Buyer guidesDonut Box Sizes: Full-Dozen, Half-Dozen, Mini, and Donut Holes Compared
Most shops end up ordering more than one box size, because a single size rarely fits every use case — a counter sale, a gifting order, and a sampling event all want something different.
Here is a quick comparison to help you decide which sizes belong in your standing inventory.
Size comparison
| Style | Capacity | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Full-Dozen | 12 donuts | Everyday counter sales |
| Half-Dozen Window | 6 donuts | Case merchandising, small gifts |
| Mini | 1–2 donuts | Sampling, grab-and-go |
| Donut Hole | ~20–24 holes | Munchkin-style bites |
Building a standing inventory
Most single-location shops keep three sizes on hand: a Full-Dozen for the majority of counter sales, a Half-Dozen Window for case display and smaller purchases, and a Mini for sampling events or grab-and-go. Combining all three in one order also helps you hit combined volume pricing faster than ordering one size at a time.
