Small Chocolate Boxes are custom-printed SBS paperboard folding cartons built for chocolatiers, bakeries, and confectioners packing truffles, bonbons, and bite-size treats. Printed in full color, they give small batches a finished retail look.
A clean folding carton turns a few pieces of chocolate into a gift-worthy package, so your treats sell themselves on a counter or shelf. Print inside and out and the moment a customer opens the lid becomes part of the experience. These work well for holiday assortments, wedding favors, and single-origin tasting sets.

Small Format Chocolate Runs at Volume
Small boxes are unforgiving because tolerances stay the same while the box shrinks. A two piece or four piece cavity fixes the footprint, and the tray must hold each piece without pressing on a tempered surface. Board caliper needs to stay light enough to fold cleanly at this size while still holding a crisp edge on the lid.
| Boxes | Mini format guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Cavity trials against your actual molded piece. |
| 500 | Wedding favors or a single counter promotion. |
| 1,000 | Two piece and four piece cavities cut together. |
| 5,000 | Tray forming tooling flattens across the order. |
| 10,000+ | Gifting distribution from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Plan against two windows: work suited to our own plant may be ready around about 7 business days, specialty imported trays can require about 12 weeks, both written as planning ranges, not guarantees. Free US shipping is bundled into the domestic freight. Send piece size, cavity count, board caliper, finishing list, and seasonal volume.
