Pop-Ups & Markets

Packaging for Pop-Ups, Market Stalls and Small Runs

A market stall or a pop-up runs into the same wall every time it tries to brand its packaging: minimums are built for a chain, and a weekend trader cannot use — or store — 2,000 of anything.

The low-minimum wax paper exists for exactly this. It drops the order to a single bundle of 400 sheets instead of the standard 5 bundles, so a stall can wrap everything it sells in printed paper for a first run rather than a year's supply.

Beyond that, the lowest entry points in the range are burger bags and bakery bags at 3 bundles of 400, single wall hot cups and paper cold cups at 3 cases of 700, and party catering cases at 3 bundles of 25. Handle bags start at 4 bundles of 100.

Papers, bags and boxes all ship flat, which matters when your storage is a car or a lock-up. Artwork setup is a one-time $75 charge per order, and production runs around 10 business days — so order ahead of a market season rather than into it.

Packaging for Pop-Ups, Market Stalls and Small Runs — Common Questions

What is the smallest branded packaging order you accept?

A single 400-sheet bundle of the low-minimum wax paper. That is the lowest entry point in the range and exists specifically for small shops, pop-ups and first runs.

Can a market stall afford printed packaging?

Printed paper is the cheapest branded surface in food service. At 400 sheets per bundle it goes under every item you sell, so the cost per branded impression is lower than on any box or bag.

Which products have the lowest minimums?

Wax paper at one bundle of 400 on the low-minimum option; burger and bakery bags at 3 bundles of 400; single wall hot cups and paper cold cups at 3 cases of 700; party catering cases at 3 bundles of 25.

How much space does an order take to store?

Papers, bags and boxes all ship flat, with boxes shrink-wrapped, so a first run stacks rather than palletises. Pre-formed cups and containers are the bulkiest items.

How far ahead do I need to order?

Around 10 business days for production and delivery. Reorders of artwork already on file skip the proofing step.
