Formats for a gift cookie
| Rigid box with cavity tray | Wrapped grayboard, lift-off or magnetic lid; a cavity per cookie; the gift |
|---|---|
| Windowed folding box with lid | Boxboard with a tray and a lid window; ships flat; the bakery counter |
| Drawer box | A tray that slides from a sleeve; a ribbon pull; the subscription and delivery format |
| Tube | A wound tube for a stack of round cookies; a printed wrap and a lid |
Cavity tray or cups
Cookies break when they touch. A food-grade board tray with a cavity per cookie holds each apart and shows them in rows; glassine cups in a tray do the same with a traditional look; a stack in a tube is separated by glassine discs. The cavity is cut to the cookie plus 2 mm from real cookies, which vary more than chocolates. Our cookie boxes for every occasion cover the counter and party formats.
Food contact in a luxury box
- Food-grade board for the tray; glassine cups or a glassine sheet under unwrapped cookies.
- Grease-resistant faces where butter would mark; no coated or printed surface touching a cookie.
- A plain interior to the box; the print and the foil on the outside.
- Cookies with fillings or fresh cream get a separate cup each.
Finish on the box
A single-color wrap with a foil mark on a rigid box; a soft-touch laminate with a window on a folding box; a printed sleeve on a drawer. Inside, a colored liner or a printed lid interior seen on opening. Tissue over the tray. Foil dies are kept for the range and the seasons.
A seasonal run of the same box is a print change on the same die.
Cookies sweat in a sealed box on a warm day. A tray with a little clearance and a lid that is not airtight keeps them crisp.
Counts, seasons and reorders
Boxes of 4, 6, 9 and 12 in a grid, sized to the cookie; a season is a print change on the kept die; a corporate gift order is a sleeve or a card in the standard box. A hundred is a launch; bakeries reorder by the month.

On every job
- Print process
- Flexo in one to six colors, printed on the outer face only and before any lining goes on.
- Color
- Food-safe inks throughout. Kraft mutes color; a white board or liner is needed for anything photographic.
- Tolerance
- Cutting plus or minus 1 mm, and fit confirmed by filling a plain sample from your own kitchen or line.
- Tooling
- A cutting die per size, kept. Molded pulp needs a tool per shape, which is a longer lead and a larger one-off.
- Food contact
- Every board food-contact grade, with grease resistance built into the sheet and never a PFAS treatment.
- Sustainability
- Aqueous linings and unlined boards repulp with ordinary paper. PE-lined cups need cup collection, and we say which you have.
- Artwork
- Vector PDF or AI, 3 mm bleed, 4 mm safe area, fonts outlined. We check every file and send a proof before press.
- Dieline
- Supplied free with the quote, before you commit. Yours whether or not you order.
- Sample
- A plain unprinted sample at the finished size on request, for fit and construction.
- Reorders
- Skip the tooling and go straight to press at a lower unit price.
- Lead time
- Quoted with the price against your fill date rather than promised before we have seen the spec.
- Markets
- United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia — priced in the delivery currency, freight included.
Boards and films we build luxury cookie boxes on
Food packaging is chosen for what the food does to it: grease, steam, heat and time. Every board here is food-contact grade, and none of them uses a PFAS treatment for grease resistance.
Food-grade virgin board
Bleached board made for direct food contact. Clean, bright, no recycled fiber and no mineral-oil risk from recovered paper.
14–24ptGrease-resistant board
Resistance built into the sheet rather than sprayed on. Holds fries, pastry and butter without darkening. PFAS-free.
16–24ptPE-lined cupstock
Board with a polyethylene film for hot and cold liquid. Microwave-safe for reheating; recycled only where cup collection exists.
260–350gsmAqueous-lined cupstock
A water-based lining instead of PE. Repulpable in ordinary paper recycling in more places, and compostable; a slightly shorter hold time.
260–320gsmGreaseproof and glassine
Dense, calendered paper that resists fat through the fiber. Wraps, liners and interleaves; breathable, so pastry stays crisp.
30–55gsmFood-grade corrugated
E and B flute with a food-contact liner, vented where steam has to leave. Pizza, catering and anything hot and heavy.
E and B fluteMolded pulp and bagasse
Fiber pressed into a shape. Holds heat, resists grease with no lining, composts, and takes only an embossed or one-color mark.
Molded to shapeRecycled board
Post-consumer fiber. Used for outers, sleeves and anything that does not touch food directly — not for direct contact.
Non-contact onlyNot sure which? Say what goes in it and where it is sold — the material follows from that. Our notes on recycled, recyclable and compostable cover which claims each stock can honestly carry.
- 01
Send what you have
A dimension, a photograph beside a ruler, or the product itself. No technical drawing needed — that part is ours.
- 02
We quote and draw
A price, a dieline and a date come back together. If a different build would suit the product better, that is in the reply too.
- 03
Approve the dieline
The flat drawing is yours to check: which panel is the front, where the folds fall, how deep the cavity really is.
- 04
Artwork on the dieline
You place your design on the flat we sent, or we place it for you, and you see a proof before anything goes to press.
- 05
A sample if you want one
A plain unprinted sample at the finished size shows fit and construction — the things a drawing cannot.
- 06
Cut, printed, shipped
The die is cut once and kept, so every reorder skips the tooling and goes straight to press at a lower unit price.
Format
Vector PDF or AI where possible. Raster artwork at 300dpi at final size, in CMYK.
Bleed
3 mm past every trim line, so a fraction of drift on the cutter never leaves a white edge.
Safe area
Keep type and anything important 4 mm inside the cut and away from every fold.
Color
Convert to CMYK before sending. Uncoated stock prints lighter; a spot color is the only exact match.
Fonts
Outline them or supply the files. A missing font substitutes silently and the proof will not match.
Barcodes
On a light, matte, unvarnished patch with the quiet zone clear — a code on gloss fails the scanner.
Not set up that way? Send it anyway — fixing a file is a short conversation, and we check every one before press. Our guide to preparing print files covers each point.
Food finishes are limited by what may touch food, and that is the point.
Food-safe inks
Printed on the outer face only. Every food pack we make uses them, laminated or not.
Uncoated kraft
No coating at all. Breathable, so pastry stays crisp, and it takes one or two colors.
Aqueous varnish
Scuff resistance without a plastic film, so the pack still repulps.
Molded emboss
A logo pressed into pulp or bagasse. No ink, nothing to rub off, and it survives grease.
Grease-resistant face
Not a finish you can see. It is in the sheet, it is PFAS-free, and it is why the print stays clean.
Matte lamination
Available on outers and sleeves that never touch food — a cake box lid, a carrier, a gift sleeve.
Not sure which suits the shelf it sells from? Say where the product is sold and we suggest one — our notes on specialty finishes show them on real boxes.
Sizing food packaging around a portion, hot: luxury cookie boxes
Food is sized by serving, not by dimensions, and it is served hot, heaped and in a hurry. Send us the portion — or better, the box you use now with the food in it — and we size to how it is actually filled.
- Portion, heaped
- Fries, popcorn and salad are served above the rim. A box sized to a level fill looks mean and spills in a bag.
- Lid clearance
- Enough that a loaded burger or a topped cake does not touch the lid. This is the single most common complaint about a food box.
- Venting
- Hot food steams. Vents in the lid keep pastry and fries crisp; a sealed box is right only for cold food.
- Grease path
- Where the fat sits decides the board. Say if the food is fried, buttered or sauced, and whether it is held for minutes or an hour.
- Stacking in a bag
- Delivery boxes are stacked five high on a bike. The lid has to hold the box above it off the food below.
- Sample fill
- A plain box filled from your kitchen settles the size in one try, and we send one before the run.
Not sure your numbers are right? Send the product dimensions rather than the box dimensions and we work the box out — the full method is in our guide to measuring for a box.

Frequently asked questions
Got a question about luxury cookie boxes? The answers below cover what we get asked most. If yours is not here, send it with a brief, message us on WhatsApp, or call +1 503-461-4788 — we reply the same working day.
How are the cookies kept from breaking?
A food-grade tray with a cavity per cookie, or glassine cups, so no two cookies touch. Cavities are cut from real cookies plus 2 mm.
Is the box food safe?
Yes: food-grade tray, glassine under unwrapped cookies, and no printed surface touching a cookie.
Rigid or folding?
Rigid with foil for a gift line; folding with a window for a bakery counter at a lower cost that ships flat.
Can I have a window?
Yes, on a folding lid over the tray.
What counts do you make?
4, 6, 9 and 12 in a grid, or a stack in a tube.
What is the minimum order for luxury cookie boxes?
100 boxes, which covers a launch; bakeries then reorder by the month. Cavity trays are cut from real cookies plus 2 mm, in counts of 4, 6, 9 or 12.
Will the cookies go soft in the box?
Not with a little clearance and a lid that is not airtight. A sealed box on a warm day makes them sweat.
Can the tray hold filled cookies?
Yes, in a separate cup each.
Can I do a seasonal box?
Yes, a print change on the kept die, or a seasonal sleeve on the standard box.
Do luxury cookie boxes ship flat?
Windowed folding boxes and their board trays ship flat. Rigid lift-off or magnetic boxes and wound tubes arrive assembled.
Can I have foil on the lid?
Yes, and the die is kept.
Can luxury cookie boxes ship to the UK, Canada or Australia?
Yes, quoted in the delivery currency for the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Folding boxes and trays go flat; rigid boxes and wound tubes go assembled.
