Kraft Paper Gift Boxes: What to Use for Food Gifting

Packery does not stock kraft paper gift boxes. For food gifts such as cakes, biscuits, slices and grazing platters, cafés and caterers use our kraft cake boxes, kraft board snack boxes and kraft catering tray lids with a clear window, all sold by the carton.

Key takeaways

• There are no dedicated gift boxes in the Packery range, so this guide covers the kraft food packaging that does the same job.
• For cakes and boxed treats, the kraft cake boxes come in a large and a small size, both in brown cardboard.
• For grab-and-go snack gifts, the kraft board snack boxes are brown cardboard boxes in a large and a regular size.
• For corporate platters, the kraft catering tray lids have a PET window so the food stays visible.
• Logo printing is available on selected products only, including the cake and snack boxes in this guide but not the tray lids. Ask for a quote through custom print before you plan branded gifting.

Does Packery sell kraft paper gift boxes?

No. Packery supplies disposable food-service packaging by the carton, and there is no retail-style gift box with ribbon slots, magnetic closures or tissue inserts in the range. What we do stock is kraft food packaging that works well for edible gifts at Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day, end-of-year client hampers and corporate catering.

If your gift is food, a box built for food is usually the more practical choice anyway. It is sized for cakes, pastries and snacks, and it sits alongside the rest of your takeaway stock. You can see the full range on the takeaway containers page.

Which kraft boxes work for cake and treat gifts?

The kraft cake boxes are the closest thing to a gift box in our range. The Kraft Takeaway Container – Cake Box Large (Carton of 200) measures 155x155x102mm and is made from brown cardboard, which suits a single small cake, a stack of cookies or a selection of slices.

For smaller gifts, the Kraft Takeaway Container – Cake Box Small (Carton of 400) measures 110x95x89mm. It is a good size for a single cupcake, a brownie, a few macarons or a slice of tart handed over at the counter. Both boxes are brown cardboard, so they pair with twine, a sticker or a hand-written tag if you want a seasonal finish without changing your packaging.

What about snack boxes for staff and client gifting?

Kraft board snack boxes work well for boxed treats at office events, staff thank-yous and client drop-offs. The Kraft Takeaway Container – Snack Box Large Board (Carton of 250) measures 205x106x76mm, giving room for a mix of pastries, a wrap and a sweet, or a handful of individually wrapped biscuits.

The Kraft Takeaway Container – Snack Box Regular Board (Carton of 400) measures 176x91x85mm. It suits a smaller treat pack, such as a muffin and a cookie, or a portion of rocky road. Both are brown cardboard, so they look consistent next to the cake boxes if you are putting together a seasonal display.

Can catering trays with window lids be used for corporate gifts?

Yes, for platters that need to be seen before they are opened. The kraft catering tray lids are brown cardboard with a clear PET window, so a grazing board, sandwich platter or dessert selection is visible through the top. Note that these listings are the lids; check the product page for the matching tray before ordering.

• The Kraft Plate – Rectangle Catering Tray Lid Large w Window (Carton of 100) measures 583x275x30mm, for large boardroom platters.
• The Kraft Plate – Rectangle Catering Tray Lid Medium w Window (Carton of 100) measures 382x275x30mm, for a mid-sized team platter.
• The Kraft Plate – Rectangle Catering Tray Lid Small Window (Carton of 100) measures 280x180x30mm, for a small gift platter or a single client drop-off.

The window is what makes these feel like a gift. The client sees what they are getting the moment the box arrives, and the brown and clear finish looks tidy on a reception desk.

How do the kraft gifting options compare?

Every price below is the listed carton price and price per item.

If you are comparing cost across a larger order, our guide to takeaway containers in bulk explains how carton buying works, and small takeaway containers covers compact sizes for portioned treats.

Can I get my logo printed on these boxes?

Custom printing with your logo is available on selected products only. In this guide, the two kraft cake boxes and the two kraft board snack boxes are on the printable list. The kraft catering tray lids with a window are not, so plan to brand those with a sticker or tag instead. Print terms are confirmed by quote, so do not plan a branded gifting run until you have one.

Send your item, artwork idea and timing through the custom print page or contact us, and we will tell you what is possible. In the meantime, a printed sticker, stamp or tag on plain brown kraft is a simple way to brand a seasonal batch.

Which one should I buy?

Match the box to the gift and the venue:

• Bakery or café selling cakes at Christmas or Mother's Day: the Kraft Takeaway Container – Cake Box Large (Carton of 200) for whole small cakes and treat selections.
• Café counter gifts and single treats: the Kraft Takeaway Container – Cake Box Small (Carton of 400) for cupcakes, brownies and slices.
• Caterer doing staff thank-you packs: the Kraft Takeaway Container – Snack Box Large Board (Carton of 250) for mixed treat boxes, or the regular board snack box for a smaller pack.
• Corporate caterer sending client platters: the Kraft Plate – Rectangle Catering Tray Lid Large w Window (Carton of 100) for boardroom spreads, or the medium and small window lids for smaller teams and single drop-offs.
• Food truck or market stall doing seasonal specials: the regular board snack box keeps a sweet treat portion neat and easy to hand over.
