Cost-Saving Tips for Bakeries
- Standardize on 2-3 box sizes. Covering 80% of your product line with 2 standard sizes saves $400-$800 in die costs.
- Order seasonally in bulk. Holiday season orders at 5K save 40% vs. weekly orders of 200.
- Use kraft for everyday, printed for specials. Plain kraft window boxes at $0.09/unit for daily sales. Printed boxes for holiday and gift items.
