less appetising. We offer several products with anti-mist and perforated film.
- Protection for fragile goods: Many bakery items, like delicate pastries or elaborately frosted cupcakes, are easily damaged. Our cake boxes and cupcake carriers are strong enough for even the roughest of handling and transport.
Bakeries cater to a wide variety of customers, many of whom are looking for grab-and-go options or packaging that makes transport easy and mess-free.
Our boxes come with sturdy bases to prevent sagging while the hand-folding design makes them easy to assemble and use, so you can pack up your cakes and pastries in record time.
Convenient, user-friendly packaging not only improves customer satisfaction but also creates a positive impression of the bakery’s attention to detail. Striking the right balance between practicality and presentation ensures that customers leave with their goods intact and their expectations exceeded.
The cost of packaging can significantly impact overall profitability, particularly in the current economic climate. We offer industry leading prices on many of our bakery products, and even provide a cost-reduction consultancy for those looking for optimised pricing.
