You require little boxes of candy. It is not that difficult, and there are multiple cases when you will use them and they are not necessarily of the same shape or size.

Perhaps you are organizing a Wedding Favor Candy Box and you would wish that every guest walked away with a small box of mints or chocolates. Or you decide to make candy at home, where you are selling it in markets and craft fairs. Moreover, if you are a bakery owner and you need adorable wrapping of the chocolates that you sell over the counter. Or you are giving out baby showers and you want to send people away with something sweet. All of this is required to have mini boxes, though the conditions are very diverse.

This is what Printers have been doing for 10 years. We have likely created boxes of any kind you can imagine. Weddings, candy businesses, corporate events, party favors, you name it. Our boxes are made with FDA-approved paper board and not just any cardboard.

Various Box Styles Since a One- Size Fits All.

You enter any wedding party and there are mini candy boxes on every table. The majority of them are normal cube or pillow boxes. They both work but have a different feel and use.

Regular boxes are simple. They are either square or rectangle, with straight lines, and are simple to fill with candy. They go with nearly any kind of candy. Custom sizes are available in sizes as small as 2 inches square or larger size in case you require more space. They have good print quality and hence will be clear when printing the logo or details of the event.

Candy pillow boxes are curved in shape, which resembles a small pillow. They are more interesting to see and they are liked by people more to give them gifts and favors. The shape feels special. They are famous at weddings because they look more fancy yet they do not cost much. 

The high-end type is rigid candy boxes. They are made with heavier boards so that they can hold more weight. This is in case you are in the business of costly artisan chocolate, or wish your packaging to be a screaming quality. They are more expensive, yet the customers feel more value. 

The drawer boxes come out like a miniature drawer. They are admirable and are usually recycled by people and used for jewelry or some other tiny object. They cost more to manufacture. Great for high‑end gifts.

Good Packaging is A Big Factor When You Build a Candy Brand

When you are selling candy as a business, any business, even a small one, then your packaging does a lot of image making. Candy Presentation Box with your logo makes every sale a marketing. Your logo and colors get a person to remember you the next time they see you. They begin to be aware of your products.

The chocolate candy boxes require additional consideration since chocolate is difficult to pack. It melts when it is hot, and breaks when dry, and can also absorb the smells of the food around. That is why we suggest using the candy boxes with inserts.

Good packaging takes care of all that. Pieces are separated with inserts to make it look professional in case the customer opens it and finds a neat and organized row of pieces rather than chaotic rows of chocolates.

Trust is earned by printing your ingredient list and allergen information directly on the box. Human beings desire to be informed of what is contained in the foods they are consuming. Good labelling pays off as you are genuine.

Candy Type Best Box Style Why It Works Typical Size Range
Hard candies and mints Simple cube or pillow boxes They just need to be contained, don't need much protection 2x2 to 3x3 inches
Chocolates and truffles Rigid boxes with inserts Protect from breaking and keep pieces from touching 3x3 to 4x4 inches
Gummies and soft stuff Regular boxes maybe with windows Showing the product helps sell it, these don't break easily 2.5x2.5 to 4x3 inches
Mixed assortments Boxes with compartments Keeps different candy types from mixing together 4x4 to 5x5 inches
Expensive artisan candy Drawer or magnetic closure rigid boxes Premium packaging matches premium pricing 3x3 to 5x5 inches

What Material Do We Use To Make Them

Everything that touches candy has to be food safe. There are actual FDA regulations about this and we follow them. The paperboard, the printing inks, the coatings. All of it approved for food contact.

Lighter paperboard around 12 to 14 points is fine for candy that isn't heavy or fragile. For hard candies, mints, gummies.  Medium weight at 16 to 18 points is what we recommend most often. A heavy rigid board at 24 points or more is for when you want that luxury feel. If you're selling premium candies at premium prices this is what you want.

More people care about eco-friendly packaging now. We can use recycled paperboard and soy based inks. The boxes end up recyclable or even compostable depending what materials we use. If your brand is about sustainability your packaging should match that story.

Customization Can Make Your Mini Candy Boxes Really Special

Plain boxes don't do anything for you. Custom printed boxes get noticed. We do full color printing so you can use photos, color gradients, complex designs, whatever.

But here's the thing with mini boxes. There's not much space. Trying to cram too much text or too many graphics makes everything crowded and hard to read. Keep it simple. Your logo, maybe one main color or pattern, essential text only. On small packaging less really is more.

How To Order In Simple Steps

Either send us your design or let our team help create one. We make templates showing exactly where stuff prints on the finished box. You see a proof before we make anything. Change whatever you want until it looks right.

Then order however many you actually need. Maybe 75 for a birthday party. Maybe 500 for launching a product. Maybe 2,000 for a big wedding. Usually takes 10 to 14 business days to make them depending on how complicated the design is and how many you're getting. We can rush it if you're up against a deadline.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been working with several companies - trying to nail down a box size and type for my organic tea business. Chris Martin was the ONLY rep in all of the companies I reached out to who was responsive, helpful, and walked me through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to give my small business dollars to Plus Printers! I will provide another review after I receive my custom product!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Chris Martin was so helpful and responsive! We needed custom folders made and looked at various different companies, but Plus Printers ended up offering the best quality and price. This was our first time ordering, but Chris guided us through every step and even sent us videos of sample folders and mockups of our final product so we could proceed with confidence. Thank you Chris and Plus Printers, we will definitely re-order when we run out of this batch.

We are very pleased with our packaging design! It was great working with Steven, I almost didn't work with Plus Printers because of their pricing but Steven went out of his way to try and negotiate prices with the sales department to fit our budget and offered us more budget-friendly packaging options as alternatives. Very responsive to my emails and made sure that our designs were how we wanted them! I look forward to working with them again soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

wonderful service from a company that went beyond expectation to help my project get up and running smoothly. My sales rep, Paul, and the design team at Plus Printers made sure to have every detail in place and gave me a quote other companies could not touch! Lead times were accurate and updates for shipping were by far the most stellar i have yet to see. Thanks a milion!
