A custom bakery box prints your logo, your colors and your name across the outside, so the name goes home with the order and sits on the kitchen table. For a shape this page does not carry, the full [custom box printing](https://www.4over4.com/custom-box-printing) range lists every other box. A run of 1,000 costs $797.02, about 80 cents a box and only $85.24 more than the 250 minimum, so a season's supply costs far less per box than a small first run. ### Print more, pay less per print 9 quantity tiers, 250 to 25,000 prints - Quantity: 250 prints - Per print: $2.85 - Box total: $711.78 - You save: 0% - 500 prints, 50% off, $1.42 per print - 1,000 prints, 72% off, 79.7¢ per print - 5,000 prints, 84% off, 44.6¢ per print - 10,000 prints, 86% off, 40.4¢ per print - 25,000 prints, 87% off, 36.6¢ per print $2.85 per print at 250, 36.6¢ at 25,000 ### What Are Bakery Boxes They are printed cartons for cupcakes, cookies, pastries and small cakes. A bakery hands them over the counter, a cafe fills them for grab-and-go, a caterer packs dessert in them, and a home baker sends a custom order home in one. For a softer pouch-style wrap for a single truffle or a few macarons, see the [Pillow Boxes](https://www.4over4.com/product/pillow-boxes). ### What Size Should a Bakery Box Be Measure the tallest thing going in, including the frosting swirl, and add a little clearance, because a lid that touches the top of a cupcake ruins it before the customer reaches the car. The shallow 1.7" box is for things that lie flat; the 2.625" square is for things that stand up. These two are the only sizes offered: an 8" or 10" cake box, a six-cupcake tray or a dozen-doughnut box is larger than anything here, and a window in the lid is not an option. ### Bakery Boxes , Configured Your Way 2 option groups, 4 choices, defaults: 14pt Uncoated Cover ### Which box holds what | Box | What it holds comfortably | | --- | --- | | Shallow, 5" x 7" x 1.7" | Cookies, brownies, macarons, small pastries, a slice of cake, a pair of doughnuts laid flat. The low depth keeps things from sliding around. | | Square, 5.5" x 5.5" x 2.625" | Four standard cupcakes in a two by two grid with the frosting kept low, a single tall dessert, a stack of cookies or a cluster of truffles. | ### What Are Bakery Boxes Printed On The 14pt Uncoated Cover is natural and matte, a clean craft-bakery look, and its surface takes a handwritten date or a customer name from a marker at the counter. The 18pt Cover is heavier, with the gloss on the print side, so product photos and solid colors stay bright and the box shrugs off a fingerprint. ### What touches the food, and what does not Printing runs on the outside of the box only, and the interior stays plain board on both stocks, so nothing you upload is printed on the surface your product sits against. For anything greasy, warm or heavily glazed, such as doughnuts, buttery pastry or a still-warm brownie, use a liner: parchment, a cupcake insert or a cake circle keeps oil out of the board and the box looking new. Cold, dry cookies and macarons can go in as they are. ### How Much Do Bakery Boxes Cost 5,000 boxes come to $2,231.42 and 10,000 to $4,044.70, about 40 cents each. Custom printed packaging has a setup that a very small run cannot spread, which is why the floor sits at 250; printed boxes store flat, so order what leaves your counter in a few months rather than the smallest run on offer. The slider below covers the first six tiers, from 250 to 10,000. ## Wally turns a plain box into your brand Why a printed bakery box gets photographed, not tossed. A run of 250 bakery boxes costs $711.78, and the per-box price keeps dropping as you scale toward 25,000. Printed full color on the outside, the box carries your logo from the counter to the kitchen table. Pick a size, pick a stock, and Wally gets them printed in 7 business days. ### Bakery Boxes Price By Quantity 250 for $711.78 ( $2.85 each) up to 10,000 for $4,044.70 ( 40.4¢ each) - $711.78 $2.85 per unit, 250 250 units 10,000, Up to 86% less per unit at 10,000 ### How Do Bakery Boxes Compare to Other Packaging The comparison below puts them beside magnet, cube and golf ball boxes with the starting price of each.

Yes, on the 14pt Uncoated Cover: its surface takes a marker for a pickup name or a date. The gloss side of the 18pt Cover resists ink, so plan printed text there instead. ### Do the boxes arrive folded? They ship flat and fold into shape when you pack them, which keeps them easy to store behind the counter until you need them.
