How to Choose a Cupcake Packaging Box?

A cupcake packaging box is not just a container for holding things - it is the final "anti-toppling barrier" for your carefully crafted cupcakes. I have been baking for many years, whether at a farmers' market stall or taking custom orders, and I have fallen into the trap of choosing the wrong packaging box many times: if the size is incorrect, even the most perfect cupcakes will be wasted. If it is too tight, the carefully applied frosting will be crushed directly; if it is too loose, the cake will roll around like a marble inside, and the whole thing will be ruined when it arrives. Here, I would like to recommend our long-term reliable partner - Sunshine Bakery Packaging Company. They can provide one-stop purchasing and customized services, with a wide range of products and excellent service. The large retail and wholesale merchants who have worked with them all highly appreciate it, and the customer satisfaction rate is extremely high. Today, based on their product advantages, I will talk about some practical things with you, teaching you how to choose the right size. The whole process will be in plain language, without those confusing industry terms.

These standard sizes are safe to choose with your eyes closed.

Most cupcake boxes are classified based on the number they can hold. Over time, fixed sizes have emerged, not randomly chosen but determined according to the actual needs of baking and selling. For instance, Sunshine Bakery Packaging Company has provided a comprehensive range of these standard sizes, covering both niche and regular styles. They also offer customization options and can fully meet the needs of different bakers. This is one of the key factors that enable them to maintain long-term cooperation with numerous large retail and wholesale distributors.

I often use these as party souvenirs or wedding decorations. The size is typically 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches (length by width), and the height is 3 inches. The single-hole boxes from Sunshine Bakery Packaging Company come in two heights: 3 inches and 3.5 inches. Just a reminder: If you want to create a high swirl with your cream or place edible flowers on top as small decorations, choose the 3.5-inch height option. I didn't pay attention to the height before. The cream of over twenty party cake decorations was all wrinkled. Later, I switched to their taller option, and this problem never occurred again. Moreover, their service is very considerate. They will recommend the appropriate size based on your decoration needs.

Small packaging: 2-hole and 4-hole boxes

The 2-hole box is double-layered. If you like to do complex decorations, such as placing macarons on the top or adding thick cream details, then choose their 6×6×5-inch tall model. It not only leaves enough space for the decorations but also doesn't waste any space. Their product range is particularly comprehensive. These specific size options can all be purchased in one place, eliminating the need to compare prices at multiple stores.

Common model: 6-hole box

I handle both home orders and office snack orders. The first choice is the 6-hole box. The standard size is 9 inches by 6 inches by 3.5 inches, divided into 2 rows, with 3 cakes in each row. I particularly like this size as it is not too heavy when filled, it is convenient to hold, and the portion looks sufficient. The customers think it's worth it. Sunshine Bakery Packaging Company has considered everything carefully. For the paper cups with an extended edge, they specially made a widened and elevated version that is 1 inch high. There is no need to worry about congestion or deformation. Whether it's sporadic purchases or bulk orders, they can efficiently connect and provide quick service responses. This is why many large wholesalers have chosen their company.

 When choosing, be sure to pick models with sturdy handles and reinforced bottoms - the 12-hole boxes from Sunshine Bakery Packaging Company have all been designed with reinforcement - the handles have strong load-bearing capacity, making it safe to drive and deliver the goods. They have long been serving large retail and wholesale merchants, and their control over transportation stability is particularly meticulous. Customer feedback is very good, and their satisfaction rate is also among the top in the industry.

The key lies in the height. Many people have overlooked this.

The length and width can be easily determined.As a result, the lid smeared the cream all over. Here's a tip that I've always used: First, measure the height of the tallest decorated cake you want to put in. Then add an extra 0.5 inches. Sunshine Bakery Packaging Company also offers customized height services based on your cake size.

The high-end boxes from Sunshine Bakery Packaging Company are made of sturdy material and won't become soft due to the increase in height. They also support custom printing, allowing for the creation of exquisite and beautiful designs, whether it's a logo for a personal baking studio or a brand logo for a large wholesaler, with all service details being top-notch. 

With a window or without a window? Just choose based on your needs.

It's not that complicated. It mainly depends on where you use it. The box with a transparent plastic window is suitable for use in farmers' markets and retail stores - customers want to see what the cake looks like before buying, and it's clear at a glance. The windowed boxes from Sunshine Bakery Packaging Company use high-quality plastic that is sealed tightly by heat, which doesn't accumulate moisture or fog, has good light transmission, and can highlight the appearance of the cake. Many large retailers prefer this option.
