Foldable custom lid and base cake carton wk050

Structure

This two-piece folding carton consists of a separate base and lid, both formed from flat blanks with tuck-end sides for secure, glue-free closure. Engineered specifically for cake products such as layered cakes, cheesecakes, cupcakes, or small celebration tiers, the rectangular or square form provides stable, spacious containment that protects delicate frosting and decorations from shifting or smudging while allowing easy placement and removal for retail display, bakery pickup, or gifting.

Surface & Visual Design

The carton combines 300g white cardstock for the base and 300g silver cardstock for the lid, printed in full four-color CMYK both inside and outside to achieve rich brown tones and subtle gradients that evoke chocolate, caramel, or warm baked goods. The silver cardstock lid serves as the dominant visual element with its inherent metallic sheen, accented by selective embossing and debossing on logos, brand names, or decorative patterns to create raised and recessed textures that enhance depth and luxury. The overall appearance balances elegant silver with warm brown printing, resulting in a sophisticated, appetizing contrast suitable for premium cakes.

Materials & Construction

The base uses 300g white cardstock for excellent print fidelity and structural support, while the lid employs 300g silver cardstock for luminous metallic effect and added rigidity. Both materials provide strong stiffness and precise foldability. Die-cutting and creasing are executed with high accuracy to produce sharp folds, clean tuck flaps, and smooth edges without cracking. Each piece is formed separately for one-piece construction, ensuring precise lid-to-base alignment and durability during transport and handling.

Insert & Protection

The base interior is dimensioned for a snug fit around standard cake boards or trays, with sufficient height clearance to avoid contact with frosting or decorations. A food-grade card insert or corrugated pad can be placed at the bottom for added cushioning and stability. The smooth four-color printed interior offers a clean, attractive backdrop while preventing grease transfer, keeping the cake pristine and well-supported throughout the supply chain.

Unboxing Experience

The lid lifts off smoothly, revealing the cake framed by the printed base interior. The shimmering silver lid with tactile embossed/debossed details contrasts beautifully with the warm brown tones inside, creating a luxurious, layered reveal. The metallic sheen combined with the rich printed browns and refined cardstock texture delivers an immediate sense of indulgence and craftsmanship, aligning perfectly with cake products’ emphasis on celebration, quality, and sensory delight.

Customization Options

Carton dimensions, lid height, base depth, tuck configurations, internal support design, and printing layouts can be adapted to various cake sizes, shapes, and styles. CMYK artwork, embossing/debossing patterns, silver cardstock exposure levels, brown tone variations, and lamination alternatives remain fully adjustable. This supports production of custom folding carton boxes, paperboard packaging, printed packaging boxes for brands, eco-friendly food & beverage packaging boxes, and luxury chocolate gift packaging boxes in similar bakery and gifting applications
