Round N5 White Paper Baking Cases by BP Cartotecnica
The N5 round baking case is a pleated white paper cup with a 40 mm base diameter and a 21 mm height, supplied in a carton of 2000 pieces with a dispenser window. The paper is approved for direct food contact and carries the PAP 22 recycling mark. It is the standard format for mignon pastries, pralines and counter portions in professional pastry shops, gelato parlours, bakeries and catering kitchens.
What Is a Pirottino N5
Pirottino is the Italian trade name for the pleated paper cup used in pastry making to hold, protect and present individual sweets. Sizes are numbered: the N5 calibre, with its 40 mm base, sits in the middle of the round range, between the smaller praline formats and the larger muffin cups. The pleated wall keeps its shape, separates the products on the tray and lets customers pick up each piece cleanly.
The Producer: BP Cartotecnica
BP Cartotecnica SRL was founded in 1989 in Buggiano, in the province of Pistoia, Tuscany. The company specialises in paper trays and packaging for the pastry sector and handles the whole production cycle in-house, from pure board to die-cutting and forming. LAPA imports the BP Cartotecnica baking-case line directly for the Swiss market.
Dimensions and Material
Base diameter 40 mm, height 21 mm, white food-grade paper. The product carries the PAP 22 recycling mark and the inner rigid board of the carton is marked PAP 21. Item code IBC2001PR0500, batch number printed on every carton for traceability.
Professional Uses
Use the N5 case for mignon and tea pastries, pralines and chocolates, mini cupcakes, single portions of salty appetizers and buffet finger food. At the counter it speeds up service: each piece is picked with its own case, no tongs contact with the product, and gold display trays stay clean for the whole day. In the lab it is used to portion ganache and small bakes directly on the tray.
Why Pastry Professionals Choose It
The neutral white surface highlights the colours of glazes, creams and chocolate without competing with them. The 2000-piece carton cuts reorder frequency for high-volume counters, and the same BP Cartotecnica line is available from LAPA in sizes N2, N3 and N4, so the whole display window stays visually coordinated.
Storage and Handling
Store in a dry place at room temperature, away from humidity and direct light. Keep the cases in their carton until use: the dispenser window protects the stack from dust and keeps the pleats crisp.

B2B and B2C delivery throughout Switzerland from the LAPA warehouse in Embrach (Zurich). Direct distribution across Zurich, Winterthur, Kloten, Aargau, St. Gallen, Bern and Basel.
