DIY is the bee charming sensation. DIY this and DIY that! It’s everywhere! And why is that? It’s particularly because DIY adds an extra touch of creativity to everything, and who does not like creativity? Science suggests that creativity can boost the release of happy hormones.

As a business that sells cupcakes you definitely know the vitality of the packaging of your scrumptious treats! They are the face of your business and your products and all! Yes, that much is pretty basic knowledge, we all know that! But unique stuff always sells and that’s like a universal truth when it comes packaging. So bring DIY to your cupcake box designs!

Cupcake box designs that are exquisite in appearance will surely wow your customers, but also you might also get to be creative while assembling those boxes! Why not have fun while you work? Not only this, the introducing the art of DIY into cake box packaging will add a handmade charm to your packaging making the boxes aesthetic and this can add to the value of your delicious cupcakes! Let’s get into how you can create DIY cupcake box ideas:

1. Ribbon slits:

When ordering custom cupcake boxes for your yummy treats design them such that they have these slits cut into the upper flaps of the boxes. This way you can insert beautiful and attractive ribbons through those slits and tie them in the form of a bow shaped knot at the top of the cupcake box! What a cute DIY look for a custom cake box! Absolutely lovely!

2. B&W Doodles:

While you are designing your custom cupcake boxes add print details that include black and white patterns or doodles! Not only you can be artistic and color the doodles in according to the flavour of your cupcake, for example shades of pink for cupcakes with strawberry icing. Or even better you can let the doodles stay as they are let your customers enjoy colouring in them to create masterpieces of their own!

3. Handwritten Notes:

You can get something like a clear pouch incorporated into your custom cupcake box design. When assembled this would allow you to slide in personalized  handwritten notes for your customers. Now that would make for an exclusive experience for your customers! Cute notes addressed to your customers are as sweet an idea as your cupcakes!

4. Wax Seal:

Order custom cupcake boxes from your packaging partner and just don’t add your brand logo to the print design! Instead, get a custom stamp made for your logo and when after you close the flap of the cupcake box after packing the delicacies inside, add a dollop of molten wax onto the top of the box and finish off by stamping the seal of your logo! DIY and Royal all in one!

5. Embellish:

Yes we are not kidding! After you assemble your custom cake box, start by adding glitter or rhinestones to your logo detail! Maybe even write your customer name across one side like starbucks does on its drinks, except, you do it with glitter or beads! Go extra! Shine and attract! Ensure your customers that your cupcakes are not only baked with live they are packaged with love and care as well!

Concluding Remarks:

How creative you get in your DIY cupcake boxes is up to you, the more artistic you get the more aesthetic packaging you create, that is the beauty of DIY!
