Macaron boxes 12 are dimensioned around one specification: a precise 3×4 or 4×3 cavity grid sized to hold a dozen standard 1.5-inch macaron shells without crowding or excess airspace. Crat Packaging engineers macaron boxes 12 with exact internal measurements, so bakers get a consistent fit whether they’re filling one box or a thousand.
Our team maps out the internal grid before any production run begins, checking wall thickness and cavity spacing carefully so a dozen shells sit level and secure inside the finished box every single time.
