Key Features
Custom Cake Boxes — Premium Presentation for Every Tier, Every Occasion
Cake boxes carry the dual responsibility of protecting a fragile, valuable creation during transport and presenting it beautifully upon arrival. Branded Boxes produces custom cake boxes for bakeries, cake studios, and food service brands with the structural engineering to keep cakes safe and the printing quality to showcase your brand on every delivery.
Our cake boxes are produced on food-safe SBS or grease-resistant corrugated board in custom height configurations to accommodate single-layer, two-layer, and multi-tier cake designs. Internal corner supports and base inserts prevent shifting during transport. Window options allow recipients to preview the cake without opening the box.
Engineering Cake Box Height for Decorated Cakes
The height of a cake box is critical — it must clear the tallest decorative element on the cake without touching it. A box too short will smear fondant or crush buttercream. We produce cake boxes in custom heights specified by the baker, with standard options from 4-inch (sheet cakes) to 16-inch (tall tiered cakes). We recommend adding at least 2 inches above the tallest cake element for comfortable clearance during transport.
Custom Cake Box Branding for Bakery Identity
For bakeries and cake studios, the delivery box is the last brand impression before the cake is revealed — and it sets expectations for what's inside. A professionally printed cake box with your bakery's name, logo, social media handles, and signature design elements communicates professionalism and quality that a plain white box cannot. We help bakeries develop box designs that match their brand aesthetic and create a complete brand experience for cake recipients.
Custom Packaging for California's Diverse Economy
California's economy is the largest in the US — larger than most countries — and encompasses technology, entertainment, agriculture, fashion, cannabis, and one of the world's largest e-commerce markets. Branded Boxes produces premium custom packaging for California brands competing at the highest levels of quality in every category.
Los Angeles Packaging for Entertainment and Fashion
Los Angeles is the center of US entertainment, fashion, and luxury consumer brands — industries where packaging quality directly communicates brand value. Soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, and premium rigid boxes for LA brands are our specialty. Same-brand consistency across product lines is a core capability for LA's multi-SKU fashion and beauty brands.
Bay Area Technology Packaging
Silicon Valley and the broader Bay Area are home to the world's most valuable technology companies and a dense ecosystem of startups. Technology product packaging for Bay Area brands must communicate premium quality consistent with the product's innovation positioning. Premium unboxing experiences, precision foam inserts, and anti-static materials for electronics are available.
California Cannabis Compliance Packaging
California's legal cannabis market requires child-resistant packaging, state-mandated warning statements, and opaque packaging meeting California DCC requirements. We produce compliant cannabis packaging with premium brand finishes for California's most competitive dispensary market.

Cake Boxes in California — FAQs
What cake sizes are standard box dimensions?
Standard cake box sizes include 6x6, 8x8, 10x10, and 12x12-inch square formats. Round cake boxes are available in 6, 8, 10, and 12-inch diameters. Custom sizes and rectangular formats are available for specialty cake dimensions.
Can cake boxes include window panels?
Yes. Window cutouts with clear PET film allow recipients to see the cake through the box. This is particularly popular for decorated celebration cakes where the cake design is a key part of the gift experience.
Do cake boxes need grease resistance?
Cakes with buttercream or oil-based icings can transfer grease to the box interior. We provide grease-resistant coatings on the interior surfaces of cake boxes where direct cream-to-cardboard contact is possible.
Can cake boxes be produced with internal corner supports?
Yes. Corner support cards or scored fold-up panels at each interior corner prevent the cake from shifting during transport by providing lateral resistance.

Custom cake boxes start at 100 units. Standard 8x8 and 10x10 sizes are available from existing die tooling with shorter lead times.
