How to choose your packaging
Corrugated cardboard boxes for cakes, pastries and cupcakes, with dimensions matched to the overall diameter and height. Bases and internal dividers can be considered, along with die-cut self-assembly formats or flap boxes for larger groupings.
Measure the base and total height including decoration. Describe piece count, spacing and storage and transport conditions to assess the base, dividers and opening.
Product, dimensions and handling
- Dimensions: distinguish usable internal space from external dimensions.
- Contents: include bases, wrappers and dividers when calculating space.
- Handling: describe transport, stacking and storage conditions.
Explain whether pastries will touch cardboard or sit on bases, and whether grease, moisture or refrigeration is expected, to confirm the packaging materials.
Customisation and printing
Ask about dimension and flexographic printing options. Send your logo or artwork and identify the panels you want printed. Text and graphic placement are agreed for the selected format.
Information needed for a quote
Provide quantity, required internal dimensions, contents and packed weight per box. Include printing artwork, destination and preferred date. If you already use packaging, share its dimensions and explain what you need to improve.
