Round White Paper Baking Cup N8 by BP Cartotecnica
The pirottino N8 is a round white paper baking cup with a 55 mm base and a 27.5 mm pleated wall, supplied in a professional carton of 2000 pieces. It is produced in Italy by BP Cartotecnica of Borgo a Buggiano (Pistoia, Tuscany) from food-grade paper compliant with the European MOCA regulations, and it serves pastry labs, bakeries, hotels and caterers that bake and present single portions every day.
What Is a Pirottino N8
In the Italian pastry tradition, the pirottino is the pleated paper cup used both as a baking mould and as a serving case. The numbered sizes follow the classic Italian scale: the N8 format, with its 55 mm base, is the standard choice for muffins, single-portion cakes and generously sized cupcakes. The white colour gives a clean, neutral look that fits every display counter and lets the product, not the wrapper, catch the eye.
The Producer: BP Cartotecnica, Tuscany
BP Cartotecnica srl was founded in 1993 by Paolo Bonelli in Borgo a Buggiano, in the province of Pistoia, Tuscany. The company specialises in paper converting for the food sector: pastry trays, baking cups and packaging articles for bakery, frozen and vacuum-packed products. Every material is certified, traceable and accompanied by a technical data sheet, in line with the MOCA rules on materials in contact with food.
Technical Characteristics
Round shape with pleated wall, white food-grade paper, base diameter 55 mm, wall height 27.5 mm. The pleats give the cup structure during filling and baking, while the smooth base releases the product cleanly. The carton contains 2000 pieces, a volume sized for professional laboratories: one box covers weeks of production, because the cups are light, stackable and compact.
Professional Uses
- Muffins and cupcakes: fill the cup to two thirds with batter for an even dome and no overflow during baking.
- Single-portion cakes: bake plumcake-style doughs directly in the cup and move them to the counter without unmoulding.
- Display and service: use the cup as a hygienic serving case for pastries, pralines and savoury bites at buffets and catering events.
- Semifreddi and creams: portion cold desserts that go from the blast chiller to the display in the same cup.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Filling the cups to the rim: the batter overflows and deforms the pleated wall.
- Baking the cups free-standing without a tray: a muffin tray or aluminium support keeps the round shape perfect.
- Storing them in humid rooms: paper absorbs moisture and odours, keep the carton closed in a dry place.
Storage
Store in a dry place, away from humidity, heat sources and strong odours. Keep the original carton closed to protect the cups from dust until use.
