Packaging Designed Around Your Cakes

Every cake is different, so the packaging needs to be right for the product. A box that is too small can affect the presentation, while one that is too large may not provide the support you need.

We can help you choose a suitable format based on the size, height and type of cake you’re selling. Our packaging can be used for a variety of products, including celebration cakes, birthday cakes, cupcakes, desserts and other bakery items.

If you have specific dimensions in mind, simply share them with us and we’ll discuss the available options.

Create Packaging That Represents Your Brand

Your packaging is part of your customer experience. Adding your logo, colours or artwork can turn a standard box into something that customers immediately associate with your business.

Depending on the style you choose, you can personalise your packaging with:

  • Your logo or business name
  • Brand colours
  • Artwork and graphics
  • Contact details
  • Website or social media information
  • A bespoke design

Printed cake boxes are particularly useful for businesses that want their packaging to look consistent across their products and marketing materials.

Sizes and Styles to Suit Your Products

We understand that one size doesn’t work for every cake.

Packaging can be produced to suit different product dimensions, from smaller cakes and cupcakes to larger celebration cakes. If you regularly sell different products, we can also discuss creating a range of sizes for your business.

Depending on your requirements, options may include:

  • Standard cake boxes
  • Tall boxes for higher cakes
  • Cupcake and individual treat boxes
  • Cake slice packaging
  • Boxes with bespoke dimensions
  • Presentation boxes for special occasions

If you’re unsure which size or style would work best, our team can help you work through your requirements.

Choose the Right Material

The material you choose can affect the appearance, strength and overall feel of your packaging.

Cardboard

Cardboard is a versatile choice for bakery packaging and can be printed or finished to complement your brand.

Kraft

Kraft packaging has a natural, understated appearance and can work particularly well for businesses with a simple or eco-conscious brand aesthetic.

Corrugated

Where additional strength is important, corrugated packaging can provide a more robust option for handling and transportation.

The most suitable material will depend on your product, box style and how the packaging will be used.

Add a Window or Custom Finish

Sometimes customers want to see the product before opening the box. A window can make the contents more visible while adding another design element to the packaging.

Other finishing options may also be available depending on the box style and material. If you have a particular look in mind, share your design with us and we’ll help you explore the possibilities.

  • Daily bakery orders

  • Wedding and event cakes
