Dessert Boxes

Dessert boxes by The Legacy Printing, often also referred to as sweet boxes or pastry boxes, are essentially special types of packaging containers that are designed for storing and transporting desserts such as cakes, cupcakes, pies, cookies, and other baked goods. They are made from Kraft cardstock, including corrugated cardboard, since they’re lightweight, durable, and also because they are recyclable. Dessert boxes come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs, depending on the requirements.

Understanding Dessert Boxes

If you’re looking to get a good idea about dessert boxes, then you’re at the right place since we’ll be looking at them in some detail. First, the majority of dessert boxes are paper-based, a choice that’s both practical and environmentally friendly. Paper-based boxes are light, sturdy, and, more importantly, they’re usually recyclable. Next, you might have noticed that custom dessert packaging comes in all shapes and sizes; that’s because they’re customised to snugly fit whatever treats they’re designed to hold. A box for a single slice of cake will be slim and compact, while a box for a dozen cupcakes will be larger with inserts to keep each cupcake secure, ensuring our sweet treats get from A to B without turning into a crumbly mess. But dessert boxes aren’t just about protection; businesses often use custom dessert packaging as a way to showcase their brand. A box might be printed with a logo or a catchy design, turning a simple dessert packaging into a mobile advertisement. 

Different Types of Dessert Boxes

First off, you’ve got your standard, no-frills, single-use boxes. You’ll see these quite a bit in cafes and bakeries. They’re often plain white or brown and made of sturdy, lightweight paper or cardboard—the perfect thing for taking home a slice of Victoria sponge or a couple of jammy dodgers. Next, we’ve got printed dessert boxes. These are fantastic ways for businesses to display their stuff. They can be printed with various designs, colours, and even the company’s logo. It’s not just about making the box look pretty - it’s also a great form of advertising. And then we have wholesale dessert boxes. These are the big hitters, often bought in bulk by businesses. But don’t think that wholesale means they’re all plain and boring. Oh no, quite the opposite! Wholesale dessert boxes can also be customised, printed, and tailored to fit the specific needs of a business. Lastly, we’ve got eco-friendly boxes. These are made from recycled materials and are often biodegradable or compostable.
