Step by step process for the cake boards
The 7 most important steps in making a cake board, each of which is the key to our quality assurance. Therefore, we strictly control each link to ensure the quality of our products and bring the best quality products and the most professional services to every customer.
The most basic material -- cardboard
First, we will prepare a cardboard, which is the most basic material for making traditional cake trays. We have corrugated paper, double grey board, high density MDF. Corrugated paper is the most common in our daily life, and the price is also very cheap. So it is very popular in the cake board market. Double gray cardboard is generally used for cake substrates with relatively thin thickness. The material of MDF is the same as wood. It is very heavy, and it can also withstand multi-layered and heavy cakes, so the price is relatively high.They are highly recommended for cakes with multiple tiers, as the added support is beneficial. People often write on them with frosting as well for additional decoration. They come in a variety of different colors, though silver and glod is the most common.

There are also glossy and matte finishes: most clients will opt for the matte finish, which they feel is more premium. The glossy surface looks blingbling and can sometimes be used as a mirror.

Shape selection or customization
Then we need to make a knife mold and draw the desired size of the cake tray on it. You can choose any size and shape you want. It is worth noting that the size of the cake board that needs to be made should be a little larger than the cake you are holding, so that you have extra space to decorate or put some beautiful items around the cake. We also need to measure the sides of the cake board, which determines how much cake you want to put on it. Obviously, the thicker the cake board, the heavier the cake can be. So if you want to make a large cake with multiple layers, we would recommend a higher thickness.
A cake board is used to support a cake, or cupcakes, make transportation easier, and improves presentation. They are made from a hard material, such as cardboard, and wrapped in foil. They come in different sizes and shapes, like circles or rectangles.
Then put the knife mold on the machine, and then put the raw materials on the machine to cut out the shape we want, we take it out, and the shape of a cake tray is basically formed! It can be seen that our machines are working day and night, and the orders are endless!

Handwork makes them more refined
After we have prepared all the raw materials, there are many places that we also need to do by hand. First, let's take a look at our rim cake holder, we first wrap small strips of paper around the entire circle with glue, then compact them and stick them firmly. It protects our raw materials from water and oil, preventing the cream from seeping into the cardboard inside. It can also make the cake board look more beautiful.
Then we need to pass the glue machine on the back of the aluminum foil, fill the back with glue and stick it on the corrugated paper to cover it, such a beautiful cake tray is formed again! It should be noted here that the aluminum foil must be larger than the cake tray so that it can cover the entire cake tray.
We're also going to fold and compact all the finished cake trays to keep the foil from bouncing off.

The secret weapon for maintaining cardboard hardness
But when most people use the cake tray, they think, when the cake tray is placed in the cake, we have to put it in the refrigerator, how to protect it from softening? And when our cakes are transported across the ocean in a container, how do we keep the cardboard rigid and mold-free in wet weather and at sea for 1-3 months or more? We also have a secret weapon! That is dehumidification! We have a dehumidifying room!
After reproduction, we will put the cake holder into the dehumidifying room for a day and a night of dehumidification work to keep the cake holder dry, so that no matter it is the humid weather at sea or the wet mist in the refrigerator, it will not affect us. The cake tray has no effect!

Finally, it is packaged with shrink bags, packaged, and put into cartons, so that a complete product is formed in this way. If customers have requirements for packaging, we can customize packaging according to customer requirements, like Amazon customers, we will provide you with a one-stop service.
