Everything Perth bakeries need: cake boxes, pastry boxes, bread bags, greaseproof paper & custom branded packaging. Wholesale pricing.
Good bakery packaging does more than carry a cake from A to B. It protects your product, presents your brand, and — done right — becomes part of the customer experience. Whether you're running a suburban bakery in Morley, a boutique patisserie in Fremantle, or a wholesale operation supplying cafes across Perth, your packaging choices matter.
This guide covers everything Perth bakeries need to know about packaging: what's available, what works best for different products, and how to get the best pricing without compromising on quality.
Cake boxes are the bread and butter (pun intended) of bakery packaging. The key factors are size, strength, and presentation.
For standard cakes, you need boxes that are tall enough to clear your decorations and sturdy enough to stack without crushing. We carry cake boxes from 6-inch single-layer right up to large celebration cake sizes. Our range includes:
Check out our boxes and trays range for the full selection.
For pastries, slices, tarts, and individual serves, you need something different from a standard cake box. Pastry boxes are typically shallower and often feature a window so customers can see what they're getting.
We stock pastry boxes in a range of sizes suitable for everything from a single croissant to a dozen mixed pastries. Windowed options are particularly popular with Perth bakeries that sell through farmers' markets and pop-up events.
For artisan bread, sourdough, and baguettes, kraft paper bags with a window strip are the industry standard. They let the bread breathe (important for maintaining crust quality), show off the product, and feel premium in the customer's hand.
We carry bread bags in standard and baguette lengths, in kraft brown with clear window. See our paper bags collection.
Greaseproof paper is used in bakeries for wrapping pastries, lining cake tins, between layers of sliced items, and in display cases. It's one of those items you go through in huge quantities without really noticing — until you see the bill.
Buying greaseproof paper in bulk from Value Pack Perth can save your bakery significant money compared to buying from food service distributors. We carry full sheets, half sheets, and pre-cut squares in both white and natural brown.
This is where it gets exciting. If your bakery has a strong brand identity (and in Perth's competitive market, it should), custom printed packaging makes a real difference.
Through our manufacturing partner Kyson Tech, we offer custom printing on:
The process is straightforward:
MOQs for custom printed items start from around 5,000 units for simpler items. The per-unit cost drops significantly at higher quantities, so it often makes sense to order a larger run and store the excess.
Every time a customer walks out of your shop carrying a branded box, they're advertising your business. At markets, events, and parties, your packaging is doing marketing work for you. The cost of custom packaging is a marketing investment, not just a packaging expense.
Cupcake packaging needs to be secure — nothing worse than beautifully decorated cupcakes arriving at a party smashed together. We carry cupcake boxes with removable inserts in 4-pack, 6-pack, and 12-pack configurations.
Because we import our packaging directly from manufacturing partners, our pricing is typically 30–50% below what traditional WA distributors charge for equivalent products. For a bakery going through $500–$1,000 per month in packaging, that's a meaningful saving.
We stock all our core bakery lines in our Perth warehouse, so you're not waiting weeks for stock to arrive from overseas. If it's in our catalogue and in stock, we can deliver it across Perth metro within 24 hours.
Whether you need standard stock packaging or you're ready to invest in custom branded boxes and bags, we can help. We work with bakeries of all sizes across Perth and Western Australia.
Perth bakeries deserve packaging that matches the quality of their products — at a price that doesn't eat into their margins.
