Printed boxes for cakes, cupcakes, cookies and donuts. We size them so the frosting never meets the lid and a croissant doesn’t come home flat. Kraft or white board? Your call, and you can add a window or an insert, with your bakery’s name on every box going out the door.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
Every baker has seen it happen. A customer walks out with a beautiful cake, gets in the car, takes one corner a bit fast, and the side of the box ends up wearing half the buttercream. Custom bakery boxes with logo won’t fix bad driving, but the right height, a snug base and a lid that doesn’t sag go a long way.
We make these for neighborhood bakeries, home bakers who’ve outgrown plain white boxes, cafés, cupcake shops and wholesale bakers supplying coffee shops. Most of them want two things: boxes that keep their work looking the way it did on the counter, and their name on the box instead of a generic “Thank You” print.
The box should follow the product. Cakes need height, with clearance above the tallest decoration. Cupcakes need inserts with round holes so each one stays put. Cookies and brownies are flat and stackable, pastries like croissants want a little air, and donuts need a wider, shallow box so the glaze doesn’t touch the lid.
Our cupcake boxes and cake boxes with logo are the two most popular styles if you want to start there. For counts and sizes, the cupcake box sizes guide is handy.
Frosting needs room. Honestly, a big piped swirl on a cupcake sits an inch or so above the liner, sometimes more, and if we make the box even a little short the lid just squashes it flat and you’ve got a smear where the rose used to be. So grab your tallest bake, measure it, and add a bit on top.
Then there’s butter. Put a dozen shortbread in plain uncoated board overnight and you’ll see the spots in the morning, kind of see-through blotches, and the box looks old already, so we’d use a coated board or drop a glassine sheet in. Warm stuff? Cinnamon rolls straight out of the oven sweat, so we punch a few vent holes and the tops stay soft instead of soggy.
Sourdough place or farm stand? Kraft, almost always, it looks handmade and it should. The pastel cake studios tend to want white SBS because the pinks and mints come out brighter on it, and if you sell macarons or glazed donuts we’d honestly put a window in the lid so people can peek without opening it at the till.
Print can stay basic. A one-color logo on the lid and nothing else is what loads of bakeries do (cheaper, and it looks clean), while others go full pattern all over, and either way the inks are soy or water-based.
How many do you need to order? Often around 50 custom bakery packaging boxes will do it, depending on the style, and each box gets cheaper the more you take. Free design help is part of every order: our team builds the dieline, places your logo and artwork, and checks for print issues before sending a digital proof. A physical sample is available on request.
Production is usually 10 to 12 business days after proof approval, with rush options for busy seasons. Ground shipping is free anywhere in the USA. Have a look at the full bakery packaging boxes range, or tell us what you bake and we’ll point you to the right boxes.
Take the liner bottom to the highest point of the frosting, then give it a bit extra. If your decorator gets carried away with the piping bag, go deeper still.
Uncoated kraft can show grease from buttery pastries. A coated board or a glassine liner keeps the box looking clean.
Yes. We adapt your logo and artwork to each box shape so your cake, cupcake and cookie boxes all match.
