Kraft Bakery Boxes

What Kraft Bakery Boxes Are Actually Used For?

If you are running a bakery, a home baking business, or a pastry counter in a café and are already familiar with that dilemma. The wrong box collapses under the weight of a tall cake, allowing grease through the boxes that just look unprofessional. Kraft bakery packaging boxes make this problem go away in a functional yet appealing manner. You can get these boxes in more creative options, like pink bakery boxes.

They are used in all baking food categories, like:

• Cakes
• Cupcakes
• Muffins
• Cookies
• Macarons
• Donuts
• Pastries

With a window panel in the lid, customers are able to see the product inside without actually touching it. This feature makes it a perfect product for retail display. This works best as custom cookie boxes.

For on-the-go cafes and bakeries that provide take away orders, a carry handle incorporated in the box allows customers to walk out without having to carry multiple paper bags. For seasonal gift sets or multiple item orders, boxes with partitions inside prevent items from moving around or sticking together during transportation.

The refrigerator safe option that we offer will allow your boxes to go through a cold environment without warping or collapsing. This is helpful when you need to prepare orders in advance. Using locking corners for the assembled boxes gives strength to prevent collapse when a heavier cake is lifted.

Why Kraft Bakery Boxes Actually Benefit Your Business

The most visible advantage is presentation. A neat, well made Kraft paper bakery boxes in a natural brown color gives the impression of good quality. These days, many eco-aware customers will search out packaging that appears environmentally friendly, and Kraft material fills in that requirement.

It is Grease Proof

Moving forward, other than the appearance part, Kraft paperboard used in these custom bakery boxes is greaseproof, so butter-fueled baked goods like croissants or shortbread don't leave any oily or greasy marks on the outside.

This helps maintain the packaging when a customer picks them up at the bakery or even if it gets delivered at home.

Tear Resistance Quality

Tear resistance is another real benefit. Kraft material, which has longer cellulose fibers than thinner paperboard, is able to cope with the weight and friction of regular handling in a busy bakery environment much better than paperboard, which would buckle with an individual lift from the bottom.

Get It Custom Printed

From a business perspective, choosing Kraft bakery packaging helps you strengthen your brand and marketing efforts in a solid manner. Your printed box with your logo performs around the world with your customers at a café table, a birthday party, or an office.

This is the marketing reach you don't have to pay extra for. People usually get their custom bagel boxes printed to make their product look interesting to buy.

Printing Options and Cost Overview

Finishing Options Available

A few things that you have to keep in mind are:

• Offset printing produces the cleanest result for dark or detailed artwork, yet digital printers are generally more economical for smaller orders. For example, like custom donut boxes, people get them in lesser quantities, which makes digital printing an ideal option for them.
• Digital is generally good to start with for a first order or sample run.
• For larger quantities over 500, you can opt for offset printing.

Material Comparison: Kraft vs Other Packaging Materials

Related to Eco Friendliness: While a lot of paper companies use white chemically bleached paper, Kraft is different as it uses unbleached brown paper, which has no chemical bleaching, no extra additives and has a production loop that uses 20-40% less water than normally used in the production of corrugated cardboard.

Using a Kraft container instead of using the equivalent standard cardboard container creates approximately 35% less CO2 throughout its life cycle.

Kraft, when used free of plastics or additives, is 100% compostable and contributes to authentic carbon footprint reduction, rather than just using language to make a product sound greener than it actually is.

Standard Sizes Available

Any size you order is fully customizable. If your item does not conform to regular dimensions, such as a multi tier cake, tall macaron tower, or an oddly shaped pie, custom sizing can be done to any size without a minimum order restriction.

How Do We Create These Boxes

Material Extraction Process

Kraft bakery boxes are made from unbleached wood pulp, processed by the Kraft chemical process; a process of breaking down wood by the Kraft chemical process into cellulose fiber without the use of bleaching agents to produce white paperboard. This produces a natural brown, food safe, high fiber sheet.

The Cutting Procedure

Moving forward, the box board is cut and creased by die cut technology. Die cut uses intricately shaped cutting tools with clean edges that are able to produce accurate shapes, fold lines, and windows.

This is to make sure that every box comes together smoothly with locking corners. For grease resistant variants, a food safe PE or aqueous coating is applied to the interior face of the flat pack. Window cut outs are sealed with a clear PET film, which is sealed well to the die cut edge.

Fully assembled flat pack boxes are checked for dimension accuracy, print registration, and structural strength before being packed.

You Get To See A Sample Before The Final Product

A die-line is a flat tech layout of your box with all of your panels. These are done before a single box is made. Then, when the artwork is on the die-line, you can generate a 3D mock up so you see exactly how the printed Kraft bakery boxes will look when assembled, your logo sitting on the front, where the window lines up, and the colors on the Kraft.

You can hold the cardboard, test the fitting of the inserts and lid, and check the functionality of the box before committing to a full order. This is the most secure option for your first order, mainly if you have a more complex design or are ordering in large numbers.
