Product Overview

Bakeries, home bakers and dessert shops that need a clean way to carry a cake reach for a sturdy SBS or kraft folding carton that stores flat and prints to the brand.

Because it folds flat, the carton takes up almost no back-room space until the moment it is needed, then pops into shape in seconds at the counter. Printed to the brand, it turns a routine handoff into something a little more considered, and an optional window lets the cake show through before the lid even opens.
