Where can I find affordable, customizable bakery box suppliers?

Shopify Discussion

Hi Shopify Community,

I am the owner of a home-based bakery, located in Toronto (GTA), Ontario, making pastries (much like cupcakes and macarons in size) and I sell them in sets of 4, 8 or 12 in boxes. For now, I have ordered my boxes from Amazon but it’s crazy expensive and I have to stick my labels on each boxes one after the other. In short, expensive and not effective at all…

So, I was wondering if some bakers/small food business owners could share with me their packaging suppliers? Ideally I’d like to place an order of 100-200 boxes to start with and be able to customize the boxes (i.e. just stamp/print directly on the boxes the logo I am currently sticking on).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Absolutely understand where you’re coming from! I run a small business myself and went through the same struggle when I first started. Ordering boxes online was getting too expensive, and labeling each one by hand took way too much time. Eventually, I switched to EZ Custom Boxes, and it’s been a game-changer.

They cater to small businesses like home-based bakeries and offer low minimum order quantities (I started with just 100 boxes). The best part is, they allow you to customize your bakery packaging, so I was able to get my logo printed directly on the boxes—no more stickers or extra labor.

The pricing is much more reasonable compared to big online retailers, and the boxes look super professional, which has really helped elevate my brand presentation. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for something cost-effective and customizable!
