Pancake Box.

Put the vents high on the box and make them generous, because steam rises and collects under the lid. Pancakes steam themselves soft in anything sealed, so the vents have to let moisture out without dumping all the heat.

We tune vent size to your real delivery times. A box that works for a quick counter pickup can fail on a longer delivery, so test it on the route you actually run.

Seat the syrup in a sealed side cup held in a die-cut well, never loose in the box. A breach soaks the pancakes and softens the base board together, which ruins the whole order.

We build the well into the compartment tray so the cup can't tip. A gloss interior coating makes drips wipeable, but the well is what prevents the leak.

Yes, compartment trays split the box so the sides sit apart from the stack. Bacon brings its own grease, and without a wall it would transfer straight into the pancakes.

We lay out the compartments to suit your menu. Clamshell builds with a hinged lid work well for takeout, and the same compartment layout can go into a tuck-top box too.

Diner typography and warm morning colours are the usual choice, printed CMYK on the clay-coated board. Treated kraft gives a more natural look if your brand leans that way.

Inside, a gloss coating keeps syrup wipeable. We keep print clear of the vent area on the dieline, so the logo isn't cut through when the vents are punched.

A 6 × 6 × 3 in box takes a plain stack, and 8 × 8 × 3 in leaves room for sides. Both are square with level tops, which lets them stack flat inside a delivery tote without sliding.

If your pancakes are larger than a standard short stack, give us the diameter and stack height, and we'll resize the footprint while keeping the lid flat.

The minimum run for a custom pancake box is 500. For a breakfast spot testing delivery, that's enough boxes to trial the vents and syrup wells on real orders before committing to more.

A plain box and a compartment version are separate items. We can quote both together so they share one print design.

We produce pancake boxes in 7 to 10 business days, and a rush order is done in 5 to 7. A sample takes 5 to 7 business days to make, with the fee credited against your first production run.

We'd sample this one before any bulk order. Put a box through a real delivery with syrup in the well and see how the vents perform, then we ship the full run anywhere in the USA.

Clay-coated board is our standard for pancake boxes, since it resists heat, moisture and grease together. Treated kraft is the alternative for a natural look, with a food-safe coating on the inside.

If you need a compostable box, that option exists, but we'd test it on your longest route first, as steam is harder on uncoated fibre.
