Before we explain how thick is masonite board,let’s figure out what is masonite board?
This is a history of masonite board.
MDF board is a cake board of wood material, which is very hard and can be used for decoration. This material is like wood but not completely wood. When you beat this material, it will make a strong sound, like hardwood.
The source of this material dates back to 1898 in England. So you can see why MDF boards are so popular and common in the UK.
Because of the special nature of this material, we also use it to make cake boards. This strong material can be used to withstand heavier cakes. Although there are a lot of different materials on the market that we can use to make cake plates and fill cakes. But they are all subject to the conditions of material - corrugated paper, gray paper board, the material widely used, but they have one thing in common is not strong enough. Especially when people have more and more different needs for the size and shape of cakes, cakes are used in more and more occasions. Not only for birthday parties, but also for wedding parties, after parties, baby showers, etc.
So we have a higher requirement for the material, so we use this kind of material to make the cake board.
Advantages of working with MDF Cake Boards:
1- Resistance: A wooden cake board can hold up to 20 kg,a 5mm MDF board at least can hold 10kg.
2-Safety: unlike cake base board, MDF is strong enough to deliver the cake in safe.
3- Price: compare with cake drum and cake base board,the cost is more competitive.
4- Uniform surface: provides a clean feeling and does not have the porosity of a cardboard.This surface is perfect for printing.
About the thickness:
Thickness is the most important factor for us to consider when choosing cake board. No matter we choose cake drum, cake base board or other forms of base support, we will choose the appropriate cake bard according to the size of our cake, which can bear enough weight.
In terms of choosing thickness, we should choose the most economical one to reduce our unnecessary cost increase.
Because you never want a cake that you've been making for a long time to be placed on a cake board that's not good enough, and then that cake board is not strong enough, if you or your customers have any accidents on the way to transport the cake. It's a huge loss for both the baker and the store,the point is, it's a bad experience for your customers.
In addition, ordinary cakes take a certain amount of time to make. Each bakery has its own schedule, and different cakes will be made in each time period. Therefore, if our work is broken, we have to pay extra time cost to make it again.
Therefore, many people are very cautious when choosing the cake board.
A 5mm MDF board can bear a minimum weight of 10kg.
The main process for making MDF cake board is die cutting, which uses a cutting machine to cut shapes directly, so its thickness has certain restrictions and requirements.There is a limit to how thick the die can be, and just like a knife, when you use it to cut something very thick, the knife can become dull and even cause the die to break when you cut something too thick.
This material can be made from 2mm to 6mm, we don't recommend it if it is more than 6mm, because this thickness is strong enough, and thicker thickness has high requirements in the production process. At the same time, 3mm thickness is also uneconomical, because you can completely replace 3mm thick MDF with double thick cake board, because MDF material itself is more expensive than other materials, so it is uneconomical for you to choose 3mm thickness.
So 5mm thickness is the most recommended.The thickness 5mm is the most common in the market, favored by many consumers.This thickness can meet your needs for different layers of cake, you only need to choose one thickness can be used in the entire cake.
How can I choose the MDF cake board that is suitable for my cake?
As for the thickness, we have suggested that you choose the MDF board with 5mm thickness. The thickness z is suitable for most cakes. Such a choice is economic and cost saving. Then you can choose the right size according to the size of your cake, the most common size is 8 "10" 12 "14", of course, when you are making a wedding cake you have to consider more.
As for the choice of texture, the simplest one on the market now is the matte white MDF board, which is favored by many customers, because it is the simplest and most elegant style, no matter what kind of cake it is paired with, it will not destroy your design. Then there are some marble-textured patterns that are also very popular.
Nowadays, many people ask for different colors and textures, and some brand stores will also customize and print their own brand logo, because branding is very important to the development of a bakery.
