Common Questions & Answers
Q: Can I remove the insert to use it for a small cake?
A: Yes. The 4-cell insert is removable. This gives you a full internal cavity suitable for a small round or loaf cake.
Q: Is this suitable for products with buttercream or icing?
A: Yes. The inner PE lining offers light grease resistance, making it ideal for iced or decorated bakes.
Q: Are the windows biodegradable?
A: No. The windows are PET1 -- recyclable, but not compostable. They should be removed for composting.
Q: Does this packaging comply with CMA 2021 green claims rules?
A: Yes. All materials are accurately described and recyclable components are clearly identified. No misleading eco claims are made, and the product aligns with UK consumer protection guidance on environmental marketing.
Q: Is this available with custom printing?
A: Not on this SKU. Colpac offers branded printing for minimum order quantities, typically from 10,000 units upwards, with design support and quoting available.
Customer Review
"We use these boxes for all of our box-of-four cupcake orders. They're sturdy, attractive, and hold their shape in transit. The fact that they're recyclable was a major factor in our switch from plastic clamshells."
