Our pie boxes aren’t just cartons — they’re the difference between a pie arriving neat or ending up messy. Built sturdy, food-safe, and sized to fit from minis to 10-inch classics, they work for UK bakeries, cafés, and caterers. Go plain, printed, or with windows. Bulk orders, one-offs, or custom runs — we make it happen.
Imagine this: a customer takes home one of your pies, pops open the box, and the smell of warm pastry drifts out. They pause, smile, maybe even snap a photo. That reaction isn’t only about the recipe — the box plays its part too. Get it right, and your pies arrive looking sharp, not squashed. I’ve seen both sides of it over the years — the pride when a bakery’s logo shines on a smart custom pie box, and the frustration when a beautiful bake is ruined by flimsy packaging. Honestly, the box sets the stage before the first bite even happens.
I’ve seen it happen a hundred times. A small café spends hours baking gorgeous lemon meringue pies, only to watch them collapse in weak cardboard on the way home. Customers feel let down. And worse? They don’t come back.
That’s why cardboard pie boxes built for the job matter. Strong walls, food-safe materials, the right pie box dimensions — whether that’s 9 inch pie boxes, 10 inch pie boxes, or even quirky 5 inch pie boxes for minis. This isn’t just packaging. It’s insurance for your reputation.
Think about the last time you saw pie boxes with windows lined up on a bakery shelf. That little cut-out shows off golden crusts and glossy fillings. It sells the pie before a word is spoken. That’s why we offer window pie boxes wholesale in the UK.
Got smaller portions? Mini pie boxes with window or individual pie boxes turn bite-sized bakes into perfect takeaways. Need something seasonal? Christmas pie boxes add instant festive charm. And yes, we even make jazzy pink pie boxes if your brand loves colour.
Packaging isn’t just a cost. It’s a brand amplifier. Think of it this way: a plain pie tastes good, but a pie in a beautifully branded box… that feels like a gift. Customers snap photos. They tag your bakery online. And suddenly, your humble pie packaging boxes are doing the marketing for you.
For wholesale buyers, it’s about trust. Caterers and cafés who see neat, sturdy cartons feel confident stocking your pies. That’s where custom pie boxes wholesale and mini pie boxes wholesale come in — consistency across every order.
Want inspiration? We’ll share pie packaging ideas we’ve seen work wonders — from decorative pie boxes with foil accents to clever mini pie packaging for farmer’s markets. Need durability for shipping? Our wholesale bakery boxes UK range includes reinforced flaps. Looking to stay green? Our recyclable pie boxes UK line ticks sustainability boxes without losing charm.
Look, I’ve worked with small bakeries in Manchester juggling weekend markets, and I’ve sat down with London cafés supplying hundreds of pies a week. Everyone has the same core need: packaging that protects, sells, and feels aligned with their brand.
That’s what we build here at Hi Custom Boxes. Not just containers. But packaging that lifts your pies — and your business — to the next level.
So, whether you’re after small pie boxes, bulk pie boxes, or a run of personalised pie boxes for your bakery’s big launch, you’re in the right place. Get a free quote today, and let’s create something your customers will remember.

We ordered these pie boxes for our bakery in Yorkshire, and they’ve been fantastic. Not only do they keep the pies fresh and intact, but they also look really smart, perfect for customers who order for events or gifts. The material feels strong, folds easily, and the window adds a lovely touch. We’ve had great feedback from our customers too. Fast delivery and great value for money. Will definitely be ordering again.
