Custom Treat Boxes & Treat Packaging
Bakeries, candy shops and party planners all need somewhere to put a few small items, and a treat box does that job better than a bag ever will. A treat box keeps its shape, protects the contents and shows them off rather than hiding them. We produce a lot of treat packaging at ZEE Packaging and this format covers a genuinely wide range of uses.
Why A Treat Box Beats A Bag
A treat box holds shape where a bag collapses.
- Contents stay arranged rather than tumbling together in a treat box
- A window in a treat box shows what is inside, which a bag cannot
- A treat box stacks on a counter, so your display works properly
- Frosting and decoration stay untouched inside a rigid treat box
- Customers carry a treat box flat rather than swinging it around
- Treat packaging photographs far better than a crumpled bag
Most operators switch to treat packaging once they start selling decorated items.
Match The Spec To What Goes Inside
- Buttercream needs real headroom in the treat box
- Fried items need a grease resistant treat box
- Chocolate softens, so skip the window on a summer treat box
- Wet items need a coated inner face on the treat box
- Dry cookies and candy need very little from the treat packaging
- Spec your treat box for the messiest thing you sell
- Window carton the everyday bakery treat box
- Auto lock bottom heavier treat packaging for loaded portions
- Pillow box a small format treat box for favors
- Handle box treat packaging carried away from a counter
- Compartment treat box keeps different items separate
- Scoop or cone loose candy treat packaging
Sizes We Print Regular
Every treat box is built to your product, though these run often:
- 4" x 4" x 2" for a few cookies in a small treat box
- 6" x 4" x 3" for a mixed selection treat box
- 8" x 6" x 3" for a larger treat box
- 3" x 3" x 3" for a party favor treat box
- 9" x 6" x 2" for a flat assortment treat box
- 10" x 8" x 4" for sharing treat packaging
Measure the decorated item rather than the bare bake, since frosting adds real height to any treat box.
Board And Food Safety
- Food grade certified stock in every treat box, without exception
- Kraft board for a handmade look on a bakery treat box
- White SBS where vivid print sells the treat packaging
- 18pt to 22pt on a standard treat box
- Grease resistant treatment on any buttery treat packaging
- Corrugated E flute for larger treat packaging formats
A window earns its cost on almost any treat box. Decorated items sell on appearance, and a solid carton hides the one thing closing the sale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a window worth the extra?
On decorated items, absolutely. Plain treat packaging hides exactly what people are buying, which costs you sales at the counter.
Will butter mark the board?
Untreated kraft will. A grease resistant coating stops it and still recycles, unlike a poly lining.
Is the board food safe?
Always. We only run food grade certified stock in treat packaging that touches food directly.
Do they arrive assembled?
Flat, and they fold in seconds. That keeps your storage minimal, which matters in a small bakery kitchen.
Can you do compartments?
We do, with a divider so different items never touch. It works particularly well on mixed selections.
Can we personalize them?
Yes, printed digitally at low volume. Names and dates work well for parties and weddings.
How much is a treat box?
Rough estimate is $0.15 to $0.45 per unit for a small format, $0.30 to $0.85 with a window and $0.60 to $1.60 for a handle version at moderate quantity. Window type moves it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
