Dessert Packaging for Auckland Operators
From a single-serve PLA tub to a windowed cake box, we stock what Auckland's dessert scene actually needs.
Auckland runs on sweet things. The CBD, Ponsonby, Newmarket — there's a dessert shop, patisserie, or cafe on every second block. We already supply 54 Auckland operators in this category, and we keep the lines stocked so you're not waiting on a boat from overseas when you run out mid-weekend.
Our dessert packaging covers 5oz PLA tubs, three sizes of windowed square cake boxes, and wooden dessert spoons in packs of 100 or cartons of 1000. Real products, real stock, dispatched the same day if your order is in before 4pm on a business day.

Materials Worth Knowing About
The 5oz tub is white PLA — plant-based, commercially compostable. It won't warp under cold desserts and it doesn't carry that plasticky taste. Auckland cafes putting desserts in the cabinet often prefer white over clear because it makes the product pop.
The cake boxes are kraft board with a clear window panel. The window is cut front and centre so customers see the product before they even open the box. All three sizes stack flat, which matters when you're short on shelf space during a Saturday rush.
The wooden spoons are a straightforward swap from plastic. They hold up through a scoop of gelato without snapping. That's about all you need them to do.
Ordering and Dispatch from Auckland
We dispatch on stocked lines from our NZ warehouse. Order before 4pm on a business day and it goes out the same day. We're not promising same-day delivery — that's a courier's job — but we do our part fast.
54 Auckland operators currently order dessert packaging through us. Some are weekly regulars. Some reorder when stock drops. Either way, the account setup is straightforward and there's no minimum order drama on stocked lines.
If you need something outside what's listed here — different sizes, custom print, or branded boxes — get in touch and we'll tell you honestly what's possible and what the lead time looks like.
Custom Print and Branded Packaging
Custom print is available on selected lines. It's not an overnight job — lead times vary depending on the run size and artwork complexity. If you're a high-volume Auckland operator wanting your logo on a cake box or a dessert tub, talk to us early. We'll give you straight numbers on minimum quantities and timelines before you commit to anything.
Branded packaging is worth doing when the volume is there. It's not worth the headache when you're moving 200 units a month. We'll tell you which side of that line you're on.
Frequently asked
What sizes do the windowed cake boxes come in?+
Three sizes: 254 x 254 x 50mm, 254 x 254 x 75mm, and 305 x 305 x 70mm. All sold in cartons of 100. The 254mm footprint suits a standard 8-inch cake, the 305mm handles a 10-inch.
Is the PLA dessert tub actually compostable?+
Yes — it's commercially compostable PLA. That means it needs an industrial composting facility to break down properly, not a home compost bin. Check what your local Auckland waste service accepts before marketing it as compostable to customers.
Can I get the dessert tubs in sizes other than 5oz?+
The current stocked line is 5oz in white PLA. If you need a different volume, contact us and we'll let you know what's available or what lead time looks like on a special order.
Do you offer custom printed cake boxes for Auckland bakeries?+
Custom print is available on selected lines. Minimum quantities and lead times apply. Talk to us before you need them — not the week your reorder runs out.
What's the cut-off for same-day dispatch?+
4pm on NZ business days, on stocked lines only. Get your order in before then and it goes out the same day.
Are the wooden dessert spoons strong enough for gelato or frozen desserts?+
Yes. They're solid enough to scoop through a standard serve of gelato without snapping. They're not designed for heavy digging through rock-hard frozen tubs, but for normal dessert service they hold up fine.
