Custom Cake Box Labels
Custom Cake Box Labels
We print custom cake box labels and stickers for bakeries, cake shops, and wholesale cake makers. Labels fit single-layer and tiered cake boxes, sheet cake and cupcake boxes, mini boxes for slices, and clear plastic cake containers. Choose matte or glossy paper, white BOPP film that resists water and oil (handy around buttercream), or clear BOPP that lets the box color show through. If you like to write a name or a message on each box, we usually suggest matte paper because it takes a pen well.
Labels stay put from the bakery to the buyer’s kitchen. Order as few or as many as you need. You’ll have a quote within 24 hours, and most standard labels print within 5 business days of artwork approval. We ship anywhere in the U.S.
