Custom Donut Boxes for Fresh, Eye-Catching Bakery Packaging

Packaging Lane supplies custom donut boxes that keep your baked goods fresh for longer. Each box uses durable paperboard and tight, food-safe closures, helping preserve donut moisture and appearance. Offer boxes in a range of standard sizes for a single donut up to dozen packs. Crisp, full-color exterior printing helps reinforce your bakery brand with every sale or catering order.

Materials & Build Quality

Packaging Lane offers box options in white, kraft, and food-safe coated boards. Choose the material that suits your needs, whether you prioritize brand presentation, recycling, or safe food handling. Each box has grease and moisture barriers. This guards donuts from sogginess during customer handling and keeps the surfaces dry in transit. Box sides and flaps are reinforced for strength. The sturdy boards help prevent dents or crush damage in transport.

Box Material Options

Choose paperboard thickness from 14pt to 24pt. Thicker boards hold larger donut orders safely, while thinner options reduce shipping weight. All materials are certified food-grade, so your items meet regulatory standards. This provides assurance for food use and supports compliance in commercial settings. Pick Kraft stock for a natural, rustic look or white stock for vivid prints on your custom donut boxes.

Grease & Moisture Resistance

Standard liners in every box help guard against oil and water migration, so donuts arrive without stains or soggy spots. This keeps the product clean and the box intact, protecting appearance and shelf appeal. Optional food-safe coatings provide added moisture defense for items with higher grease content. This option suits bakers needing extra protection for filled, frosted, or fresh donuts.

Box Construction Details

Locking tabs snap into place and keep your products secure while in transit. Strong closure means fewer lost items and better presentation at arrival. Choose window cutouts to let customers view contents without opening the box. This feature is proven to drive up impulse buys and build trust for food items. One-piece builds offer fast assembly, while multi-piece options suit custom donut boxes needing extra rigidity.

Print & Finishes

Choose from CMYK or Pantone printing for clear, lively colors that match your brand. Both options support fine lines and logos, so even small details on your packaging stay sharp. Select matte or gloss finishes to match the look you want. Matte keeps a soft texture, while gloss adds shine and resists fingerprints for a cleaner appearance. Personalize inside and outside panels to add information or design where it matters.

Printing Methods

Choose between digital and offset printing. For orders under 100 custom donut boxes, digital gives fast setup and sharp detail. Offset suits large runs and repeats color with higher precision. Color matching matters when branding is strict. Offset allows Pantone matching for exact hues; digital handles CMYK blends well but may show slight shifts between batches. Upload files in PDF, AI, or EPS format for best clarity and print accuracy.

Finish Options

Choose from gloss, matte, or soft-touch finishes. Gloss adds shine, matte reduces glare, and soft-touch feels silky. Each finish protects prints from scratches during shipment. Select foil stamping for bold metallic branding, or add a window film effect to spotlight your product. Both options create a strong shelf impact and work with boxes sized from 4x4x2 inches to 10x10x4 inches.

Branding Tips

Place your logo on the box lid for easy spotting. A centered logo stands out best, especially on boxes from 4×4 to 10×10 inches. Consistent placement keeps your brand visible in stores and at events. Boost visual appeal with simple, bold designs and keep artwork within a half-inch from the edges. Matte or gloss finishes sharpen colors so printed logos pop. High-contrast fields, like black on white, make logos sharper and easier to read from a distance.

Sizing & Fit

Packaging Lane offers box sizes for 2, 4, 6, and 12 donuts, helping you match each order with the right fit. This means your donuts arrive fresh and secure, with no wasted space or extra cost. Choose boxes by donut count to reduce movement and prevent smudging. For a custom fit, measure your donuts’ diameter and height; select a box allowing at least 0.5 inches of clearance each way.

Standard Size Guide

• Choose from four box sizes: 1, 2, 4, 6, or 12-pack. Each holds standard donuts securely, so your treats arrive fresh and undamaged.
• Smaller boxes fit individual or duo servings for grab-and-go orders. Larger packs work for family boxes or sharing at gatherings, no wasted space.

Custom Dimensions

• Packaging Lane lets you order boxes for both large and mini donuts, ranging from 2-inch minis to full 5-inch donuts. Each size keeps contents snug for safer shipping and neater display.
• For non-standard donut shapes or bulk orders, share your specs with the team. Manufacturing can adjust length, width, and height in quarter-inch increments for precise fit.

Sizing Tips

• Measure your donuts with all toppings to find the true height and diameter. Use a ruler and round up to the nearest quarter-inch for a snug, gap-free fit.
• Order boxes with inserts that match your donut size. Inserts stop side movement, which keeps toppings in place during shipping. This keeps the presentation sharp on arrival.
