I'm opening my cake shop in 2 weeks and have been overwhelmed with many things; right now I am fretting over who to get large quantities of boxes and boards(cake pads) from.
I normally use the pink cardboard boxes, and regular cardboard pads that I cover with foil, although I would also like to order pads that already have a foil surface. I use all sizes of sheets and rounds. (Right now I buy in small quantites from a local supply shop.)
I would like good prices as well as good shipping pricing!!
PLEASE HELP! Time is getting very short!
Thanks so much!!

I order my pink boxes from Instawares. You can usually get free shipping with a $250 order. I order my boards from CK (www.ckproducts.com). Best of luck!

I like www.brpboxshop.com however there was recently a topic about them not being very accomidating for a custom order. So if they have the size of boxes you want then I would suggest them, they also offer free shipping and all items are lots of 100.

If you are a business I would suggest contacting www.bunzl.com they are a supplier to all sorts of food businesses. I do not know if they have the color you want, but I think they would definitely be in a good price range.

I don't use the pink boxes...mostly because I couldn't find them. But I do get a good chunk of my bulk supplies from this company.

Since I am switching to pink boxes, I plan on ordering them from Paper Mart. I order my sample boxes from them and they are great! Never had a problem. Orders come on time.

Good luck!

We just placed an order with Foodservicedirect.com. The pricing seem fair and the shipping somewhat resonable considering the total shipment weight was 127 lbs. They also have pink boxes which are what I ordered.

What sizes would one recommend for a "just starting out" kind-of-person?

What seems to be the most ordered cake size?

I'm guessing there is not "mix and match" type of thing to choose from for the box sizes (?)
