Another fun place for packaging is Creative Packaging in Burnaby. They don't have cake boxes specifically but all sorts of other neat things. I've used their 1 lb "Tin Ties" with a window for giving away cookies. They're really wax-lined coffee bags so they do a good job of keeping things fresh and they don't get grease spots on them. You can dress them up very easily with a bit of raffia or ribbon , etc.

Those tin ties look really fun. Hmmm...I should schedule a whole day just to visit all these packaging places. I was also thinking of trying The Gourmet Warehouse, but I'm not sure if they'll have what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for your helpful tips re: packaging. I dropped by Michael's this afternoon and will definitely give Mayers a try.

Hi all. I'm a long-time lurker, first time poster. I've enjoyed browsing through all these topics and have discovered lots of new places to try (sadly for my waistline).

I've tried searching through previous threads but haven't found what I'm looking for. I'm wondering where I can purchase packaging for cookies/cakes so that stuff I make and give away can look more presentable. Maybe something like the plastic bags Thomas Haas' Sparkle Cookies come in, or even just those plain clamshell containers they use in supermarket bakeries. Anyplace in the Vancouver/Richmond area would be much appreciated.
