IMPROVEMENTS IN A CAKE BOARD

摘要

The invention provides a cake board (2), cake card or cake drum blank of card, plastic, insulation material, plywood, chipboard or the like, shaped as required and enveloped in a film of shrink-wrap material (10). The shrink-wrap material (10) may be plastic or plastic like material, e.g. pre-coloured, plasticised mirror foil. Also, the shrink-wrap material (10) may be printed with a patterned or plain silver and/or gold finish to simulate embossed or plain foil. In a further form, the shrink-wrap (10) material may have a hologram, logo or bespoke indicia printed thereon. Typically, cake boards (2), cake cards or cake drums of the invention have a thickness of 4.75 mm to 25.4 mm and the shrink-wrap materials (10) applied thereto have thicknesses of 10 microns to 150 microns. The invention also provides a method of manufacture for the novel cake board. The product of the invention is simpler and more economical to make and use when compared to the manifold products produced hitherto for the same purpose.
