Window vs Solid Cake Boxes for Whole Cakes and Sheet Cakes

Our bakery shops and grocery bakery counters use these cake boxes when a whole cake, quarter sheet, or half sheet has to leave the case without crushing the icing. Choose a box with window to showcase the decoration. Choose a solid cake box without windows when you need stacking, shipping, or a printed logo.

  • Window Cake Box Styles, Sizes, and Presentation

    • Window cake boxes in white window and kraft use an acetate window so customers see the icing without opening the lid. Front-load glued 4-corner styles slide a tall cake in from the side; lock-corner boxes fold from a flat blank.
    • Solid pastry and cake boxes without windows — white, natural kraft, cocoa brown, pink, and gloss black — protect the cake and stack cleaner for transport.
    • Size the cake box to the cake shape. Square sizes include 8x8x4, 9 x 9, 10 x 10, and 12 x 12. Quarter sheet is 14 x 10. Half sheet is 19 x 14. White cake cover lids (18-1/2 x 13-1/4 and 26-1/2 x 18-1/4 x 2") sit over large sheet cakes when you only need a lid.
    • Tall icing, flowers, or a second tier need 5" or 6" height. A 2-1/2" box is for a short cake, mini cake, or pastry — not a decorated layer cake.
  • Kraft - View It Window Bakery Box - 8 x 8 x 3-1/2"

    Paperboard Kraft, Pink, and Gloss Bakery and Cake Boxes

    • These are folding paperboard cake boxes (cardboard cake packaging), not plastic containers and not cake boards. Many lines use recycled paperboard with a kraft or white interior.
    • White pastry boxes give a classic bakery look. Kraft bakery and cake boxes take stamps and labels. Pink and cocoa brown read as branded dessert boxes. Gloss black with a white interior is the upscale presentation box.
    • A window cake should sit above the decoration, not against it. Set the cake on a cake board sized inside the box so the lid does not press the icing.
    • Custom logo printing is available on many stock colors in low minimums. Order a sample before a case quantity.
  • Wholesale Bakery Uses for Cake Boxes

    • Cake shops usually standardize one everyday 8x8x4 or 10 x 10 cake box, then keep a taller window cake box for decorated and wedding cake orders.
    • Grocery bakery counters and catering kitchens need sturdy lock-corner boxes that assemble fast, stack, and ship. Solid kraft or white is usually faster than a window box during a rush.
    • Some window sizes also pack pastries, cookies, pies, or mini cupcakes. That does not replace cupcake boxes with inserts. Use this collection for whole cakes and sheet cakes.
    • We have sold packaging for about 20 years. Our customers sample the real cake in the box, then lock wholesale bakery case quantities with fast shipping.
