Can I have my pastry boxes printed?
As a baker, you naturally want your creations to be perfect. Not only in terms of taste and appearance, but also in terms of presentation. One of the first questions many bakers ask when purchasing packaging is: "Can I have my pastry boxes printed with my own logo?" The answer to this is simple: yes, you can, but not at Cupcakedozen.nl. Let me explain why with the 4 factors below and what could possibly be a better alternative for you.
1. Minimum quantity
The idea of a printed pastry box sounds appealing. Who wouldn’t want their name or logo to be proudly displayed on a box, so that customers can recognize you right away? But there are a few catches to having boxes printed. One of the biggest obstacles is that the minimum order quantity is often incredibly high. Think of 5,000 pieces per size. For many home bakers and semi-professional bakers, that is simply too much. You don’t always have the space to store such a large quantity, and to be honest, you don’t always need that much packaging either.
Imagine: you just had 5,000 pastry boxes printed with your beautiful logo, and after six months you realize that you want a new style or branding. There you are, with a huge stock of packaging that no longer fits your image.
2. Storage space
And besides, where do you put all those boxes in the meantime? It may sound exaggerated, but for many bakers, storage space is a real luxury. And 5,000 pieces of a single box is (depending on the size) quickly 2 pallets.
3. Delivery time
Does it really take that long? Yes, unfortunately. In addition to the high minimum order quantity, there is something else: the delivery time. Packaging with a print is custom-made, and that can take months. The production process, from design to delivery, often takes much longer than you think. So if you need new packaging quickly, you have to be quite patient with printed packaging. And that while many orders often come in at the last minute, right?
At Cupcakedozen.nl we understand that speed is crucial. You can't wait three months for an order if you have to deliver a cake the day after tomorrow. That's why we have chosen to offer packaging that is always immediately available. Everything that is in stock in the webshop can be sent to you quickly. No stress, no waiting.
4. The price
And yes, the price is of course also a factor. A printed box does not differ much from the prices you find here in the shop. The minimum order value is not a very large order for a factory and will therefore not be much cheaper.
Because we have most of our packaging made ourselves and buy in bulk, we can offer our packaging at competitive prices. This means that you not only have a beautiful and practical solution for packaging your baked goods, but that you also keep your costs under control.
A stylish alternative: our recognizable packaging line
While printing may not be the best option for many bakers, that doesn’t mean you can’t show your brand. In fact, at Cupcakedozen.nl we’ve developed an entire product line that you can easily customize to your own style, without having to buy thousands of packages. Our packaging has a recognizable, stylish look, in various sizes. This means you don’t have to build up huge stocks and can still maintain a consistent presentation.
Take our shop canopy window boxes for example. These are designed with an eye for detail, based on my own experience as a baker. They have a charming look and are perfect for cakes, cupcakes, macarons, and other sweets. And because we offer these packages in different sizes, you can pack your entire assortment of sweets in one line. Handy, right?
Ribbons and stickers: the finishing touch
And let's be honest: a nice print is not the only way to make your packaging look professional. Think about using ribbons or logo stickers. With a few simple, cheap additions you can make a packaging completely your own, without being tied to a huge order quantity or long delivery times.
Imagine a sleek white pastry box, finished with a subtle pink ribbon and a glossy sticker with your logo on it. It looks professional, it matches the look of your bakery, and you don’t have to wait months for it. In addition, you can easily change ribbons and stickers when you renew your branding. Flexibility is guaranteed!

Then definitely check out our packaging line with shop canopy window . These boxes are specially designed for bakers like you: practical, quick to use, sustainable, and available in various sizes.

Conclusion
Although printing pastry boxes seems like an attractive option, for many bakers it brings more disadvantages than advantages. High minimum order quantities, long delivery times and storage problems often make printing inconvenient. At Cupcakedozen.nl we therefore opt for a versatile, immediately available product line, which you can easily adapt to your own style with ribbons and stickers. This not only allows you to quickly have your packaging at home, but also ensures a consistent and professional appearance of all your baking creations.
