About this packaging

Boxes that keep treats fresh and your brand front-of-mind

Baked goods sell with the eyes first. A well-made bakery box keeps cakes, cookies and pastries fresh, protects delicate frosting on the way home, and puts your brand in front of every customer who carries it out the door.

Made for every treat

From tall layered cakes and cupcake sets to cookie gift boxes, donut dozens and single-slice pastry clamshells, each box is sized to your product so it arrives looking the way it left your counter.

Show it off

Die-cut windows let customers see what’s inside without opening the box, while inserts hold cupcakes, macarons and truffles firmly in place.

Bakery counter and display

Baked goods sell with the eyes first. A die-cut window lets customers see the treat without opening the box, and a strong printed front puts your brand in front of every customer.

Custom Packaging Options for Every Industry

Choose the finish, print method, coating and material that suit your product. Our team will help you pick the right mix for your brand and budget.

Special Finishes

Finishing is what turns a good box into a memorable one. Add metallic hot foil, raised embossing, glossy spot UV or pressed-in debossing to highlight your logo and key details, the small touches that make customers stop, look and pick your product up. Finishes can be combined on the same box, for example gold foil on an embossed logo with a spot UV pattern, and our team will show you what works best for your artwork and budget before anything is printed.

Printing Methods

We match the print method to your quantity, artwork and budget. Offset printing gives sharp, color-accurate results for larger runs, digital printing is ideal for short runs and fast turnaround, screen printing delivers bold solid colors, and UV printing adds vivid, durable ink to almost any surface. We print in full-color CMYK or exact Pantone brand colors, inside and outside the box, and every order comes with a free digital proof so you can check colors and layout first.

Coating & Laminations

Coatings protect your print from scuffs, moisture and fingerprints while setting the look and feel of your box. Choose matte for a soft, modern finish, gloss for vibrant shine, soft-touch for a velvety premium feel, or eco-friendly aqueous coating for everyday protection. A coating also makes colors look richer and helps your boxes stay clean and sharp from the warehouse to the customer’s hands.

Materials / Paper We Use

Every box starts with the right board. Rigid chipboard gives a sturdy luxury feel, kraft paperboard offers a natural and recyclable look, corrugated board protects products through shipping, and SBS cardstock provides a bright, smooth surface for crisp full-color printing. We use recyclable materials wherever possible. Not sure which board is right for your product? Tell us what you are packing and how it ships, and we will recommend the best material for strength, look and price.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a window on my cake or cookie box?

Do you make cupcake and macaron inserts?

Yes. Custom inserts hold cupcakes, macarons, truffles and other small treats securely in place.

What size cake box do I need?

Measure the length, width and height of your cake including the board, then add a little clearance for frosting and decorations. Share those numbers in the quote form and we’ll size the box for you.
