Chocolate boxes are custom-printed folding cartons made from SBS or kraft paperboard, built for chocolatiers and confectioners packaging bars, truffles, bonbons, and gift assortments. Each box is printed to your brand and structured to hold its shape on the shelf.
A snug folding carton keeps pieces seated and presentation-ready, so a box of filled truffles looks as deliberate as the recipe behind it. Soft-touch lamination gives the panel a velvet feel that reads premium the moment a buyer picks it up, and a window cutout lets a seasonal assortment sell itself through clear film. Reverse-tuck-end closures open clean for retail counters and subscription chocolate clubs alike.

Chocolate Packaging Once Orders Get Serious
Chocolate presentation runs on two layers: an outer box that carries the brand and an internal tray or divider grid that keeps each piece seated. Cavity counts of nine, twelve, and sixteen are the usual grids, and a snug tray stops bloom marks caused by pieces sliding around.
| Boxes ordered | Confectionery tier guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Folding carton entry level; rigid presentation boxes require 100 minimum. |
| 500 | Tray tooling gets shared across two or three assortment sizes. |
| 1,000 | Embossed lids and ribbon closures move within normal budgets. |
| 5,000 | Holiday assortments produced ahead and released in staged drops. |
| 10,000+ | Specialty grocer supply, landing at rates from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
As rough scheduling guidance and nothing firmer, in-house eligible confection cartons run near 7 business days, while specialty imported rigid work reserves closer to a 12 week runway. Structural dieline work for your cavity grid is drawn without charge. Request pricing with piece dimensions, cavity count, lid finish, and how many units you plan to buy.
