Single Cupcake Box + Insert Template

Give a single cupcake the gift-box treatment. This set includes the box, a lift-off lid, and a hold-in insert with a round hole that cradles the cupcake so it arrives upright and unsmushed. Lovely for birthdays, thank-yous, and bake-sale singles.

How to assemble

  1. Cut — Cut all three pieces on one sheet: the base tray, the lid, and the insert with its round hole.
  2. Score — Score the tray, lid and insert fold lines.
  3. Fold — Fold and glue the base tray and the lid. Fold the four insert legs straight down.
  4. Glue — Drop the insert into the base so it sits raised on its legs, seat the cupcake in the hole, and lift the lid on.

Cardstock tip: Use 65–110 lb (176–300 gsm) cardstock. 65 lb folds easily for small boxes; 80–110 lb gives larger boxes and lids more structure. Always score before folding.
