A pie box is a food-safe carton built with a sturdy base and enough internal height to hold a pie without the lid pressing down on the filling or pastry top. Both sweet and savoury pies need this structural support, since a collapsed or crushed pie is one of the most common bakery delivery complaints.
Why Structural Strength Matters
Pies are heavier and often more liquid-filled than most bakery items, which means the box base needs real strength, not just the lightweight card used for simpler bakes. We build pie boxes with this weight in mind, so the base does not sag or buckle in transit.
Styles We Make
We build round and square pie boxes sized to standard or bespoke pie dimensions, often with a window to show off pastry lattice or decoration. Corrugated board can be used for particularly heavy or multi-pie boxes.
Materials
Food-contact-safe folding carton board is standard for lighter pies, with corrugated board available for heavier or multi-pie packaging needing extra base strength.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom pie boxes are available from around 50 to 100 units, suiting bakeries and pie shops building a branded takeaway range.
Average Pie Box Prices
As a general guide, pie boxes typically cost between £0.30 and £1.10 per unit, depending on size, board weight, material and finish.
Sustainability
Recyclable folding carton and corrugated board are both used as standard, keeping pie packaging easy to dispose of responsibly.
