Boxes for large cakes are built around the one thing a big bake needs most: a stable base and enough internal height to protect decoration. A wide, flat bottom keeps a heavy cake steady when it is lifted and carried, while a tall lid keeps toppers and piping clear of the surface.
Measuring the finished cake
Measure across the widest tier and up to the tallest point, including any topper, then add clearance on every side. It is the internal height that most often catches people out, so allow generous headroom rather than risk smudging decoration against the lid.
Structure and print
- Wide, stable base for a heavy cake
- Internal height set to clear decoration
- Custom size, printed on the board we stock
Board choice matters for a heavy bake, since a base that flexes lets the cake shift when it is carried. If the box is likely to be carried any distance, consider how it will be gripped, and keep the print practical so any handling marks are less obvious on a pale, uncoated surface.
Made to order from 100 units on the board held for this line. Request a sample so you can place a base board and check both stability and clearance before you approve the full run. If the packaging will be in direct contact with food, tell us your food-contact and handling requirements when you enquire so a suitable board can be confirmed.
