Why it matters

The box is the treat's first impression.

Donut boxes get opened at offices, parties and on social media.

🛡️

Protects toppings

A box with enough height keeps glazes and toppings off the lid.

💸

Gets shared

A branded box at the office or a party advertises your shop.

🎁

Sells bigger orders

A good dozen box makes it easy to order for a group.

What to look for

What donut packaging must do.

Donut packaging has to protect toppings and carry well.

✓

Enough height

Leave room above toppings so the lid doesn't touch them.

✓

A flat, sturdy base

Boxes should stay flat when carried with a full dozen.

✓

Grease resistance

Line boxes with tissue so glazes and oils don't mark the box.

✓

Easy to assemble

Fast-folding boxes keep the queue moving on busy mornings.

✓

Branding

Printed boxes and stickers make your shop recognisable.

Buying guide

Tips from packaging experts.

Practical advice for donut shops.

Check the height

Measure your tallest topped donut and make sure the box has room above it.

Line every box

A sheet of food tissue keeps the box clean and the donuts looking fresh.

Brand the dozen box

The dozen box is the one that gets shared at work and parties. Make it count.

Pre-fold for rush hour

Fold a stack of boxes before opening so the morning queue moves faster.
