How to choose the right packaging for pastries?

The simple yet challenging answer is to start with your product. By considering the size, shape, and consistency of the pastries, along with the user-friendliness and aesthetics of the packaging, you can find the best-suited packaging for your baked goods. Below are some additional aspects to keep in mind:

• How long will the product be stored in the packaging?
• Are there any ingredients in the product that might affect the packaging?
• How should the packaging be opened and closed, both during the packaging process and when the product is used?
• What function does the packaging serve?
• Can the packaging help you justify a higher price for your product?
• Can the packaging help create a unique impression of your product?

Weboksi's pastry packaging offers sustainable solutions, with options either being barrier-coated on the inside or featuring a thin plastic coating. All the cardboard used is biodegradable and recyclable, providing numerous environmentally friendly choices.

Bakery products can be packed in various ways, depending on the product's appearance and the specific requirements for its durability, preservation, and transportation. The most traditional method of packaging bakery products is using the classic pastry cardboard box.

Currently, Weboksi offers seven different sizes of the classic pastry packaging, consisting of a base and a lid. Each size is available in both white and brown cardboard, and there is an option for custom logo printing. To learn more about our logo application process and how materials are suitable for printing, you can refer to our logo application tutorial.

In addition to the classic pastry boxes, we also provide a wide range of printed packaging, foldable packages, and packages tailored for pies and cookies. The materials, quality, and user-friendliness of these packaging options have been thoroughly tested for each product.

The classic pastry packaging options are as follows:

• Pastry Packaging 00
• Pastry Packaging 01
• Pastry Packaging 02
• Pastry Packaging 03
• Pastry Packaging 04
• Pastry Packaging 06
• Unique Pastry Packaging
• Unique Pastry Packaging 80

All pastry cardboard boxes have a base that can be used to showcase the delicacies or serve as the foundation if you wish to combine an unprinted base with a more colorful lid.

The pastry packaging options 04 and 06 are examples of standardized and highly popular packaging solutions. Packaging 04 and 06 are designed to hold multiple buns, pastries, or sandwiches. Packaging 04 has dimensions of 225x195x60mm, while packaging 06 measures 275x275x60mm. Smaller sizes, like packaging 00 with dimensions of 105x95x60mm or packaging 01 with dimensions of 145x115x60mm, are intended for single pastries or a few cookies.

Within Weboksi's range, there are also a couple of pastry boxes with special sizes. The Unique pastry packaging 80 stands out with its elongated design and 80mm height, making it suitable for taller pastries or a delightful Swiss roll.

Most bakery packaging is folded by hand in various ways, usually allowing the product to be inserted from the side of the packaging. Some are quick and easy to fold, while larger packages may take more time.

When dealing with large quantities of pastries to be packed, it's essential to consider the folding process and how efficiently the packaging can be assembled. For instance, Bakery box is a model that requires no folding at all; it is stackable, and only the lid needs to be secured. This option is highly efficient, well-liked, and time-saving. Additionally, packed boxes can be stacked on top of each other without damaging the contents.

However, pastry boxes with two parts, a base and a lid, are folded together to create a cohesive package. They come in two pieces that are both folded into the same shape and then assembled.
