GPI Actipack Black Cake Base 8.5 Inch (22DXN30) – Pack of 180
Present and transport cakes with confidence using the GPI Actipack Black Cake Base 8.5 Inch (22DXN30). Made from rigid, food-grade recyclable PET plastic, this premium black base provides stable support for medium-sized cakes, cheesecakes and chilled desserts in retail displays, takeaway service and catering.
The sleek black finish creates strong contrast, helping icing, toppings and decoration stand out in chilled counters and display cabinets. This base is designed as part of a secure base-and-dome system and is compatible with the matching GPI Actipack Clear Cake Domed Lid 8.5×3 Inch (22DXN03) (sold separately) for professional presentation and protection during takeaway and delivery.
The stackable design supports efficient storage and faster packing during busy periods. If you also package smaller cakes, you may want to view the GPI Actipack Premium Black Whole Cake Base 6 Inch (16DXN30) for compact whole cake packs.
