Dessert Boxes are custom-printed paperboard cartons built for bakeries, patisseries, and dessert bars that pack cakes, tarts, mousse cups, and plated sweets to-go. Each box is made to your size and brand.
A clean fold and tuck means your team assembles boxes fast during a rush, and full-color printing turns a plain carry-out into a piece your customers photograph. Add a window cutout so a layered trifle or a row of mini cheesecakes sells itself on the counter before anyone opens the lid.

Patisserie Carton Quantities Explained
Delicate desserts fail in transit for two reasons: they slide, and they get squashed. A fitted pad or scored tray stops movement, while adequate interior height keeps a lid away from piped decoration. Board grade is chosen as a material specification, and a window patch swaps a small amount of stiffness for a clear view of the pastry work.
| Boxes | Dessert transport notes |
|---|---|
| 50 | Height trials with your tallest decorated item. |
| 500 | One patisserie counter through a busy month. |
| 1,000 | Two and four portion boxes tooled as a set. |
| 5,000 | Window patching stops carrying much of the cost. |
| 10,000+ | Catering supply produced from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Two production tracks decide delivery: work kept on domestic lines can wrap near about 7 business days, specialty imported inserts may add up to about 12 weeks, both worded as planning ranges, not guarantees. Free dieline design is drawn for each new tray or pad we create. Send item height, portions held, window choice, and weekly counter volume.
