Sized Below Full-Size Pie Boxes
Full pies need a 9 or 10-inch box, like our 9 Inch Pie Boxes line, but individual and mini pies, hand pies, and tarts need a smaller footprint with tighter tolerances so the product does not shift in transit. Small Pie Boxes covers that gap, from single-serving 4-inch boxes up to 6-inch mini pie formats, with the same food-safe coating and vent options as our full-size lines.
Common Uses
- Bakery grab-and-go for individual pie servings.
- Hand pie and empanada packaging for cafes and food trucks.
- Farmers market and pop-up vendors selling mini pies.
- Gift and holiday sets pairing a small pie with other treats.
Vent and Window Options
Vented lids let steam escape to prevent sogginess, while a clear window shows the product to shoppers. Kraft board is available for a rustic bakery look.
Sustainability
A 2025 McKinsey & Company survey found over 60% of U.S. consumers pick green packaging when they have the choice. Crat Packaging offers recyclable and FSC-certified board options so your small box program can back up its sustainability claims without adding cost or slowing production.
