Custom kraft cake boxes are made from kraft board to hold cakes of a given size, from cupcakes to layered creations. Because cakes are heavy at the base and delicate on top, the box is sized around both the diameter and the height, with enough headroom to clear icing and decoration.
Base and headroom
A filled cake puts real weight on the base, so it needs to support the load without sagging when lifted. Above the cake, allowing headroom stops the lid touching the icing and smudging the finish. Getting both right keeps the cake looking as good on arrival as it did when boxed.
Closure and print
A cake box has to stay shut while carried level.
- Size the base to support the cake's weight
- Allow headroom above icing and decoration
- Choose a closure that holds while carrying
Ordering and handling
Cakes are carried level and often over some distance, so a base that stays firm when lifted is worth checking with your actual cake. If you offer several cake sizes, a set of matching box sizes keeps stock manageable. Share the cake diameter, height including decoration and how it is carried when you request a quote, so the base, headroom and closure can be planned together.
These boxes are made to your custom size. A sample with your cake confirms the base holds and the lid clears the top.
