Window Cake Boxes

Packaging That Shows Off What Matters

Perfect for bakeries, dessert counters, wedding vendors, and catering services, our cake boxes with windows add display value while protecting your treats in transit or on the shelf.

Food-Grade Materials That Lock in Freshness

We use bakery-safe boards and clear windows designed to keep your cakes fresh, secure, and presentation-ready.

• White SBS Paperboard – Smooth surface for branding and safe for direct food contact
• Kraft or Natural Cardboard – Eco-friendly, rustic, and strong
• PET or PVC Window Films – Transparent, food-safe materials that resist fogging
• Grease- and moisture-resistant coatings – Keeps frosting smears and oil stains away

Whether it’s a single cupcake or a multi-layer masterpiece, we tailor each box to fit your bakery’s menu and style.

• Single-slice and cupcake window boxes – Great for cafes and takeaways

• Handle-top designs – For portable cake gifts or party favors

When measuring a custom box, there are a few technical specifications that must be considered to ensure proper design, manufacturing, and fit for the product. Here are the major technical things to measure a custom box:

Inside Dimensions (Critical for Product Fit)

• Length (L): The longest side of the box measured inside from one corner to the opposite corner.
• Width (W): The shorter side of the box measured inside perpendicular to the length.
• Depth/Height (D or H): Measured inside from the bottom to the top opening of the box. Always specify that dimensions are given in Length × Width × Height.

Outside Dimensions (Important for Shipping & Storage)

• Measure the outer surfaces of the box including material thickness.
• Outside measurements are used for pallet stacking, warehouse spacing, and shipping compliance.

Material Thickness (Board Caliper)

• The thickness of the packaging material (e.g., corrugated board, rigid stock, cardstock).
• Impacts both the internal usable space and external dimensions.

Flap Measurements

• For boxes with flaps (e.g., mailer or shipping boxes), measure:
• Inner flaps: Ensure they meet in the middle without overlapping too much.
• Outer flaps: Allow proper sealing without gaps.

Tolerances

• Account for manufacturing tolerances (usually ±1/16" or ±2mm depending on material).
• Ensure the product fits without being too tight or loose.

Volume Capacity

• Calculate internal cubic capacity (L × W × H).
• Helps in determining how much space the product will occupy and shipping efficiency.

Product Orientation

• Decide how the product sits inside the box and measure accordingly.
• Orientation affects whether length or width is the primary dimension.

Die-Cut Openings or Windows

• Measure exact placement, height, and width for any cutouts.
• Ensure structural integrity when adding windows.

Printing Bleed & Safe Zones

• Include measurements for:
• Bleed area: Extra space beyond the cut line for printing.
• Safe zone: Inner area where critical text or logos should be placed.

Closure Type & Locking Tabs

• Measure slots, tabs, or locks for boxes with custom closures.
• Precision is required to avoid misalignment during assembly.

Packaging Style

• Folds, creases, and scores must be measured for accurate dieline creation.
• Different styles (e.g., RSC, tuck-end, mailer, sleeve) require specific panel measurements.
