Ask anyone who runs a bakery and they’ll tell you the worst moment of the day is watching a customer tilt a cake box as they walk out the door. Good bakery packaging boxes take some of that worry away. They hold the shape of what’s inside, they don’t stick to the frosting, and they make the walk to the car a little safer.
We make boxes for bakeries, home bakers, cafes and dessert shops, sized to what you actually sell.
Layer cakes and celebration cakes need height. Our tall cake boxes give you room for tiers and toppers, and custom cake boxes with logo put your name on the box people carry into a party. We’d still put a proper cake board under it, even a light sponge, because the bottom flexes the second someone grabs it one-handed.
Cupcakes slide. That’s the whole problem. Cupcake boxes come with inserts that hold each one in place, from single boxes up to a dozen. Muffin boxes work the same way but with a little more room on top.
Donut boxes are usually wide and flat. A window on top lets people see the glaze without opening it. Not sure how many go in each size? We covered it in how many donuts come in a box.
Cookies need flat, snug boxes so they don’t crumble. Our cookie boxes with logo come in sizes for half a dozen up to a full tray. Macarons are fragile and expensive, so macaron boxes use inserts that keep each one standing up.
For chocolates and confections there are truffle boxes, chocolate packaging boxes and candy boxes. Lollipops go in slim lollipop boxes, and mixed bags of treats fit well in snack boxes.
Cafes that sell to-go waffles use our waffle boxes, which have vents so the waffle doesn’t steam itself soft. Ice cream boxes need a coated board that handles condensation.
For holidays and corporate gifting, gourmet packaging boxes hold an assortment, usually with a ribbon or sleeve. Or start from our all-purpose custom bakery boxes and size them to whatever you bake.
Everything here is made from food-contact paperboard, printed on the outside. Donuts and croissants leak butter, so ask for a grease-resistant coating inside. Delivering? Put it in an outer carton, a tough one, since a cake box on a car seat is basically a gamble. Our guide to packaging cakes and pastries covers the details, and if you’re sending out wholesale orders, see how many bakery boxes fit on a pallet.
More food packaging lives in our food and beverage packaging range, and chocolate makers should also look at chocolate packaging boxes.
