These are proper cupcake boxes with inserts, made from strong recyclable kraft and card — not the flimsy stuff. You can have them plain or printed up with your own bakery logo. We do a mix of sizes, with or without window lids, so they’ll suit everything from café counter sales to wedding deliveries. A solid, eco-friendly bit of packaging that keeps every cupcake looking as good as it did when it left the oven.
If you’ve ever packed up a tray of cupcakes to take out, you know the sinking feeling when one’s toppled over or the icing’s gone squashed. It happens in a flash — a bumpy street, a sudden stop — and all that effort you put in? Messed about in seconds.
That’s why we started making proper cupcake boxes with inserts — not flimsy cartons, but solid boxes that actually keep each cake in its place. They were designed with real bakers in mind. Folks who get up before sunrise, juggling trays, mixers, and deliveries, not just fancy packaging photos.
Doesn’t matter if you’re baking for a café up in Leeds, sorting a wedding delivery down in Surrey, or just selling half dozens from your own kitchen — these boxes hold up. They keep everything steady, nothing sliding about, and the cupcakes look just as tidy when they land as they did when you packed them.
Every baker’s had that moment: you open a box after a delivery, and everything’s shifted. It’s frustrating. That’s where cupcake packaging with divider comes into its own. The built-in inserts hold each cupcake firmly in place so there’s no sliding, no mess, and no disappointment when your customer lifts the lid.
We use kraft or sturdy cardboard cupcake inserts — strong enough to handle transport, yet made from materials that are kind to the planet. No plastic clips or fiddly trays. Just solid, dependable design.
If you’re putting your cupcakes out on a counter or a market stall, the window box with an insert is brilliant. People can actually see what they’re getting, and honestly, it makes a big difference — they’re more likely to grab one when they can have a proper look.
The truth is, people notice the box before they notice the bake. You can spend hours on a perfect swirl of buttercream, but if it’s handed over in a flimsy container, it loses that bit of magic. That’s why I’ve always said good packaging should pull its weight — it’s not decoration, it’s part of the experience.
Our kraft cupcake boxes with inserts aren’t flashy or fussy; they just do the job properly. They look smart on the counter but still have that handmade feel bakers love.
A café I worked with down in Brighton swapped their old plastic trays for proper printed boxes. Nothing fancy — just a clean kraft finish with their logo. Within a week, customers were taking photos of the boxes, not just the cakes. That’s when you know the packaging’s working for you.
The inserts keep each cupcake standing firm, no sliding or leaning, even when you’re loading them into delivery bags. And the box itself — sturdy enough to stack without worrying about squashing the icing. It’s the small bits of design like that which save you on those hectic mornings when the orders just don’t stop coming in.
If you want your packaging to match your brand, we can print your logo, pattern, or even a little message inside the lid. That’s where our custom cupcake boxes with inserts come in.
A lot of the smaller bakeries I work with round the UK use these boxes to get that nice boutique feel without spending silly money. A printed logo, a kraft finish, maybe a touch of colour — that’s often all it takes to make your cupcakes look like they’ve come straight out of a high-end shop window.
If you’re more into that natural, unbranded style, the plain kraft bakery boxes with inserts have their own charm. Nothing over the top — just clean, neat, and easy for your customers to pop in the recycling once they’re done.
We also do individual cupcake boxes with inserts, which go down really well for weddings and party favours. One of my regular clients, a planner up in Nottingham, swears by them. Says they save her a lot of stress on event days — they look smart, travel well, and don’t cost the earth.
These days, most UK customers notice what kind of packaging you use. They care about waste, recyclability, and whether their favourite brands are trying to do better. Switching to eco friendly cupcake packaging UK isn’t just about ticking a green box — it’s about staying in step with your audience.
All our boxes are made using recyclable materials, right here in the UK. It’s reliable, sustainable bakery packaging, without compromising on strength or presentation. A baker from Liverpool told us recently, “Our customers love that we’re using recyclable cupcake boxes — it’s become part of our story.” And that’s what it’s really about — a good product backed by honest values.
We supply everything from gift cupcake boxes with inserts for high-end presentation to takeaway cupcake containers for everyday retail use. Each box is designed to make life a bit easier — and your packaging a lot better.
