Key Takeaway
Cake boxes are custom-printed paperboard or corrugated cartons built to keep a cake stable and presentable between the kitchen and the customer, from a 300-unit minimum with dieline planning included on every order. Kraft or white SBS stock prints full color, with die-cut windows available for display and FSC-certified board by specification.
Production timing is confirmed once artwork and sizing are approved. Bakeries, cake studios, cafes and event caterers use this format for everyday cakes, tiered wedding orders and seasonal gift boxes alike.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about custom cake boxes, materials and ordering.
What size cake box do I need?
Measure the cake board first, then leave enough extra height for frosting, toppers and safe removal from the box. Share your cake diameter and height with your quote request and we will confirm the right dimensions.
Can a cake box support a heavy tiered cake?
Reinforced corrugated construction and internal supports are available for heavier tiered cakes. Tell us the estimated weight and tier count so the right board and structure can be confirmed.
Are cake boxes grease-resistant?
A grease-resistant interior coating option is available to keep buttercream and oils from soaking through the board. Ask for this option when requesting your quote.
What is the minimum order for cake boxes?
Orders start from 300 units. The final minimum can vary with size, structure and finish, and it is confirmed in your quote.
How long does production take?
Production timing is confirmed with your quote and starts once you approve the dieline and proof. Complex or high-volume orders take longer, and shipping time depends on the destination.
Are cake boxes FSC-certified?
FSC-certified paper options are available when specified, along with recyclable materials. See the certifications and materials page for the scope of each claim.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. Samples are available on request so you can check the board, finish and print quality before committing to a full production run.
Do you offer window cake boxes?
Yes. A die-cut window with a clear film panel can be added so a decorated cake is visible without opening the box.
