What sizes of small cake boxes are available?
We offer a range of sizes—from mini single-serving boxes (e.g. 4×4×3 in) to standard small cakes (e.g. 8×8×4 in). Custom dimensions are also supported to precisely match your cake or pastry dimensions. -
Can I add a clear window on the box?
Yes. You can choose small cake boxes with window cut-outs that use clear film inserts. This lets customers view the cake without opening the box, preserving freshness and presentation. -
Are these boxes food safe and grease resistant?
Absolutely. We use food-grade board and optionally apply grease-resistant coatings or lamination so that frosting, oils, or moisture won’t seep through and damage the box. -
Can I print my logo and design on the boxes?
Yes. We support custom small cake boxes custom printed using offset or digital printing, CMYK or PMS inks. You can also add embellishments like foil stamping, embossing, spot UV, or matte/gloss finishes. -
How should I choose the right box size for my cake?
Measure the cake base (length × width) and height including decorations. Choose a box slightly larger in internal dimensions to avoid touching sides. Leave a little clearance so frosting or toppers aren’t squeezed. Using a proper cake board inside helps maintain stability.
