Bakery boxes for one muffin up to a half-dozen or a dozen, with deep inserts that leave room for those tall domed tops. Kraft or white board, a window if you want, and your logo on the lid. Café counters, farmers markets, catering.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
A good muffin has a big top. It’s the bit people pick at first, and it’s also the bit that gets squashed flat when somebody boxes muffins in a cupcake box, so our Muffin Boxes run a little taller with wider insert holes, for cafés and bakeries and market stalls selling singles, half dozens or full dozens.
Then there’s grease. Blueberry and banana muffins leave oil spots on paper, and a dozen of them sitting in a box for a few hours can soak right through thin board. Right board plus the right insert? Fixes most of it.
Measure the liner, not the top. That’s the whole trick, really, because the bottom of a regular muffin is maybe 2.5 or 3 inches across while the dome mushrooms out way past that (a jumbo one from a bakery tin can be 3.5 at the base), and if the hole hugs the liner the cake sits tight while the top floats over the card untouched.
How tall? We’d start you at four inches. Crumble on top, add a little.
Not sure? Put one muffin in, shut it, push gently on the lid with a finger. Feel it touch? Taller box.
Skip the insert and a box of six turns into crumbs in the corners by the end of the drive, honestly, we’ve seen it plenty. A plain paperboard insert keeps each one upright and stops them knocking together. Buttery or fruit-heavy recipes? We’d go coated board or drop a liner sheet in so the oil stays off the outside.
Boxing them straight out of the oven is a classic mistake (sticky tops by lunchtime), so wait till they’re properly cool. A window cutout with film lets people see them without opening anything, which is handy on a counter, and our cupcake box sizes guide covers insert spacing that works the same way for muffins.
Kraft gives you that homemade, farm-stand look, and it’s easy to recycle. White SBS shows full color best, so bakeries with bright branding or seasonal designs tend to go white. Café going through boxes fast? A one-color stamp-style logo keeps the cost right down.
Food boxes usually stay simple on finishes. Matte or gloss outside, maybe gold foil on the logo for a holiday gift version. One thing we really like is a flavor checklist printed on the side, so staff just tick what’s inside instead of scribbling on the lid with a marker. Our team lays out the artwork free and sends a digital proof.
Orders often start around 50 boxes depending on the style, so a small café can try a design without a big outlay, and the price per box drops on bigger runs. It’s 10 to 12 business days after proof approval with free ground shipping in the USA, and if you want to test your own muffins in one first, we’ll send a physical sample.
Sell cupcakes as well? Our custom cupcake boxes can carry the same design. Mixed pastry orders fit nicely in our custom bakery packaging boxes, and everything else is in the bakery packaging range.
Sometimes. Muffin tops are usually taller and wider though, so a muffin box adds height and bigger holes and the domes don’t get squashed.
Coated board, or a liner sheet under the insert. And let them cool before boxing, that helps a lot.
Yep. Jumbo liners are wider at the base, so we cut the holes and spacing bigger to match.
Plenty of customers order this alongside custom truffle boxes, custom cookie boxes with logo, custom donut boxes and tall cake boxes. More styles are in bakery packaging boxes, and packaging cakes and pastries covers the common sizes.
