Default Boxes for Tarts

I recently opened a boulangerie/patis/bistro. I make a lot of classic european styled tarts. I am wondering if anyone out there has a source for nice looking boxes for tarts 11" and smaller. Right now I am using pizza boxes but they are a little short for my garnishes. None of the standard cake boxes seem to fit right. Would love some reccomendations.

Thanks S.

Default short box

try pie boxes they are shorter than cake boxes. ie: 11 X 11 X 2 1/2 inches high.

Pie boxes come in sizes 4 inch to 16 inch.

Check out the Unger Company for boxes, I've used their 3" high boxes for tarts (the Ungermatic style) and they work well.

If you want stock pie boxes try : MrTakeOutBags.com or KitchenKrafts.com

If you want set up boxes with your Bistro name : try Nashville Wraps or Mod Pac We have used both of these companies and have been pleased.
