Cake & Bakery Packaging

 Cake & Bakery Packaging: Key Takeaways

Cake and bakery boxes are paperboard cartons with a base and an attached lid that fold up around cakes, pies, cupcakes and pastries. Corner-glued styles arrive flat and pop up quickly, while self lock styles fold together with tabs and no glue. A window in the lid lets customers see the bake inside. iBox Factory prints custom bakery boxes from 100 boxes, with our designers helping for free and a digital proof to check before printing.

 Four Corner, Six Corner or Self Lock?

The Four Corner Cake Box is glued at the four base corners, so it opens into a ready tray with a hinged lid, a dependable pick for sheet cakes and pastry orders. The Regular Six Corner Box adds two glued corners on the lid as well, giving a firmer lid and front for larger cakes or stacked orders. The Self Lock Cake Box folds together with interlocking tabs and no glue, so it stores flat and suits bakeries that assemble boxes by hand at the counter.

 Bakery Box Materials and How Ordering Works

For cake boxes, the product pages list standard white, kraft and colored cardstocks, with E-flute corrugated for heavier or tiered cakes. Print your logo in CMYK or PMS, choose a gloss or matte coating, and add a window cut-out with PVC sheet so the cake shows through. Foiling and embossing are available for gift and holiday ranges. Send the cake sizes you sell for a quote, work with our designers, approve the digital proof, and receive your order with free US shipping.
