Description
Make A Boxes produces cake packaging built for daily bakery operations. The design starts with structure. We use food-grade SBS and kraft paperboard in 16pt–24pt thickness ranges. This provides load support for cakes weighing up to 5–7 lbs without base sagging.
Next comes accuracy. CNC-controlled die-cutting keeps dimensional variance within ±1.5 mm. As a result, panels align quickly during folding. Assembly time is reduced during high-volume packing.
Reinforced bases distribute vertical load across the full footprint. Sidewalls are calibrated for compression resistance during short stacking runs of 4–6 boxes. A cake box with lid uses a friction-lock closure system that holds position during transit but releases smoothly when opened.
Many bakeries pack honey-based cakes. Clover honey sponges. Wildflower honey glazes. Manuka honey finishes. These cakes add surface moisture and weight. Because of this, the box for cake layout allows controlled airflow gaps of 3–5 mm to limit condensation and frosting contact.
Branding is applied without weakening the structure. Custom cake boxes with logo are printed using low-absorption inks that prevent fiber breakdown along fold lines.
For scale, custom cake boxes wholesale production maintains size consistency across large runs. In short, these boxes support weight, speed, and repeatable packing performance.

FAQs
1. Can cake boxes be used for chilled or refrigerated cakes?
Yes. Most cake boxes are suitable for short-term refrigeration. However, they are not designed for freezing or long cold storage where moisture buildup can weaken paperboard.
2. Do cake boxes affect frosting or decorative finishes?
Properly sized cake boxes prevent surface contact. Choosing the correct height and internal clearance helps protect buttercream, fondant edges, toppers, and delicate piping work.
3. How do I choose the right cake box height?
Measure the cake from base to highest decoration, then add ½–1 inch of clearance. This space prevents lid contact and avoids smearing during closure or movement.
4. Are cake boxes safe for direct food contact?
Cake boxes are produced using food-grade materials approved for bakery use. Cakes should still be placed on boards or liners for stability and hygiene.
5. What causes cake boxes to collapse during transport?
Collapse usually happens due to incorrect board thickness, oversized dimensions, or excess weight. Matching box strength to cake weight is critical for safe delivery.
