Cake and bakery boxes protect something delicate that a customer is often carrying by hand, so the box has to be sturdy, food safe, and easy to open without a mess. We build them with a flat, solid base that keeps a cake level, a window that lets the bake sell itself, and a lid that closes securely for a car ride or a delivery bag. Sizes run from a single cupcake box up to a full sheet cake carton, in kraft for a homemade look or white for bright print, with food grade board and the right coating for anything moist or greasy. Print your bakery name and logo full color so the box markets the shop on every counter it lands on. There is no minimum, so a home baker can start small and reorder as they grow. Send your cake sizes and we will build the box to hold them.

Cake and bakery box specification
A bakery box is carried by hand, often by someone who is also holding car keys. Everything below follows from that.
| Sizing | From a single cupcake box up to a full sheet cake carton. Send the finished bake dimensions rather than the tin size, and say whether it is boxed on a board. |
|---|---|
| Base | A flat, solid base so the cake sits level and does not tilt on a car seat. This matters more than any other part of the build for anything decorated. |
| Board and coating | Kraft for a homemade look or white for bright print, on food grade board. Anything moist, greasy or freshly iced wants a grease-resistant coating or it will mark through. |
| Window | A window lets the bake sell itself and is worth it on a counter. It is worth less on a delivery box that the customer never sees closed. |
| Closure | A lid that stays shut through a car ride or a delivery bag. Tell us whether it travels by hand, by courier, or on a bike. |
| Printing | Full color, so the box markets the shop on every counter it lands on. |
| Minimum order | None. Order the quantity you can actually move. If you are holding a written quote from someone else, send it over and we will work to beat it. A home baker can start small and reorder as they grow. |
| Production time | Standard runs are 7 to 14 business days. Print method and finishing move that. |
| Proof and samples | Free design and a free digital proof before anything prints. Samples on request. |
| Shipping | Free, with tracking. |
What to send us for a quote
Three things get you a real number rather than a range:
- Your cake sizes. The finished bake, not the tin. If you run several sizes, list them and we will build the range.
- How many, and how often. No minimum, and repeat runs are straightforward.
- Artwork, or the shop name. Design is free if you do not have a file.
