Measure the cake and its board together

The EFB-11 Side Lock Cake Box uses a side-locking construction. Measure the cake at its widest decoration, include the cake board and note the total height, including icing or toppers that should not touch the lid.

Plan how the box is assembled and carried

If the cake directly contacts the packaging, request confirmation for the exact food-contact material and use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a side lock cake box?

The side lock closes the box without glue, so it is quick to assemble and secure for carrying cakes.

What size does a side lock cake box come in?

A generic size can be misleading for the Side Lock Cake Box style. Send the packed product dimensions and note any clearance or padding you need; the final inside size can then be checked against the chosen structure.

Which board is used for side lock cake boxes?

Board choice is set around the box size, product weight and handling conditions. The exact grade for the Side Lock Cake Box style is confirmed in the specification rather than assumed from a generic GSM figure.

Can I print my bakery name on a side lock cake box?

Yes, your bakery name and logo can be printed in full colour (CMYK) or single colour.

Can a side lock cake box have a window?

Window details are checked against the box structure and what it will hold. Include the viewing area and any contact or storage requirements, and the proposed film and cut-out can be confirmed before production.

Can a side lock cake box be used for takeaway?

Yes, the lock keeps the lid closed during carrying.

What is the minimum order for side lock cake boxes?

The current published minimum for box orders is 100 per size and design. If you need several sizes or artworks, list each one so the quote can confirm how the minimum applies to the Side Lock Cake Box style.

How long does it take to get side lock cake boxes?

There is no fixed lead-time promise for every order. Share your deadline and postcode, and the written quote will confirm the production and delivery plan for the approved specification.
