In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for wholesale cake boards, cake boxes and cake accessories in the African market, and more wholesalers and retailers have begun to purchase such products in large quantities from China to meet the needs of domestic customers for self-use baking products. However, with the diversification and variety of baking packaging products, many wholesalers spend a lot of time in finding their own novelty and variety.
At this time, a provider that can provide one-stop services is particularly important. We are committed to providing one-stop service for customers, includes the cake board, cake box, or baking accessories. We can provide all the products to the customers, and arrange shipping and certificate certification etc. This makes our African customers very happy, and we continue to explore and summarize the categories favored by the African market through our cooperation with them. Next step, let's analyze the African market preference categories.
The first item is the cake board series.
African customers like 12mm cake drums and prefer to the gold and white color. They usually buy 10 inch, 12 inch, 14 inch, and a few 16 inch and 18 inch, but 10-14 inch is very common in their market. Not at all, there were a few customers who liked to the cake drums with wrapped edge. They also made cake drums in their local, but the craft was a little rough and the packaging was not good. So customers still like to import cake boards from China.
In addition, they like the cake base board very much. Considering the price, they sometimes choose 2mm thickness, but they prefer 3mm-5mm thickness, because their cake will be heavier, they prefer thicker cake base board. In terms of color, they tend to prefer gold, silver and white, of course, there will be some customers like the boards with texture, such as marbling pattern or rose pattern, they like. For edge treatment, they like the scalloped edge, they think it looks more beautiful.
The second item is the cake box series.
African customers like white cake boxes, with one-piece box and the cake box with separate lid, which is their common style, but this year, the transparent cake boxes are also very popular in Africa, many customers buy a large number of transparent cake boxes, they like black, white, gold, red and pink, this box is relatively high-end in the local. Sometimes it is also used with a ribbon.
In addition, they also like to buy some dessert boxes with transparent lid, you can put some desserts or cookies into the box,which is more economical. But the capacity is larger.
The third item is the Decorative supplies.

The fourth item is the Silicone products.
They like to use silicone mat to make pasta, and they also like to use silicone mat to make fondant, to print different shapes on the edges of the cake, such as strings, waves.
They also like silicone moulds, such as chocolate moulds, Happy birthday moulds, and ice cream bar moulds, CROWN SILCON MOULD etc. Which are very good looking and useful.
Besides, the silicon spatulas and silicon brush are also in a good demand, they prefer to the bigger size spatulas, come with different colors, such as pink, blue, purple, red and so on. They are normally packed separately in a opp bag, the customers can buy from the retailer by 1 piece, it is very convenient for the bakers to make the cake, so they are also popular in the local market.
Silicone products are still popular in Africa, but the price is also relatively expensive, so they will not buy in large quantities. Moreover, such products can be reused, so the amount is not much.
The fifth item is the Bamboo/wood products.
They like bamboo or wooden Dowels , and wooden hammers are needed, which are very common. The size of the dowels can be large and small, which is depending on the size of the cake. Wooden hammers also comes in different sizes. But generally speaking, the price of these products is not high, they still choose to buy in bulk.
The sixth item is the Baking appliances.
When we talk about the Sunshine bakery packaging Suppliy , we surely think about the baking tins, they like to buy Baking tins of different sizes, often with a joined bottom rather than a separate bottom. They also like corrugated paper baking pans for baking cakes, as well as baking tools, such as kitchen scales, measuring cups and spoons, writing Nozzles etc. All of which are closely related to baking but are in short supply in the local market. Therefore, the African market still has great consumption potential and demand, which is worth us to research and develop.
African customers are very willing to talk, they also like to share their market information, get more new products to test the market.
Therefore, when we have a new product, we will share it with them at the first time, so that they can see whether there is a good market reaction, and then make a mass production. Based on the close cooperation and contact between us and customers, let us achieve a win-win situation, hope to do better!
