In short
Bakery packaging is a paperboard box for cakes, cupcakes, donuts, macarons and cookies, often with a window and an insert. Box Sense makes bakery boxes to your product size from 10 boxes, shipped flat to save space.
Bakery boxes are filled by hand in a hurry, so they need to pop up fast and hold their shape. They also sit on a counter where the box is the only advertising the customer carries out of the door.
Tell us the size of what goes in: cake diameter and height, or how many cupcakes or donuts per box.
What matters in bakery packaging
- Fast assembly. Pop-up and lock-corner styles save time at the counter.
- Windows. A window shows the product and stops customers opening the lid to look.
- Inserts. Cupcake and macaron inserts stop products sliding into each other.
- Grease. Buttery products need grease-resistant board or a liner.
Where to start
- Cake Boxes: tall boxes for whole cakes, with or without a window.
- Cupcake Boxes: boxes with inserts for 1, 2, 4, 6 or 12.
- Donut Boxes: flat boxes for half-dozens and dozens.
- Macaron Boxes: slim boxes and drawers with fitted trays.
- Cookie Boxes: window boxes and gift boxes for cookies.
Sizing a cake box
Add about an inch to the cake board on each side and at least an inch above the tallest decoration. Tiered and tall cakes need a taller box or a two-piece style. Send the sizes you bake most often and we suggest a small set of box sizes that covers them.
FAQ
Do bakery boxes arrive assembled?+
No. They ship flat to save freight and storage, and fold up in seconds.
Can I get a box with a clear window?+
Yes. Windows can be film-covered, or an open cut-out for a plastic-free option.
What is the minimum order?+
10 boxes for any style. Short runs are printed digitally, and larger runs move to offset printing for a lower cost per box.
