Build specification
Behind every Packlic box is one of six carefully sourced substrates: Kraft Board, Corrugated Board, Coated Art Board (C1S), Rigid Greyboard, Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS), and Metallic Board. The lineup covers everything a brand might need — recyclable kraft for artisan and sustainability-led ranges, thick greyboard for luxury rigid boxes, and clean virgin-fibre SBS for cosmetics, pharma, and premium retail. Whether the goal is a budget-friendly corrugated mailer or the confident heft of a magnetic-closure rigid box, we specify FSC-certified stock built to perform on the shelf, in transit, and when the customer lifts the lid.
A considered finish is the difference between packaging that is seen and packaging that sticks in memory. Our menu runs from soft-touch matte and high-gloss lamination to silk lamination, spot UV, gold and silver foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and aqueous coating. Spot UV adds a gloss-on-matte contrast that guides attention to your logo, and soft-touch lamination gives rigid boxes a velvety feel that reads as quality on contact. Foil stamped onto SBS or coated art paper lands the crisp metallic detail luxury cosmetic, fragrance, and gifting brands use to justify premium prices and fuel share-worthy unboxings.
The feel of your packaging and its durability in transit both trace back to paper weight, which we offer from lightweight 8pt up to heavyweight 28pt on the point system US and UK packaging suppliers use. Lightweight 8pt–12pt is well suited to folding cartons and high-volume retail boxes. Mid-range 14pt–18pt is the workhorse of retail packaging, balancing protection against economical shipping. Heavyweight 20pt–28pt supplies the rigid, substantial character essential to luxury gift boxes, rigid set-up boxes, and premium cosmetic packaging, where the weight of the box communicates quality the instant it is picked up.
Custom Donut Boxes for Bakery and Cafe Programs
Custom donut boxes serve a competitive bakery food service packaging category where donut shop operations, bakery retail programs, cafe distribution, and craft donut brand programs all rely on packaging engineered for the specific round dimensions and glaze-resistant protection requirements of donut products. The donut box category spans the entire donut market from high-volume chain donut shop distribution at Dunkin and Krispy Kreme scale through artisan craft donut shops where boutique operations compete on specialty glaze flavors, artisan toppings, and premium brand storytelling at higher retail price points commanding $5 to $8 premium craft donut pricing.
Grease-Resistant Donut Construction
Construction quality defines donut box performance significantly because donut glaze and oil migration through inadequate packaging compromises both box appearance and product presentation across food service distribution cycles. Our donut boxes use premium food-grade kraft paperboard or white SBS with grease-resistant interior coating preventing donut glaze and frying oil migration through box walls. Reinforced bottom panels support donut collection weight loads. Box sizing accommodates standard donut diameters from 3.5 to 5 inches. Vented construction allows slight moisture release from fresh glazed donuts preventing condensation buildup inside closed donut boxes.

- Prevents donut glaze and oil migration
- 3.5 to 5 inch donut diameter accommodation
- Vented construction prevents condensation
Donut Box Size and Configuration
Size selection drives custom configuration across diverse donut box applications. Single donut retail formats support individual donut impulse purchase programs at cafe counter and bakery programs. Half-dozen 6-count donut boxes serve small group and family donut programs in two-row arrangements. Full dozen 12-count boxes accommodate standard donut wholesale and retail programs. Specialty donut tower configurations support display programs. Mini donut multi-pack programs accommodate bite-size donut variety programs requiring custom smaller cavity configurations different from standard full-size donut box programs.

- Half-dozen 6-count in two-row layout
- Full dozen 12-count wholesale formats
- Mini donut multi-pack configurations
Window Display for Artisan Donut Visibility
Window panels drive significant conversion for craft donut boxes because customers strongly value previewing donut glaze color, specialty topping artistry, and decoration quality before purchase at artisan donut shop programs. Clear window panels showcase specialty glaze colors, maple bacon and cereal topping artistry, and custom decoration through the box top driving impulse purchase at premium craft donut shops. The window view supports premium donut pricing for craft donut brands competing on visible decoration artistry and specialty glaze quality commanding $4 to $8 premium craft donut pricing at specialty retail.
- Clear windows showcase specialty glaze colors
- Previews topping artistry and decoration
- Drives premium craft donut purchase decisions
- Supports $4-8 premium donut pricing
Craft Donut Brand Positioning
Branding on donut boxes drives recognition across donut shop programs where craft brand storytelling supports premium donut pricing over commodity competition. The exterior surface accepts vibrant CMYK offset printing for donut photography, specialty flavor imagery, and brand storytelling connecting customers to craft donut positioning. Premium white SBS construction with vibrant color printing delivers breakthrough visual identity at specialty donut shop programs. Kraft construction maintains authentic artisan positioning for independent craft donut operations. Many craft donut brands use bold graphic design on donut boxes generating Instagram-worthy unboxing content.
