Remember Spatula City from the Weird Al movie, UHF? Well, I’ve got something better. Out of Brooklyn, NY, it’s Plastic Container City — your one stop shop for plastic containers, unique cupcake decorations and various holiday themed packaging including Easter decorating supplies.
For those of you tired of paying $3.99 for a cute box at the craft store, I highly recommend Plastic Container City. After years of being a customer, I can attest that prices are competitive, service is speedy, and you’ll find things you didn’t even know you needed. For instance, I’m putting in an order for these plastic cups with lids so I can package granola like Jo’s coffee shop here in Austin. Ha! There’s something for everyone, so have fun browsing.
In the meantime, why not try entering this giveaway? Plastic Container City has generously put together a basket for one lucky reader.
To have a lovely basket of packaging goodies shipped to you in time for your spring baking, just tell me how you usually wrap your cookies to give as gifts or carry. I will pick one random comment a week from today (February 29) and contact the winner the next morning.
Good luck! To all of you who haven’t won a giveaway yet, keep trying.
Now here’s a sampling of what’s in the basket.
White Tulip Baking Liners
You can never have too many cupcake pans
Too Cute! Blue Polka Dot Cupcake Liners
Some green cupcake liners
Pastel star sugar shapes will come in handy all year long.
A cupcake stand. It's disposable, but very cute.

Happy Easter cupcake wraps

I know I can’t win this since I work for Plastic Container City, but I wanted to put my two cents in. I wrap cookies with my mouth. I make sure I am first in line when they are baked and then I just eat them. They end up well packaged somewhere deep in my belly where they belong!
Spread Love,
Lavall
Lamely. Rubbermaid, or plastic/cellophane wrap and a ribbon.
I usually get decorative plates or tins for the season or when I’m at thrift stores, pick up pretty plates for any occasion.
What a great giveaway!! I usually package my cookies in some cute patterned cellophane bags and tie with pretty ribbon and a gift tag
For cookies, it’s all about the clear cellophane bag and a beautiful ribbon. Sometimes there is a gift tag, sometimes there is not.
I usually package treats in a clear cello bag and tie with a ribbon.
I usually make cookies or cupcakes to take to work so I put them in tins, which I use over & over. I’d love these goodies & will check out their website.
I usually take a small tin box and put two or three cookies in each tin and it is then wrapped with a little bow, it gives people the perfect sized portion.
I usually wrap them in cellophone and tie a lovely bow
Thank you!!

Well unfortunately, due to being a college student I typically wrap my cookies using cheap tupperware or baggies! If I am lucky, I will splurge and get decorative paper plates and cover them with plastic to hand out to friends.
I seal cookies in plastic wrap first, to keep them moist. Next, I wrap them in parchment and tie it with a ribbon for presentation.
first of all, the fact that you mentioned spatula city and UHF officially makes you the awesomest blogger in bloggerdom. i can’t use a spatula without doing that whole shtick. “my! where did you get that LOVELY spatula!?” anyway…
Cookies to give to people “just cause” usually get put in boring gladware. if it is for something fancy like a gift, i’ll try to find a cute tin or cello bag.
I usually use some of those reusable ziploc containers. If I’m feeling fancy I’ll put a sticker on the lid!
I love to wrap in chinese take out boxes with pretty ribbons and homemade tags.
Depending on the quantity I’m gifting, I use tin tie bags or bakery boxes from Box and Wrap. I’d be very happy to try some of these plastic containers. I’d also like to try the tulip liners. Are these polka dot cupcake liners grease proof? I have some Swedish ones that are, but then I’ve gotten some other ones that aren’t and they kind of lose the effect. Tell me yes, and I’ll be ordering from this company asap.
I usually wrap them in celophane bags and tie with a ribbon.
I love to put cookies in pretty boxes tied with a ribbon.
I usually just put them on a disposable plate in a ziploc bag! I sure could use something more impressive!
I generally purchase a wicker basket (at a discount store), line it with a pretty cloth napkin and arrange my cookies/muffins and/or cupcakes. No need to return the basket or napkin.
I use those disposable zip-lock containers then I wrap in colored cellophane and tie with a bow and a hand made (colorful!) tag.
I usually just wrap the larger ones in plastic wrap. The smaller ones go in a container.
I usually use celo bags tied with ribbon or if I am gifting a large amount of cookies I use cookie boxes from the craft store.
Cellophane bag with a ribbon and cute tag from etsy… “from (my name) kitchen”
It depends where they are going. My workplace goodies go on large reusable plates or foil covered cookie sheets (I split my day between my hospital office and my clinic office, each place having about 28 folks). If I’m going to a party or meeting, I use wicker baskets or pretty tins-both reusable. However, I admit to sometimes being lazy and using disposable containers or ziploc bags…
I usually wrap my cookies in treat bags and tied the bag with colorful ribbons and tags. Sometimes I do it with chinese take out boxes for smaller quantities. Wrapping cookies and writing the tags to the people I give them to, is so much fun… Imagining how happy they are when they receive the gift. Who can resist cookies anyway?
I usually put them in a container for the host to have.
I struggle to find something nice, yet inexpensive, so I usually resort to disposable containers.
Ooooo…I want! I have some of those tulips in red and love them. I typically use a plastic sleeve for my cookies.
Cute giveaway! I just use cellophane.
Thanks for the giveaway! I like to use clear cellophane bags (decorative if they’re on sale) tied with a pretty ribbon. If they’re for a bake sale, I like to seal the bag so they stay fresh:)
I usually use tins or disposable containers. Thanks for the giveaway!
I put them into a basket.
I usually use plastic sandwich bags or bento containers
depends on who i’m giving them to..sometimes plastic with a ribbon and sometimes mason jars…and more often than I’d like to admit just ziplock bags.
I either toss them in those decorative holiday bags or put on a cute plate and call it a day.
I love tins, but more often, I am lowered to using a Baggie, which does nothing to protect the treat inside.
On a paper plate=really need this website
Honestly I just use sandwich bags!
Cello bags with ribbons for small amounts.
Around the holidays I usually put them in in a tie-tin bag with a label on festive paper or on a festive plate with cellophane and a big bow.
I use a nice decorative paper plate, cellophane and and ribbon. Nice, easy and disposable!
I mostly use cello bags and tulle for the bow.
Thanks for the give away! I mostly use cello bags, sometimes with designs, sometimes plain and they tulle for my bow!
I usually use whatever I have on hand, which ends up being baggies. I’m not able to be as creative though with these. So containers are great!
Lame-o
Foil pan, ziploc bag.
Lame. Lame. Lame,
I buy the clear cello bags and some pretty ribbon to match the cookies.
Plastic bags are my usual
I try to stock up on pretty (but inexpensive) china plates at flea markets or garage sales. Then, if I am going to take cookies to a party, I pile the plate up high with the cookies and maybe toss in some festively colored small pieces of candy (like Hershey’s kisses), and wrap the whole thing in cellophane tied with a pretty bow. I make sure to tell the host that the plate does not need to be returned, they may reuse it, pass it along, or donate it. Although, at Christmas and Easter when I give away pizzelles, they are always given in decorative tins, otherwise they will lose their crispness and become soft.
In a random Rubbermaid container that I usually get back. Quite sad, actually. Thanks for the giveaway!
I use clear cello bags. I’m a rubber stamper so I computer generate a list of the item in the bags, print it on cardstock, and then rubber stamp something appropriate for the holiday – little witch for Halloween, for instance – and punch out the tags. Tie the tags onto the bag with ribbon that coordinate with the holiday. Done!
