The Best Packaging and Boxes for Your Bakery

Last Updated on April 2, 2025 by Kira Andrus

Bringing home freshly baked breads, pies, cookies and pastries is a treat for the whole family. You can taste and sense the superior quality with every bite, realizing the blessings of having a local bakery that works hard at — and takes pride in — producing the highest grade of pastry. When it comes to packaging your delicacies, you can, as the saying goes, have your cake and eat it too. Gone are the days of boring bakery packaging. A plain brown box with mystery contents doesn’t need to define your bakery. Let your product speak for itself, clearly supported by superior packaging. You might also remember that 21st-century consumers are eco-sensitive and lean toward environmentally friendly materials. 

Happiness Is the Smell of Freshly Baked Bread

Few things speak to the soul like the smell and warmth of freshly baked bread. From the tangy flavor of sourdough to the rich and buttery brioche, bread is a popular and nostalgic staple in many homes. Whether purchasing a loaf of bread for Sunday dinner or a weekday basic, you want to make sure your bread is packaged to preserve freshness and show off the art that is baking. ClearBags Kraft Bread Bags with Windows come open ended for easy loading and, while they are intended to be kept open, can also be folded over and sealed using a custom label or sticker. This keeps your bread fresh without trapping in too much moisture, plus the window displays the bread for customer viewing. ClearBags Kraft Bread Bags with Windows also work well for paninis and sandwiches.

ClearBags Wins the Cupcake Wars

Cupcakes come with so many of the advantages of cake and then some. For example, cupcakes are individually sized and come in multiple varieties to enjoy in one sitting. This is why they are so popular at parties, receptions, picnics and office events. Your bakery can impress your cupcake purchasers with clear, recycled plastic boxes that preserve freshness by restricting airflow; fasten solidly by means of stickers; preserve the cupcakes or muffins safely; and display them in an aesthetically pleasing way. ClearBags also offers a recyclable paperboard cupcake box, available in various dimensions.

Why do your customers spend the extra money for bakery cookies rather than simply pick up a package of cream-filled cookies at the supermarket? Your cookies — in taste, texture and experience — reflect the dedication, artistry, and sacrifice you pour into each batch. The consumer palate recognizes your time, work ethic, and meticulousness in creating sweet, chewy and dense cookies that one could almost make a meal of. Such creations are worth protecting and offering in the finest package. A ClearBags cookie box cushions your tasty concoctions, securely holding them in the most attractive, eco- and user-friendly container. We know that not every cookie needs such fine packaging, so we also offer a wide variety of bags from flat heat seal to Crystal Clear Flap seal, tin tie bags to shaped pouches. For the on-the-go eater who won’t let that brownie or cookie make it home, we also offer simple paper bags to bakery bags with windows. ClearBags has a cookie bag for your business or baking therapy packaging needs.

Nothing Humble about Your Pie

Very few people do not like pie. Stuffed with a variety of fillings, these encrusted desserts (sometimes dinners) are a favorite not only during the holidays but all year round. Professional bakers prepare pies with the utmost care — from the synthesis of flour, butter, and water to the finishing of the top crust. Premium pies deserve premium pie boxes, and ClearBags Kraft Paper Scalloped Window boxes really deliver. These adorable boxes are made from food grade kraft paper board with a 12 mil PET window framed with scalloped edges, clearly showcasing your masterpiece. Because the box features a food safe inner lining, you can leave the pie in the box until ready to eat – keeping it safe from outside contaminants while still allowing the beauty within to be seen.
