Overview & Specifications
What Are Custom Lollipop Boxes?
Custom lollipop boxes are cartons shaped around a lollipop's two parts: a round or shaped head and a long stick. An insert keeps the stick in place so the head stays centered and visible.
Custom Lollipop Boxes sit in the Tuck Boxes range and under Candy and Sweets Packaging.
