0 Gretchen VanEsselstyn Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hi Alyssa! I'd suggest checking out our 2021 Business Services Resource Guide where you'll find a number of packaging sources that may be able to help! Any other members out there shipping fragile cakes who can advise Alyssa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Victoria J Ho Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hi Alyssa! Not sure if you were ever able to access the SFA links successfully, but wanted to share an option if you were still looking for cake shipping solutions. I had a project earlier this year which required a similar setup, and we just went with a pre-fab kit like this one: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/polar-tech-10-x-4-thermo-chill-round-interior-pie-cake-pizza-insulated-shipping-container/451XM16C.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GoogleShopping&gclid=Cj0KCQiAip-PBhDVARIsAPP2xc16gc67Kc3ww2p13xyNgSYIlpEQcH5ynDTF9cTTrDOjVXwoZFq8cqQaAr-dEALw_wcB Unless you have the budget allocated to custom-design an insert system that also provides temp control with gelpacks or dry ice, the one-off purchases of a kit like this can be really cost-effective. Not the sexiest option to showcase branding, but there's at least one panel that you could cover with a wide format label if desired.
