Pie box with window, made in the USA from grease-resistant, food-grade board with a clear PVC window. Zero MOQ, free design and free US shipping for bakeries.










Six simple steps stand between your idea and stunning custom packaging landing at your doorstep. No guesswork, no stress — just results.
A pie box with window holds a whole pie flat and shows the golden crust through a clear PVC panel, so buyers see the bake before they lift the lid.
A fresh-baked pie sells on its crust, so the box should show it off while keeping grease off the print. At Apexio Packaging, we make a pie box with window in the USA from grease-resistant, food-grade board with a crisp PVC display panel sized to your pie. Order one box or thousands with zero MOQ, free design, a free 3D mockup and free US shipping.

It is a printed, grease-resistant carton with a clear panel that displays a whole pie while protecting the crust and edges.
Most are low-profile lock-corner or auto-bottom cartons with a top PVC window, sized round or square for a standard or deep-dish pie so it sits flat and level. A grease-resistant liner keeps filling oil off the board, reinforced corners resist stacking, and your logo prints around the window. This window style is a seasonal favourite across our custom bakery boxes range.
It suits any business selling whole pies, from an artisan bakery to a supermarket and holiday pie brand.
Bakeries and dessert cafes box fruit and cream pies, supermarket bakery departments need consistent, stackable pie packaging, and holiday pie brands ship large seasonal volumes. Catering companies rely on strong pie cartons for transport, and home bakers use our zero-MOQ policy to test a branded pie line without a pallet of stock.
The right style depends on the pie diameter, depth and how far it travels.
| Pie box style | Best for | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Kraft window pie box | Retail bakery shelves | Natural look with a clear crust view |
| Printed window pie box | Branded and seasonal pies | Full logo print around the panel |
| Deep-dish pie box | Tall and deep-dish pies | Extra height clears a high filling |
| Corrugated pie box | Delivery and catering | Reinforced walls resist stacking |
Pick the diameter and depth first, then board, window and print. Bakeries running window lines often add matching cookie packaging, so compare our cookie boxes with windows for assortments.
Boxes are cut to any pie; the chart lists the sizes bakeries request most, in real bakery inches.
| Box size (L x W x H) | Fits | Common use |
|---|---|---|
| 6 x 6 x 2.5 in | 6 in mini pie | Individual and gift pies |
| 8 x 8 x 3 in | 8 in small pie | Small bakery pie |
| 9 x 9 x 3 in | 9 in standard pie | Everyday bakery and retail |
| 10 x 10 x 3 in | 10 in family pie | Party and family sizes |
| 12 x 12 x 3.5 in | 12 in or deep-dish pie | Large and holiday pies |
These are starting points, not limits. We size every box to the pie diameter and depth, add extra height for deep-dish fillings, and die-cut custom window shapes for seasonal and gourmet pies.
A pie box uses food-grade paperboard and corrugated stock with a grease-resistant liner, chosen for filling weight and stacking.
| Material / board | Weight | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Grease-resistant lined board | 16-20pt | Fruit and cream pie fillings |
| Kraft paperboard | 16-24pt | Natural, eco pie boxes |
| E-flute corrugated | approx 1/16 in flute | 6-9 in retail pies |
| B-flute corrugated | approx 1/8 in flute | 9-12 in and deep-dish pies |
| Clear PVC / PET window film | – | Top display panel over the crust |
A grease-resistant liner is the key to a pie box, keeping filling oil off the board so the print stays clean. E-flute suits smaller retail pies, B-flute adds strength for large and deep-dish bakes, and a clear PVC or PET window shows the crust. We build in food-grade stock and never use uncoated greyboard for direct food contact.
We print pie box with window by two methods, chosen by run size, artwork and deadline.
| Printing method | Best for | Main strength |
|---|---|---|
| Offset printing | Larger runs, brand-color consistency | Sharpest detail, steady color at scale |
| Digital printing | Short runs, samples, new flavors | No plates, fast and affordable |
Offset and flexographic printing keep color consistent across a high-volume pie run, while digital printing skips plates so a short seasonal batch stays fast and affordable. Tell us the quantity and we recommend the better route free.
We print in full CMYK for photos and artwork and match exact Pantone (PMS) colors for logos, then confirm every color on your digital proof. Our color guide explains CMYK, PMS and RGB in plain terms.
Finishes make a pie box look premium and protect the print against grease and handling.
| Finish / coating | Effect | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Aqueous coating | Food-safe grease protection | Fruit and cream pies |
| Matte lamination | Soft, artisan surface | Craft and bakery brands |
| Gloss lamination | Bright, wipeable color | Retail and seasonal pies |
| Spot UV / foil | Logo shine and accent | Holiday and gift pies |
| Uncoated kraft | Natural, eco look | Rustic and farm-style pies |
An aqueous coating adds food-safe grease resistance, matte suits craft brands, and gloss keeps a busy seasonal box wipeable. Spot UV and foil lift holiday and gift lines, while uncoated kraft keeps a rustic look, all without touching the food surface around the window.
Windows, inserts and add-ons protect the pie and complete the box.
| Option | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| PVC or PET window | Shows the golden crust | Retail and gift pies |
| Biodegradable PLA window | Eco display option | Sustainable pie packaging |
| Ventilation slits | Releases steam, keeps crust crisp | Warm and fresh-baked pies |
| Reinforced base / handle | Steadies and carries the pie | Delivery and catering |
A window shows the crust, ventilation stops a warm pie going soft, and a reinforced base keeps it flat in transit, while a plain white option scales the same protection in our white bakery boxes.

A pie box is food-safe first, pairing food-grade board with a grease-resistant liner and ventilation.
Pies release oil and steam and sit directly on the board, so we build with food-grade paperboard, food-safe inks and a grease-resistant liner, in line with FDA food-packaging guidance. Ventilation slits let steam escape so the crust stays crisp, and a snug fit keeps the pie flat and the window clear in transit.

We review every pie box for grease resistance, window bond, fit and structure before it ships.
We check the grease-resistant liner, window patch adhesion, print registration and fold strength, and confirm the box holds a full pie flat without sagging or staining. Bakeries that switch from plain cartons to window pie boxes report stronger seasonal sales and fewer damaged crusts.
