What printers offer gingerbread makers

Glazed gingerbread with designs, lettering, logos and photographs has for many years remained one of the most popular sweet gifts. They are ordered for children’s parties, weddings, New Year, corporate events and simply as a beautiful personalised souvenir.

Many confectioners start with hand painting: they create unique items, refine their style, build an audience and gradually receive more and more orders. But as their popularity grows, a new question arises: how do you get more done without losing quality or turning creativity into an endless grind?

This is exactly where a direct printer becomes, for a gingerbread maker, not a replacement for handwork but a tool for growth. It helps apply complex images faster, handle batch orders, personalise items and leave more time for genuinely creative decoration.

What possibilities a printer gives a confectioner

• production becomes more technological — a small number of popular shapes and templates plus a great variety of images for them is enough;
• it expands the scope for creativity: high print quality lets you include fine details in the design that cannot be created by hand painting;
• it lets you make a gingerbread not only tasty but also fun for a child — colouring-in gingerbread is very popular with kids;

• what puzzles gingerbread has been turned into with the help of a printer;
• it lets you enter the corporate orders market — large quantities of identical items with guaranteed high quality;

• printing a barcode or QR code on a gingerbread turns it into a tasty business card;

• only consistent quality and large volumes let you count on regular orders from cafés and retail chains;

• sets of themed gingerbread, gingerbread advent calendars — a wonderful gift that is hard to make without a printer;
• you’ll be able to combine the best of the printer and hand decoration — such work leaves no one indifferent;

• a traditional gingerbread house with direct printing takes on a whole new look;

• using a similar technique, confectioners assemble boxes and even handbags out of gingerbread…

• with a printer you can decorate not only the gingerbread itself but also its packaging.

It’s all in the hands of a creative confectioner, and the printer is just a tool that frees you from routine and leaves more time for creativity.

From our customers’ experience, after buying a printer they:

• usually raise prices on hand-painted gingerbread;
• very quickly increase production volumes several times over;
• bring their products to the corporate orders market.

Which printer to choose for printing on gingerbread

A simple start: manual control

• C10 — the most affordable model with manual table height control. Simple and reliable, it will handle the task perfectly. Compared with automatic models, it requires a little more attention to setting the table height. The jerk at the start of printing is minimal.

When you need more: full automation

• C15N — if simplifying the process matters: a fully automatic model, printing up to 15 cm, with no jerks at all.
• E15A3 — for large print runs or large gingerbread: a 30×45 cm print format, even higher speed. Both printers are extremely compact.

Why it pays off

Gingerbread is the ideal batch product: the cost per print is minimal and the volumes are large. The printer pays for itself especially quickly. Check it on your own sizes in the calculator.
