Product Details

Overview & Specifications

What Are Custom Chocolate Boxes?

Custom chocolate boxes are cartons for chocolate in three common formats: assortment boxes with cavity inserts, slim bar boxes, and gift boxes. Chocolate scuffs and softens with heat, so each piece has its own place.

Custom Chocolate Boxes sit in the Tuck Boxes range and under Candy and Sweets Packaging.

What it has to do

What Chocolate Needs from Its Box

Chocolate needs a place for each piece, a format that matches truffles or bars, gift presentation, care in warm conditions and surfaces suited to food contact. Each need below is matched to the option that meets it.

01
A
A Place for Each Piece
Truffles and bonbons mark each other when they touch. A cavity insert gives each piece its own place.
02
A
A Format for Truffles or Bars
Assortments sit in cavity boxes; bars sit in slim cartons sized to the bar and its wrap.
03
Gift
Gift Presentation
Chocolate gift boxes are printed inside and out, with a cavity layout seen on opening.
04
Care
Care in Warm Conditions
Chocolate softens and can bloom in heat. The box presents the chocolate; storage and shipping temperatures stay with the brand's handling plan.
05
Food-Contact
Food-Contact Surfaces for Unwrapped Chocolate
Unwrapped truffles sit directly in the insert. Food-contact board is available on request. Confirm all food-contact surfaces, including coatings, inserts and any film, for the food type, contact time and temperature.

If the sample shows	Review before approval
