One cent’s worth of Edible Glitter™ will decorate twice as many cupcakes as one cent’s worth of jimmies sprinkles. In this case, that would be a 50% savings on the cost of topping.
What this means to you is that you can save about 30% on the cost of your sprinkles if you are using Jimmies and switch to Edible Glitter Flakes.
Traditional sprinkles like Jimmies, nonpareils and colored sugar weigh a lot. They are heavy and bulky. Edible Glitter™ in comparison is a thin lightweight flake. A flat flake means lots of surface area, lots of color, very little weight.
One pound of Edible Glitter™ will cover the same amount of product (for example cupcakes, doughnuts, cakes, and candies) as 20 lbs of Jimmies type sprinkles.
The difference is even greater for the shapes. One pound of Edible Glitter™ shapes will cover 80 times as many donuts or cupcake as one pound of the shaped sprinkles.
What this means to you is that you can save about 30% on the cost of your sprinkles if you are using Jimmies and switch to Edible Glitter Flakes.
Do you buy 12,000 lbs of Jimmies type Sprinkles? That is probably taking up about 5 or 6 pallet spaces in your warehouse. The equivalent amount of Edible Glitter™ would fit on one single pallet. That would save you 4 to 5 pallet spaces. Each pallet space in your warehouse costs you money.
When you compare shipping Edible Glitter™ to shipping Jimmies you will realize a 20% reduction in weight of the shipment. This will lower your freight rates significantly. For example, one pallet of Edible Glitter™ has a net weight of 576 lbs and a gross weight of about 655 lbs. Compare that to the equivalent amount of Jimmies which would be about 11,520 bs net weight.
If you compare Edible Glitter Shapes to Shaped Sprinkles the ratio is about 80 lbs of Sprinkles Shapes to every 1 lb of Edible Glitter to same effect or coverage. If you are using other types of sprinkles contact us for more information on equivalents.
