Materials and Board Specifications
Our custom kraft donut boxes For related packaging needs, explore our retail boxes. are manufactured using FSC-certified kraft paperboard, selected for food safety, structural performance, and print quality. We offer three primary board weight options:
- 250 gsm kraft board: A lightweight option appropriate for single donut boxes and small window display packaging. Folds cleanly and holds a tuck closure reliably for light-duty retail use.
- 300 gsm kraft board: The most popular weight for multi-donut boxes. Provides strong fold lines, reliable stacking strength on countertops and in transport bags, and an excellent print surface for full-color branding.
- 350 gsm kraft board: Premium weight for large-format donut boxes, event catering quantities, and high-end gift-style packaging where box rigidity contributes to the presentation.
All boards are food-safe and compatible with glazed, filled, and cream-topped donuts. We recommend a grease-resistant liner for boxes that will hold freshly glazed or cream-filled donuts. Printing uses soy-based inks for vivid color on kraft's natural surface. Lamination options include matte and gloss, with soft-touch and spot UV available for premium finishes.
