Measure the cake with its board and decoration in place
Record the cake board's length and width, then measure the finished height including icing, toppers or other decoration. Say whether the cake is placed inside on a board and include any liner or support that will be packed with it. These details help set the internal space without squeezing the finished cake.
Treat the carry handle as part of the design
Describe how the box will be lifted, carried and handed to the customer. Share the filled weight and any required carry route, then ask for the handle, closure and assembled structure to be reviewed against that use. A handle is not a stated load rating; request a sample or written confirmation before relying on a particular capacity.

Confirm contact, print and fit before ordering
If the cake or board may touch the carton, describe the contact conditions and ask for confirmation of the proposed material. Send approved bakery branding and show where it should appear. Review the assembled dimensions and handle on a proof or sample, then confirm the specification and order terms in writing.
