Custom Cake Boxes That Protect and Sell Your Cakes
A great cake is only half the sale. The box is what your customer sees first, carries home, and remembers. Our custom printed cake boxes give your bakery a clean, branded look that fits the cake inside instead of forcing it into a plain box.
You choose the size, style, material, and print. Add your logo, brand colors, and artwork so every cake leaves the counter with your name on it. Whether you run a home bakery, a cake shop, or a busy retail counter, cake boxes with logo help your product stand out on the shelf and in the photo your customer posts later.
Food-Safe Cake Boxes That Handle Grease and Moisture
Cakes are soft, moist, and often covered in buttercream or cream cheese frosting. Your packaging has to hold up to that without staining or going soggy. We make cake boxes from food-grade stock with grease-resistant lining, so oil and moisture stay off the print and the box keeps its shape from the counter to the car.
You can add a moisture barrier or coating for cream-based and refrigerated cakes. We print with food-safe inks, so the box is safe to sit next to your product. Whether it is a fresh sponge, a fudge cake, or a chilled cheesecake, the box protects the cake and keeps your branding clean.
Sturdy Cake Boxes for Safe Delivery
A cake that looks perfect in the shop needs to reach the customer the same way. Our cake boxes come with secure lids and self-locking closures that hold the cake in place during the drive. For tall, layered, or tiered cakes, you can choose reinforced or double-wall stock that will not bend or crush under weight.
Add carry handles for easier lifting, and a firm base or cake board to keep the cake level. Boxes ship flat and assemble fast, so your team can pack quickly during a busy rush.
Inserts and Supports That Keep Cakes in Place
Loose space inside a box is what lets a cake shift and smear. We make custom inserts, cake pads, platforms, and trays that fit your exact cake size and hold it steady. Clear PVC windows and die-cut shapes let customers see the cake without opening the lid, which works well for retail display and gift orders.
Box Styles for Custom Cake Boxes
Different cakes need different boxes. We make cake packaging boxes in the styles that actually suit how a cake is packed, opened, and displayed. Each style can be printed and sized to match your cake.
- Two-Piece Boxes: a separate base and lid for a clean, gift-ready open
- Tuck-Top Boxes: quick to close, good for everyday bakery sales
- Window Boxes: show the cake and frosting without opening the lid
- Gable Boxes: built-in handle for smaller cakes and takeaway orders
- Slide-Out boxes: a smooth drawer-style open for a premium feel
Not sure which style fits your cake? Send us your cake size and we will point you to the right one.
Custom Sizes and Shapes for Cake Packaging
You can order your cake box in any shape or size, from square to round to triangular. The right-sized box protects the cake and keeps it from sliding, and it makes your brand look professional.
Here are common cake box sizes to start from:
- Bento or Mini cake boxes: 3 to 4 inches across
- 1 pound cake boxes: 8 x 8 x 4 or 8 x 8 x 5 inches
- 2 pound cake boxes: 9 x 9 x 4 or 10 x10 x 4 inches
These are starting points, not fixed sizes. We make every box to your exact cake dimensions, so tell us the measurements and we will match them.
Materials You Can Choose
The right material depends on your cake, your budget, and the look you want.
- Cardboard: lightweight and sturdy, with a clean surface for full-color print. A popular all-round choice for retail cake boxes.
- Kraft: a natural brown look for bakeries that want an eco-friendly feel. Works well with simple, clean branding.
- Corrugated: a fluted layer for extra strength, good for heavier cakes and longer delivery runs.
- Paperboard: smooth and easy to customize for lighter single cakes and gift boxes.
Printing and Finishing Options
Printing decides how clearly your brand shows on the shelf. We print in full-color CMYK and PMS brand colors, for both short runs and large wholesale orders.
Finishes add texture and shine that make your logo and design stand out:
- Matte and gloss lamination
- Soft-touch lamination for a velvet feel
- Spot UV to highlight your logo
- Gold and silver foil stamping
- Embossing and debossing for raised or pressed detail
- Aqueous coating to reduce smudges and surface wear
Mix and match to get the exact look your brand needs.
