Chocolate Box Structures and Insert Options
This comparison explains common choices for a chocolate box with cavity tray. The structure, tray, board and finishes for your order are confirmed in the quotation and on physical samples.
| Lift-off lid rigid box | A base and a separate lid wrapped in printed or coloured paper. Simple to pack and shows the full tray as soon as the lid is lifted. |
|---|---|
| Magnetic book-style box | A magnetic chocolate gift box has a rigid base and a hinged cover that closes with a magnet. The inside of the cover can be printed with a message or story; it costs more than a lift-off lid. More on closures in luxury magnetic boxes. |
| Folding carton box | A printed paperboard box that ships flat. Lower cost and lighter, suited to seasonal or high-volume ranges where a rigid feel is not required. |
| Cavity tray layout | Common layouts hold 4, 6, 9, 12, 16 or 24 pieces. Cavity size, depth and spacing are set from your actual chocolates; mixed shapes may need custom cavities. |
| Tray material | Market options include thermoformed plastic, die-cut paperboard and molded pulp trays. Look, rigidity, cost and food-contact documents differ; see the insert and inner tray guide. |
| Box board and wrap | Rigid boxes use greyboard wrapped in printed or specialty paper; board thickness changes feel and weight. See the greyboard thickness guide. |
| Finishes and extras | Foil logo, embossing, soft-touch or matte lamination, a ribbon, a sleeve or a matching paper bag. Options for your order are confirmed in the quotation. |

Chocolate Box and Insert Questions
How many cavities should my chocolate box insert have?
Common layouts are 4, 6, 9, 12, 16 and 24 pieces, but the right count depends on the size and shape of your chocolates and the gift price point. Send the dimensions of each piece, or a few samples, and the cavity size and spacing are set from them and checked on a sample tray.
What material is the cavity tray made from?
The market options include thermoformed plastic trays, paperboard trays with die-cut cavities and molded pulp trays, each with a different look, rigidity and cost. The tray material for your order, and any food-contact documents you need, are confirmed in the quotation against the actual material and your target market.
Should I choose a lift-off lid or a magnetic book-style box?
A lift-off lid box is simple and presents the chocolates the moment the lid comes off. A magnetic book-style box opens like a cover and gives space for printing on the inside lid, but uses more material and labour. Tell us how the box is sold or gifted and we suggest a structure to sample.
Can you make a matching paper bag and ribbon for the chocolate box?
Yes. A paper carrier bag printed to match the box, and a ribbon or sleeve, can be quoted together with the box so colours and sizes are planned as one set. Bag size, handle type and ribbon width are confirmed in the quotation.
What is the minimum order for custom chocolate boxes?
The MOQ is 500 PCS. Box style, tray, finishes, sampling time and lead time are confirmed in the quotation for your specification.
