What Size Are Single Cupcake Boxes for Mini, Standard and Jumbo Cupcakes?
A box for one standard cupcake measures 82 by 82 by 100 mm inside with a 54 mm insert hole.
| Cupcake | Liner base | Insert hole | Inside box | Board |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 32 mm | 35 mm | 54 x 54 x 55 mm | SBS 300 GSM |
| Standard | 51 mm | 54 mm | 82 x 82 x 100 mm | SBS 300 GSM |
| Jumbo | 64 mm | 67 mm | 101 x 101 x 120 mm | SBS 350 GSM |
Each cell is the top width plus 6 mm and the height is the frosted height plus at least 10 mm. These are the same cells we use in our custom cupcake boxes for 2 to 12 cupcakes. With the size fixed the next choice is how fast the box folds.
Which Fold Style Packs Individual Cupcake Boxes Fastest?
A crash lock bottom packs fastest, because the base snaps into place when you open the flat box and only the lid needs a tuck.
A tuck end box costs a little less but needs two tucks, which adds up when you pack 500 favors for one wedding. Both styles ship flat and store in a fraction of the space of a built box.
A cube with a window on four sides shows the cupcake from every angle on a dessert table. Whichever fold you choose, the board inside still has to resist the butter in the frosting.
Are Single Cupcake Boxes Safe for Frosted Cupcakes?
Yes, our single cupcake boxes run on food grade SBS that meets FDA food contact rules under 21 CFR 176.170 for moist and fatty foods.
A water based barrier coating on the inside face holds back the butter in frosting, and we never print the food side. The TAPPI kit test known as TAPPI T 559 measures that grease resistance before the full run. With the inside settled you can plan the outside for your event or brand.
How Do You Print a Logo or Event Design on One Cupcake Box?
We print the lid and sides in offset CMYK or Pantone with hot foil or spot UV for your logo or event design. A window of 150 to 250 micron PET sits at least 6 mm from any fold so the box keeps its shape.
Wedding and party favors often run two or three designs on one box size, and each design counts as its own run of 100. If you sell the box packed at retail, the label panel needs a product name, the net quantity and an ingredient list. It also needs an allergen statement and your name and address under the FDA Food Labeling Guide. With the print agreed the order takes one short form.
