Learn More About Cake Boxes

Custom cake boxes from Crat Packaging protect and present every layer cake, tiered cake, or specialty bake from the bakery counter to the customer’s table. Made from food-grade board at our US facility, each box is cut to your exact cake size with a reinforced base that won’t sag under frosting and filling, plus free design support so your branding prints cleanly every run.

Why Choose Our Cake Boxes

  • Reinforced base – supports single-tier and multi-tier cakes without flexing.
  • Food-grade board – kraft or white SBS stock safe for direct food contact.
  • Custom sizing – round, square, or tiered cakes cut to the exact diameter and height you need.
  • Window option – show off a decorated cake without opening the lid.
  • Full-color branding – CMYK or PMS spot-color printing for a consistent bakery look.
  • Low MOQ – 100 units, accessible for independent bakeries and growing brands.
