Custom Lamington Boxes

Our custom lamington boxes are made to order for bakeries, patisseries, home bakers and café kitchens across Australia. Whether you pack lamington drives, school fundraisers or bakery counters, we build the box around the food, then print it with your brand so every order carries your name out the door.

Built for the classic fundraiser drive, with trays sized for coconut-coated sponge squares. 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 lamington boxes are used for

• Lamington drives: repeat customers notice when the packaging looks consistent every time.
• School fundraisers: the food often travels further than you'd expect, so strength counts.
• Bakery counters: a box that photographs well brings free exposure on social media.
• Morning teas: the box has to hold its shape from the counter to the customer's table.

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.

• 6-pack window tray: A window shows the product and lets it sell itself on the counter or shelf.
• 12-pack tray and lid: A lifting lid gives easy access and keeps the top of the food clear.
• Single sleeve: An open-ended printed band slides over a tray or container, branding it for less than a full box.

Sizes

These sizes suit most orders for lamington 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 lamington 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 lamington 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 lamington boxes recycle more easily. We can add the Australasian Recycling Label to your artwork, and certified compostable options are available for some styles.
