I'm trying to figure out a good supplier of cake boxes & boards. I am in the first little baby steps of starting icon_biggrin.gif out & I don't want to spend a fortune on them. Can anyone in my region ( western canada) please advise me on a supplier. Also, I've been trying to figure out if I should order from Sysco or just go to Costco for all my ingredients - any feedback????

Thanks,
Nicole icon_wink.gif

boxes usually come in cases of 50 to 100.

sometimes you can find them locally....which is good if you can because they are so heavy the shipping is very high.

awhile back there was a place on ebay that would ship for free if you bought 175.00 worth or more.

it hacks me off that cake boxes are so dang expensive, i just spent close to 200.00 at the box store this week...(i can buy locally).

i used to use a food distributer....but these days you can just about do as well going to sams or wally world.

You must have a business license though.
Hope that helps

Discovery Paper is the BEST....very reasonably priced. However you do have to buy in bulk. But there are lots of BC girls,so maybe one of them will split an order with you. They have TONS of different sizes too. PM me if you want more info. icon_smile.gif
