Custom gable-top cake carrier boxes feature the familiar house-shaped profile created by sloped roof panels and an integrated paperboard handle. The one-piece folding carton is designed for bakery pickup, decorated cakes, pastries, dessert gifts, and branded food presentation.
Classic gable-top structure
Opposing roof panels fold upward into a peaked gable profile, while triangular side panels close the upper sides of the carton. This recognizable bakery and takeaway format combines a broad printable body with a gift-ready silhouette.
Integrated carry handle
The two upper handle panels align when the box is closed, creating a built-in die-cut grip without adding a separate bag. Final board grade, handle reinforcement, closure fit, and carrying performance are confirmed according to the finished size and packed weight.
Custom materials, printing, and finishes
Choose white paperboard, natural kraft paperboard, or corrugated board according to presentation and strength requirements. Available print configurations include unprinted packaging, full-color CMYK, and CMYK with Pantone color matching. Matte and gloss lamination can be quoted where compatible with the selected board and food-use requirements.
How to measure your cake carrier
Measure the cake board at its widest points and add clearance for loading and removal. Measure the decorated cake height, then keep delicate toppers below the beginning of the sloped roof panels. Because the base, body, triangular gussets, roof panels, closure, and handle are connected, the 3D configurator may adjust related dimensions to maintain a valid dieline.

Why is this called a gable-top box?
The folded upper panels create a peaked profile similar to a building's gable roof. In packaging, this structure is commonly called a gable box or gable-top box and usually includes an integrated carry handle.
How is it different from the tall gable cake box?
This page focuses on the classic house-shaped gable-top carrier and its sloped roof profile. The tall gable cake box is positioned around extra straight-wall height and clearance for taller decorated cakes.
Can it package round and square cakes?
Yes. Specify the cake board length and width, total decorated height, required roof clearance, and packed weight. Final fit and handle performance should be confirmed with a sample.
Is it suitable for direct food contact?
Food-contact suitability depends on the board, coating, ink, adhesive, grease exposure, and packing conditions. Tell us whether the cake or bakery item will touch the carton directly so the appropriate construction can be confirmed.
