Custom Favor Boxes for Weddings, Events, and Celebrations
A well-chosen favor box transforms a small gift into a cherished memory. Custom favor boxes are one of the most personal touches an event planner, couple, or host can add to a celebration, letting guests take home something beautiful that reflects the occasion's style and sentiment. Teal Packaging produces custom favor boxes for weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, bridal showers, corporate events, holiday celebrations, and any occasion where presentation matters.
The right custom favor box does three things at once: it presents your gift attractively, coordinates with your event's aesthetic, and gives guests something worth keeping. Whether you are filling boxes with chocolates, candles, macarons, small jewelry pieces, seeds, or keepsake items, your packaging sets the tone before the gift inside is even discovered.
Teal Packaging offers custom favor boxes from a minimum of 50 units, with a two-week production turnaround, free shipping to the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, and free design support included on every order. Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or a large-scale event, we scale to meet your needs.
Materials for Custom Favor Boxes
The right material for a favor box depends on the gift inside, the event aesthetic, and the finish you want to achieve. Teal Packaging offers a curated selection of substrates suited to event and gifting applications.
- SBS board (300gsm-350gsm): Smooth white surface for vivid full-color printing. Ideal for floral designs, watercolor illustrations, and photography-based artwork.
- Kraft paperboard (300gsm-350gsm): Natural brown or white kraft for rustic, bohemian, or eco-themed events. Pairs beautifully with twine, dried flowers, and natural decoration.
- Coated art paper (200gsm-250gsm): Lightweight option for delicate favor boxes holding lighter contents such as candy, seeds, or small trinkets.
- Rigid chipboard (1000gsm-1400gsm): Premium choice for gift-level favor boxes at high-end weddings or luxury corporate events.
- Specialty textured papers: Pearl, linen, and metallic paper wraps for event favor boxes with a distinctive premium feel.
Box construction options include auto-lock bases, tuck-top closures, pillow boxes, window boxes, and favor boxes with ribbon ties or decorative closures.
Our team will recommend the most practical construction for your chosen contents and event format.

Every element of your custom favor boxes can be tailored to your event's color palette, theme, and personal style. Teal Packaging offers a wide range of print and finish options.

Sustainable Favor Box Options
Many event hosts are choosing sustainable this packaging as part of a commitment to environmentally responsible celebrations. Teal Packaging supports this choice with FSC-certified board substrates and soy-based inks across all favor box production.
All board and paper options in our favor box range are fully recyclable. For events where compostable packaging is preferred, our kraft paperboard options with water-based coatings can be composted in home or commercial composting environments, making them a popular choice for outdoor events, garden parties, and eco-conscious celebrations.
Guests increasingly appreciate and comment on sustainable event packaging, making it a conversation starter as well as an environmental choice. Including a small note inside your favor box explaining the eco-friendly materials used adds a thoughtful personal touch that resonates with environmentally aware guests.
For larger event gift items that need a more substantial box, our custom gift boxes offer the same sustainable production credentials in a range of larger formats.
Our custom candle boxes are worth exploring if candles are among your event favor items.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Favor Boxes
How many favor boxes can I order?
The minimum order for bespoke favor boxes at Teal Packaging is 50 units, making it practical for intimate gatherings as well as large events. There is no stated maximum order. For events requiring thousands of units, our manufacturing partners can scale production to meet your needs. Contact our team for volume pricing if you need more than 500 units, as significant per-unit cost savings are available at higher quantities.
Can I add a personal name to each individual favor box?
Yes. Variable data printing allows each box in your order to carry a unique name, number, or personalized message. This is popular for wedding favor boxes with individual guest names, christening favor boxes for baby's name, and corporate event boxes with attendee names. Variable data printing is available as an add-on service. Please specify this requirement when requesting your quote so it can be included in your production plan.
What can I put in a custom favor box?
made-to-order favor boxes can hold almost any small gift item that fits within the box dimensions. Popular contents include chocolates and truffles, macarons, wrapped candy, small candles, soap bars, lip balm, mini bottles of spirits or perfume, seed packets, pressed flower keepsakes, jewelry, crystals, small succulents, and personalized keepsakes. Heavier or more fragile contents may benefit from an insert tray or tissue paper lining to protect the gift during transit and handling.
How far in advance should I order favor boxes for a wedding?
We recommend placing your favor box order at least six to eight weeks before your wedding date to allow adequate time for design development, proof approval, production, and shipping.
Our standard production turnaround is approximately two weeks from proof approval, and free shipping is included. However, design revisions and artwork development can add time before production begins, so earlier is always better for important events. Contact our team as soon as your event date is confirmed to get started.
