pink box

Pastry shop packaging

A pink box is the distinctive container used by bakeries and donut shops, especially in California and the American West.

The color became standard through Asian-American donut shop owners who found pink boxes cheaper than white ones.

The term evokes casual morning treats: He showed up to the meeting with a pink box of donuts.
