How to Make Cake Packaging

How to Make Cake Packaging
Cakes are an all season food item, and they are made or sold throughout the whole year in all parts of the world.

They are needed for birthday parties, holiday parties and even at little tea parties. If you are selling cakes, you need to make sure that it is in the best packaging possible. 
A good packaging plays the superior role in increasing sales of the product and making the customers happy. If the packaging is not up to the mark, the customer will reject the product based on the exterior without even trying it or taste it. Here is a little tutorial on how you can make cake packaging. 

Supplies

These are a few supplies that you need for this project. 

• Cardboard ( Make it a thin one)
• Glue for adhesion
• Scissors for cutting
• A template
• A work surface

Other supplies that you need are the decorative items that you can use to make your packaging even more pretty. 

Instructions
Follow the guidelines below to make yourself a cake packaging box. These instructions are easy to follow, and once you follow them properly, you will have a remarkable cake packaging. 

Step 1: Getting the Template
Firstly, you need to download a template from the internet. Go to Pinterest or any other online site and find yourself a template for the cake packaging. This template must be the same size and shape that you want your cake box to be. 

Step 2: Tracing the Template
Trace the template on your cardboard. Make sure to draw all the lines that were present in your template. This is where you need to cut and fold the box from. 

Step 3: Cutting the Extra Cardboard
Now, you need to cut along the lines and get rid of the extra cardboard. After the excess has been cut off, fold the other parts to make the shape of the cake box. 

Step 4: Gluing the Parts together
After you are done with this, you need to glue these together. Hold the cardboard in place to make sure that the glue has worked properly.
Do not glue the top part as will be folded in the upper crease. Other than that, glue all the parts as shown in the cake box template.

Step 5: Decorating the Cake Box
You can decorate the cake box in a lot of ways. You can either spray paint it to your desired color. If you want an overall printed box, you should start with a printed cardboard. 

Moreover, you can wrap a ribbon around the box and form a bow in the front. You can also make a bow with the ribbon and paste it on the top of your box. 

Making a Window Box
If you want to make a window box, you need to cut a rectangular piece in the top part of the box. On the inside of this side, paste a transparent sheet. You can either use a simple one or a printed one. Both the types look beautiful especially the ones with floral prints or snowflake patterns on it.

Once it has been pasted, you can now see the cake inside through the top of the box. This will let your customers decide if they like the cake just by looking at it. 
Getting Cake Boxes for Business

If you are in the cake business and you want to sell a lot of cakes every day, you will not have enough time to make yourself boxes every day. For this, you can get boxes with a window from The Custom Boxes.
