Cupcake Boxes

Custom Cupcake Boxes for Bakers, Cafés, and Big Occasions

Cupcakes are never “just a cake.” They’re a gift, a celebration, sometimes even the centrepiece of a party. That’s why the box matters. Our custom cupcake boxes are designed to fit each cupcake securely, keep frosting neat, and make the hand-off memorable. With options for single, 4-pack, 6-pack, or even 12-pack layouts, you’ll never have to squeeze your bakes into a box that doesn’t fit.

Built for Real-World Baking Needs

Cupcakes aren’t all the same — and neither should their boxes be. We help bakers and brands choose:

• Individual cupcake boxes for cafés and coffee shops.
• Boxes for 4 or 6 cupcakes for birthdays, family gatherings, or seasonal promotions.
• Large cupcake boxes for weddings, corporate events, or wholesale deliveries.
• Clear cupcake boxes with windows that let your decorations do the talking.

We also provide inserts that hold cupcakes snugly in place. No more sliding about, no more ruined icing.

The Perfect Material for Every Bakery Occasion

Every baker has different priorities. Some want eco-friendly kraft board, others want premium white cardboard, and some prefer rigid, luxury styles. At Buy Packaging Boxes, we offer:

• Cardboard cupcake boxes – lightweight, strong, and perfect for printing colourful designs.
• Kraft cupcake boxes – sustainable and rustic, ideal for organic or small-batch bakeries.
• Rigid premium finishes – for gifting, high-end patisseries, or festive runs like Christmas cupcake boxes.

All materials are FSC®-certified and food-safe, so you don’t just protect your cupcakes, you protect your reputation.

Printing and Finishes That Make Cupcakes Look Even Better

We know your box isn’t just there to hold cake – it’s there to speak for your brand. Some bakeries we work with go for big, colourful prints that shout their personality. Others keep things pared back – think a clean kraft box with just a foil-stamped logo in the corner. Both works beautifully, depending on the vibe you’re after.

If you’re running wedding favours, seasonal boxes, or corporate giveaways, we can personalise the print so it feels right for the occasion. And if you’d like to add something extra – a soft matte feel, a glossy shine, or even raised lettering – we’ll show you samples so you can see the effect in your hand before committing. Those little details are what take a box from “just packaging” to “gift-worthy”.

The Secret to Picture-Perfect Cupcakes

The right cupcake storage box isn’t just about aesthetics. It prevents toppled cakes and smudged frosting. We’ll guide you through sizes, whether it’s a mini cupcake box for petits fours or a large box for 12 cupcakes. Inserts can be customised for depth and diameter, ensuring each cake sits upright and picture-ready.

Packaging That’s as Good as Your Baking

Today’s customers flip packaging over to check if it’s recyclable before they take the first bite. That’s why our cupcake packaging is made from recyclable cardboard or kraft, with biodegradable coatings available on request. We print with vegetable-based inks to reduce environmental impact — a detail your eco-conscious buyers will notice and appreciate.

How We Saved a Bakery from Squashed Icing & Lost Customers?

One Manchester baker came to us after losing customers. Their cupcakes were delicious, but buyers kept complaining about “squashed icing.” The culprit? Generic cake boxes. We designed a sturdier 6-cupcake box with die-cut inserts and a clear window. Suddenly, complaints turned into Instagram posts. Their same cupcakes started showing up as “unboxing moments,” and the bakery saw a boost in wholesale orders from local cafés. Sometimes, it’s the packaging that unlocks the sale.

Why Bakers Trust Buy Packaging Boxes?

We’ve supplied packaging to independent bakeries, national coffee chains, and wedding planners across the UK. They trust us because we:

• Offer free design support and digital proofs before production.
• Handle everything in-house, so artwork stays private.
• Provide bulk cupcake boxes wholesale at fair prices.
• Deliver quickly, usually within 7–10 working days.
• Understand compliance — food-safe materials, FSC® certifications, and eco-options are standard.

Our goal is simple: to give your cupcakes a box that works as hard as your oven.

Questions We Get from Bakers and Café Owners

Can I order a box for one cupcake?

Of course. We make single cupcake boxes that fit snugly and can be finished with a small window so people get a quick peek without opening the lid.

What if I’m ordering hundreds for an event?

That’s common. When bakeries or caterers come to us for weddings or big parties, we simply price it so the cost per box drops with the quantity. It works out far cheaper in bulk than buying a handful at a time.

Are the boards actually safe for food?

They are. We only run food-grade stock through our machines, and if you’re selling cakes with heavy toppings or buttercream, we can add an inner coating so grease doesn’t spoil the look of the box.

Do you offer eco-friendly options?

We do. Many clients go for kraft because it’s recyclable and sturdy, but we can also produce compostable versions if you want to push sustainability further. Some bakeries even print a little “please recycle me” message on the back.

How long does it normally take to get them?

On average, around a week once we’ve finalised your design. However, if you’re working to a deadline — like a wedding order or a holiday rush — just give us a heads-up. We’ll always try to move things along so your boxes are ready when you need them.
