Make this box About the cake box with window
Folded shut and measured in 3D: the cavity is 241 × 241 × 89.5 mm and the product block fits without touching the board. Free to open and change; €2.50 for the PDF, €3.50 for the DXF or SVG.
Why these numbers
Two layers from 9 × 1.5 inch pans: 229 mm across and about 76 mm high. E-flute, because a 9-inch cake is too heavy for a folding carton lid.
Food. If the food touches the board, ask your board supplier for food-contact grade board. The drawing sets the shape; it does not make the board food-safe.
Every size on this page is an example to start from. Products change between models, editions and makers, so measure the one you are packing.
Where the product size comes from
A 9-inch cake: from the manufacturer's published specification.

The flat blank
- Takeaway box: a glued corner tray with a lid hinged on its back wall. The lid closes down over the outside of the base.
- The back wall is 92.5 mm, one board higher than the inside height plus half a board, so the lid lies flat on the wall tops.
- The lid side walls stand 0.4 mm clear of the base; at the front the lid is one board wider (3.4 mm) because its corner tabs sit between the two front walls.
- The lid reaches 30 mm down the base walls. It holds by friction; a sticker on the front keeps it shut in transport.
- All six corner tabs need glue.
- Window 181 x 181 mm in the lid, 30 mm in from the inside of the walls. Glue a sheet of clear film behind it, on the inside of the lid, overlapping the opening by about 10 mm.
