A donut box is a food-safe carton, usually with a grease-resistant coating or lining, built to hold anywhere from one donut to a full dozen without the box turning soft or transparent from icing and oil. Sizing and structure both matter here, since a donut needs room to sit without touching the lid.
Why Grease Resistance Matters
Standard uncoated card struggles against a fresh, glazed donut, softening or staining quickly. A grease-resistant lining or coating keeps the box structurally sound and looking clean, which matters both for how the product presents and for keeping the box functional until the donuts are eaten.
Styles We Make
We build single-donut boxes with a window to show the glaze or topping, and larger multi-donut boxes with a carry handle for dozens sold to-go. A kraft option suits an artisan or independent bakery look.
Materials
Food-contact-safe board with a grease-resistant coating is standard. Coated white board gives bright print for bold branding; kraft board suits a more natural bakery feel.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom donut boxes are available from around 50 to 100 units, suiting independent bakeries and donut shops building their own branded range.
Average Donut Box Prices
As a general guide, donut boxes typically cost between £0.25 and £0.90 per unit, depending on size, capacity, material and finish.
Sustainability
Recyclable, grease-resistant board options avoid the plastic-lined boxes common in some bakery packaging, keeping the box easier to recycle after use.
