Cake box distribution in Kenya

Supply cake boxes by exact cake-board size, height and closure design.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional bakery order: 50 flat-packed cake boxes for 10-inch boards and cakes up to the approved sample height, supplied with matched bases and clear windows where specified. Supplier dimensions are checked against the actual board and decorated dummy; no refrigerated-storage or food-contact suitability is assumed without documentation.

Who is the first customer?

Home bakers and cake shops.

Test the offer

Test a few samples with actual boards before ordering bulk stock.
