Custom Cookie Boxes

Custom cookie boxes give bakeries, patisseries, home bakers and café kitchens a way to package gift cookies and cookie samplers that looks professional, protects the product and fits the way your kitchen actually works.

Shallow trays with glassine liners keep cookies flat, crisp and free of grease marks. Every box is made from food-grade board, cut to your dimensions and printed in full colour, spot colours or a simple one-colour logo, with orders from 100 units and delivery to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide and regional areas.

What our cookie boxes are used for

• Gift cookies: the box has to hold its shape from the counter to the customer's table.
• Cookie samplers: presentation matters as much as protection, so the print needs to be sharp.
• Corporate gifting: staff need a box that folds up fast when orders stack up.
• Subscription treats: repeat customers notice when the packaging looks consistent every time.

Box styles

Choose the structure that suits the food and how your team packs it. We can also combine features or copy a box you already use.

• Sleeve and tray: An open-ended printed band slides over a tray or container, branding it for less than a full box.
• Window tuck box: A window shows the product and lets it sell itself on the counter or shelf.
• Magnetic rigid box: A rigid box with a hidden magnetic flap closure gives a premium, reusable feel for gifts.

Sizes

These sizes suit most orders for cookie boxes. Every box can be made to your exact inside dimensions.

Materials and board

We match the board to the weight of the food and how far it travels. The main thing to plan for with cookie boxes is grease from butter-rich bakes and condensation from warm products.

• SBS paperboard: Solid bleached sulphate board gives a bright white surface for sharp, full-colour print. It is the usual choice for retail cartons and bakery boxes, and is commonly specified between 300 and 400 gsm depending on the weight of the food.
• Kraft paperboard: Unbleached kraft has a natural brown finish that suits rustic, organic and eco-minded brands. It prints best with bold one- or two-colour artwork, because the brown base shifts lighter colours.
• Board with a display window: A die-cut window, either open or covered with clear film, lets customers see the product. A film-free cut-out keeps the box a single material, which helps recycling.

Food safety

All cookie boxes are made from food-grade board. Where food touches the box directly, we recommend a barrier coating or liner, and print is kept on the outside. Our guide to food-safe packaging in Australia explains what the Food Standards Code expects from packaging.

Let warm bakes cool for a few minutes before closing the lid, so steam doesn't soften icing or pastry.

Printing and finishes

Print your logo in one colour, match exact brand colours with Pantone, or go full colour with CMYK. Finishes include matte and gloss coatings, spot UV, foil, embossing and windows. Not sure which to choose? Read CMYK vs Pantone for food packaging and our guide to coatings and finishes.

Sustainable options

Kraft and recycled-content board, film-free windows and water-based coatings all help your cookie boxes recycle more easily. We can add the Australasian Recycling Label to your artwork, and certified compostable options are available for some styles.
