Product Overview

About Cake Boxes

Custom cake boxes that protect your creations from counter to doorstep. Built on 350 GSM food-grade SBS paperboard with grease-resistant aqueous coatings, these boxes handle buttercream, fondant, and ganache without oil bleed-through. Every box ships flat, pops open in 3 seconds, and holds structure during delivery. Choose from standard bakery sizes (6" to 14") or go fully custom for oversized tiered cakes. Add die-cut windows to show off your frosting work, or go full-wrap CMYK for shelf-ready retail presence. Used by 600+ bakeries across North America. FDA-compliant materials. Soy-based inks. FSC-certified board stock available. Starting at $0.65/unit for 500-piece orders.

Custom cake boxes are the most critical packaging decision a bakery makes — they carry the product that took hours to decorate across miles of delivery routes. A box that collapses, absorbs grease, or fogs up a display window costs you the entire sale plus a refund.

Cubit's cake boxes use 350 GSM solid bleached sulfate (SBS) paperboard with FDA food-contact certification and aqueous grease-resistant coatings rated to 12-hour hold times. The base locks automatically on assembly (crash-lock or auto-bottom), keeping the cake centered even when the box tilts 15 degrees during transport.

Our bakery clients use window die-cuts in 73%% of orders — the clear PET window lets customers see the cake before purchasing, increasing point-of-sale conversion by up to 30%% (2025 PMMI Bakery Packaging Report). We offer round, square, rectangular, and custom-shape windows with anti-fog film for refrigerated display cases.

Every cake box includes food-safe soy-based inks and water-based laminations, making the entire package curbside recyclable after use. No petroleum coatings, no PFAS, no BPA.
