Detpak’s Guide To Selecting The Best Macaron Boxes
If you’re looking for an appealing way to display your food items, why not consider macaron boxes? While this type of packaging is ideal for macarons, it can be used for a range of high-end bakery and patisserie items. From petit cakes to chocolates, macaron boxes are perfect for cafes, artisan bakeries and chocolatiers.
Check out our guide to help you find the best macaron boxes for your needs.
Importance of macaron boxes
Choosing the best macaron boxes is important for several reasons. The right display box helps to maintain the quality of the macarons, pastries and chocolates. It enhances their overall presentation and can even add to the customer experience, helping to increase customer satisfaction.
Macarons, along with other patisserie items and chocolates, are often delicate and can easily break or get crushed. Storing and transporting these food items in proper boxes with compartments or inserts help keep each macaron or bakery item in place, preventing movement and damage.
Well-designed boxes can enhance the visual appeal of macarons. Clear windows, elegant designs and custom printing can significantly improve the overall presentation.
So, if you’re on the hunt for the perfect presentation box for your baked goods, here’s how to find the best macaron boxes for your business.
Tips for choosing the best macaron boxes
When it comes to choosing the right macaron boxes, there are a few different factors worth considering.
Select the right size
When it comes to macaron boxes, size is everything. The last thing you want is for your food items to slide around in their packaging or get crushed during transportation, so it’s important you find a box that’s the perfect size for your products.
Our new range of macaron boxes are available in two different sizes:
6-pack: comprises a single 6-pack tray and a 6-pack matchbox style sleeve, and
12-pack: includes two side-by-side 6-pack tray inserts and a 12-pack sleeve.
Our macaron boxes are stackable for simple storage and easy transportation. Plus, there are inserts (inner sleeves) available with purchase, so you can be sure that your cakes, pastries, chocolate or other goodies won’t slide around.
Food-safe materials
When it comes to choosing the best macaron boxes, it’s important to opt for food-grade materials that are food-safe.
Our macaron boxes are made from food-grade certified paperboard. There is no plastic lining and no intentionally added PFAS, so you can rest assured that your products are packaged in material that’s fit for its intended purpose.
Oil and grease resistance
Oil and grease-resistant packaging is a must for macarons, patisserie items and chocolates. Grease-resistant packaging will help keep your food items fresher for longer, so they still taste great and look appealing for your customers.
The paperboard used in our macaron boxes has a light grease resistant coating, which provides some grease resistance in line with our existing patisserie range. However, for excessively greasy foods or long-standing exposure time, a liner would be recommended.
Sustainable packaging options
As consumers move towards more sustainable options, it’s important to consider your sustainable packaging solutions. Crafted from sustainably sourced paperboard, our macaron boxes are a great option for environmentally conscious businesses.
Once the PLA window on the sleeve has been removed, our macaron boxes are recyclable in Australia and New Zealand. Our boxes feature the ARL recycling logo, making it easy for consumers to identify them as recyclable.
Additionally, the full tray and sleeve package, including the PLA window, is commercially compostable. Our macaron box sleeves feature the ARL recycling logo to make end of life options clear for consumers, so they can be disposed of correctly.
Ease of assembly
If you need to assemble the boxes yourself, particularly in a fast-paced environment, it’s important to choose packaging that’s easy to fold and assemble, without requiring additional tools or complex instructions.
At Detpak, we don’t pack our macaron boxes as sets. Instead, each individual component is packed into a carton. There are 600 pieces per carton for the inner tray and the 6-pack sleeve, and 300 pieces for the 12-pack sleeve. While each component is flat packed for easy storage, our macaron boxes are quick and simple to assemble.
