Custom Bakery Boxes for Your Sweet Treats

Right Size To Keep Your Bakes Presentable

Right sizing for bakery boxes is crucial, as bakery products are delicate and need careful packaging. These products often have toppings, icings, and decoration materials. Therefore, when measuring the product size, all of these factors are considered. It is recommended to always measure the finished bakery products. This will give you accurate measurements for personalized packaging. Every product has its own need for packaging. Cupcakes, cakes, cake slices, macarons, truffles, cookies, pies, and donuts have different needs. At The Rigid Boxes, we manufacture packaging that is exclusively for your product. It has enough space for product placement and removal while protecting the product.

Brands cannot choose any generic cake box for different bakery items. For the perfect presentation, the box has to be specifically designed for the product.

Start With the Finished Product

Measure the finished product, considering the decorations, wraps, inserts, or liners.

Leave Space for Decorations

Always leave space for decoration. A box should have enough space after closing that it should not touch or ruin the cake toppings.

Do Not Oversize Small Treats

Perfect sizing is critically important for custom bakery packaging. Packing cookies, donuts, brownies, pastries, and macarons in oversized boxes can damage the items and spoil the presentation.

Pick the Opening Style Your Staff Can Live With

Opening style is most important when we talk about bakery packaging. A box that is easy to open, offers secure closure, and is easy to pick is welcomed by customers. Moreover, employees have to pack hundreds of products on a daily basis. Therefore, selecting an opening style that does not require any manual to work is best for busy routines and a memorable customer experience.

Additionally, another important factor to consider is delivery and handling methods. If you want to use boxes for delivery, then you must have handles for picking.

We have following opening styles:

• Straight Tuck End Boxes
• Reverse Tuck End Boxes
• No Glue Cake Boxes
• Side Lock Cake Boxes
• Six Corner Boxes
• Gable Boxes
• Two Piece Boxes

Let Customers See What They Are Buying

A good marketing strategy is making your customers curious and creating fascination around the product. How to attract customers? The easiest way is giving them a glimpse of the product. That’s where window boxes come to your help. Getting a transparent window on the boxes is useful for brands. Customers can see the product, get fascinated, think about it, and buy it. Brands do not have to open the packaging, as customers can see through the transparent window.

We have:

Windows for Decorated Cakes

Show cake decorations from the top and side with window boxes.

Windows for Cookies and Macarons

Windows for cookies and macarons let customers see the organized products.

Windows for Pastries

Influence your customers to buy pastries by placing them in window boxes. The window will let customers have a look at toppings, glazes, shapes, and frosting.

Cupcakes Need Their Own Space

Cupcakes are small cakes that are usually packed in multiples in a single box. They can be two, four, six, or eight. Imagine you have placed 4 decorated cupcakes in a single box without any inserts, divider, or liners. What will happen?  It is quite obvious that they will bump into each other, tilt, frosting will be smeared on the box, and they will lose their place until they reach the customer. To avoid such situations, The Rigid Boxes has solutions for you. You can get inserts, liners, wraps, dividers, and partitions for cupcakes to keep them in and an organized form.

Cupcake Inserts

Get cavities for cupcakes to keep them separated and straight.

Cookie Dividers

Dividers for cookies keep different varieties separate and avoid movement.

For macarons, we have specially designed trays. The tray is fitted so placing them in the tray reduces the chances of movement.

Mixed Dessert Compartments

Choose the Board Based on What You Are Packing

Get luxury bakery boxes made from high-quality materials. We have rigid boxes that protect the products with giving them a branded appearance. For custom bakery packaging, we use different types of materials. These materials are FDA approved and food-safe.It is entirely a brand’s choice what material they preferred. Moreover, material is selected according to the product weight, size, fragility, selling environment, required presentation, and handling. We have:

• Cardboard
• Grayboard
• Buxboard
• Kraft Board

Here is a comparison table, helping you to understand the specifications and uses of these materials.

Materials That Handle Grease and Moisture

Pastries, cakes, and other bakery items are made using butter, oil, cream, filling, and glaze. They have grease and moisture. Hence, they need packaging that is food safe and grease-resistant.  Coatings, lamination, glue, and printing ink must be food-grade as they can come into contact with products. We use materials, inks, and glue that are harmless and can be used for food packaging. Moreover, to prevent grease leakage, we use different types of wraps. They are food-grade and approved by authorities.

Packaging That Works Beyond the Bakery

Rigid bakery packaging is not just about displaying in bakeries. It is beyond that. A brand should know how to pack and deliver the cakes safely. While delivering, the orders are stacked with other orders. Therefore, a box that can handle stacking is crucial for delivery purposes. Hence, box dimensions, structure, style, board, closure, and internal support are selected according to the selling environment.

Stacking

Rigid bakery boxes should handle the stacking if they are used for delivery. A stronger and thicker board is used for construction.

Delivery

If your bakery offers local delivery, packaging should be considered alongside the way orders are transported. A fitted box can help limit movement, while an appropriate board structure can provide additional support.

Pickup

For pickups, the box design should be customer-friendly and easy to use. For such purposes, we add handles or gabble structure.

Your Bakery Name Should Travel With the Treat

Branding is about thinking creative and beyond the ordinary. People order bakery items and take them to parties, offices, and to gift their loved ones. This is a golden chance for your marketing. For this, we design a printing strategy to enhance your brand identity.

Use the Inside of the Lid Too

Use the inside of the box for your marketing. You can add a thank you message, reorder method, social media handles, brand story, QR codes, discount offers, and promotional messages.

Put Your Bakery Brand on the Box

We have different printing methods that give different results. Printing method is decided according to the quantity and packaging requirements.For food packaging, we use soy-based inks to ensure the safety of products.
