A cupcake box is a folding carton, usually with a fitted insert holding individual cupcake cases upright, built to stop the cakes moving, tipping, or touching the lid during transit. Because frosting is easily damaged, the insert is often the most important part of the design.

Why the Insert Matters More Than the Print

A cupcake box can look perfect on the outside and still fail if the cakes inside arrive squashed or smeared. A well-fitted insert, sized to the cupcake case diameter, holds each cake upright and separated, which protects both the sponge and the decoration on top.

Styles We Make

We build cupcake boxes with windows to show off decorated tops, in sizes holding anywhere from a single cupcake to a full dozen. A carry handle is a popular addition for larger multi-cupcake boxes.

Materials

Food-contact-safe folding carton board is standard, with a die-cut card insert holding each cupcake case securely.

Order Sizes We Support

Custom cupcake boxes are available from around 50 to 100 units, suiting home bakers and small bakeries building a branded range.

Average Cupcake Box Prices

As a general guide, cupcake boxes typically cost between £0.30 and £1.00 per unit, depending on size, number of cupcakes held, material and finish.

Sustainability

Recyclable folding carton board and card inserts are used as standard, avoiding the plastic clamshells common in supermarket cupcake packaging.
