You want chocolate boxes that look premium, protect flavor, and still hit budget. You also want it quick, low-risk, and easy to reorder. Fair. At Fabrique de boîtes sur mesure en Chine, we design and make custom packaging that ticks those boxes—literally. Below, you’ll find clear arguments, real-world use cases, and practical tips you can ship this week (not literally this week, but you get the point). I’ll keep it simple, lively, and honest.
Boîtes par formes
Chocolate doesn’t live in one size. Truffles need tight nests, bars want slim sleeves, and gift assortments ask for layers. Start by picking a structural family here: rigide, folding, tubeou drawer. If you’re unsure, browse our shape library to spark ideas and lock sizing fast. See more on Boîtes par formes.
Boîtes à fermeture magnétique
“Snap shut, feel luxury.” That’s the vibe. A magnetic lid gives instant gift energy and creates that small cliquer that says, “this is quality.” We add foam or card inserts, spot UV for the logo, and soft-touch lamination for that velvet touch. This format suits holiday assortments, corporate gifting, and limited drops. It also travels well when you add corner protect and proper E-flute outers.
Boîtes à couvercle et à base
The classic two-piece. It stacks clean on shelves, photographs well, and supports quick kitting in the warehouse. If you run multiple SKUs, keep a common base with different lids to lower inventory headache. Add foil on the lid, keep the base matte; simple contrast sells.
Boîtes à tiroirs
Pull-tab drama—without drama. A sleeve plus a tray guides the unboxing, slows the moment, and protects delicate shells or decorated bonbons. We set dielines to tolerance so trays glide, not jam. It’s SO annoying when it sticks; we test that.
Cartons pliants
If you sell bars or single-serve bites, folding cartons win on speed and unit cost. We cut clean auto-lock bottoms, add tear notches where needed, and print CMYK or Pantone for strict brand colors. Gloss outside, food-contact safe inside liners—done.
Boîtes à tubes en papier
Round tubes look boutique and store vertically. Add foil-end caps or metal edges for extra rigidness. Tubes also hide minor size variance in hand-wrapped candies, so you get less return risk. If you do specialty flavors, a color-coded tube set makes merchandising easy. Explore our Boîtes à tubes en papier.
Boîtes cadeaux pliables
Ship-flat, pop-open in seconds. You save space at the 3PL and still get a rigid feel in-store. Perfect for seasonal volume, pop-ups, and subscription bundles. Magnetic tabs or ribbon ties both work; pick what fits your brand voice and the channel.
Boîtes à clapet
One-piece hinge, fast to pack, safe to display. Add clear PET windows for a “see-before-you-buy” experience. For humid regions, we spec inner wraps or barrier liners so the snap stays crisp. It just feel right when it closes.
Boîtes de forme inhabituelle
Own the shelf with die-cut silhouettes—heart, cacao pod, or your logo outline. Smart for Valentine’s, weddings, or PR kits. Keep inserts snug to stop migration; we’ll tune cavity sizes against real product weights. Peek ideas here: Boîtes de forme inhabituelle.
Boîtes par industrie
Chocolate crosses channels: boutique retail, e-commerce, corporate gifting, events. We cover them all and speak the ops language—MOQs, kitting, 3PL prep, barcode placement, and ship tests.
Emballage pour le commerce électronique
Use crush-resistant outers and branded inners. Pair a decorated rigid gift box with a mailer for protection. If budgets stretch thin, print the story on the mailer and keep the inner box clean and minimal. Browse our sturdy Boîtes postales.
Boîtes promotionnelles et boîtes-cadeaux
Corporate hampers, PR drops, award nights—these need premium finishes and fast repeatability. We manage foil, deboss/emboss, and textured papers without color drift across batches. See options at Boîtes promotionnelles et boîtes-cadeaux.
Emballage pour aliments gourmets
Chocolate is gourmet, period. We align with food-contact policies, use grease-resistant liners, and recommend light-blocking wraps when cocoa butter needs extra love. You get less melt complaints and fewer “box got greasy” reviews.
Why these deals matter (and how to capture them)
You’re not just chasing a price; you’re buying outcomes: shelf impact, safe transit, fast pick-and-pack, and reorders without drama. Our bundled offers often include dieline support, quick sampling, flexible MOQ tiers, and finish upgrades during promos. Translation: lower entry risk, faster go-live, smoother scaling. ChinaCustomBoxes coordinates structure + print + inserts in one go, so you don’t play project manager across three vendors.

Real Scenes You Can Plug Into Your Plan
Magnetic Closure Boxes for Holiday Assortments
You push a seasonal lineup? Go rigid with magnets. We’ll add gold foil on the logo, a spot UV pattern that catches light, and a foam tray tailored to your piece count. Retail displays love the tidy “book” posture.
Paper Tube Boxes for Flavor Stories
Tubes let you group flavors by color. “Dark 70%,” “Hazelnut,” “Orange Peel”—each gets its hue. Add a short tasting note inside the lid. That tiny surprise makes people smile, so they remember and rebuy.
Drawer Style Boxes for Weddings & Corporate Sets
You want ceremony and protection. We fit velvet liners, ribbon pulls, and a discreet card slot for the “thank you.” The tray slides smooth, photos look great, guests keep the box after. That’s lifetime media for the brand.
Collapsible Gift Boxes for Pop-Ups and Subscriptions
You need speed and storage efficiency. These ship-flat to your 3PL, pop into shape on-site, and handle last-minute kitting. Less warehouse footprint, more nimble.
Mailer Boxes for D2C Chocolate Bars
Bars hate crush. We set E-flute mailers with inner pads, brand the unboxing moment, and still keep packout fast. Print the story inside the lid—five lines max; nobody reads a novel during unboxing.
Materials, Finishes, and Food-Contact Basics
- Conseil d'administration: rigid greyboard for luxury; SBS or CCNB for folding; tubes with thick paper windings.
- Liners/Barriers: grease-resistant or foil-backed wraps to fight humidity and light.
- Finitions: soft-touch, matte/gloss lamination; foil, spot UV; emboss/deboss for tactile pop.
- Windows & Inserts: PET windows for display; molded pulp or EVA for protection.
- Print Control: CMYK for photos, Pantone for brand solids; we proof and lock color targets.
- Conformité: food-contact papers and low-migration inks where needed; we advise per market.
Practical Buying Tips
- Verrouiller net weights et piece counts first; inserts follow that, not the other way.
- Approuver un dieline with real chocolate samples. Paper behaves different than CAD.
- Keep a common base size across SKUs; just swap lids or sleeves to scale fast.
- If you sell online and retail, run a dual-pack strategy: a display-ready rigid for stores and a branded Boîte postale for shipping.
- Utilisation color coding to reduce pick errors at the 3PL: red = dark, blue = milk, etc.
- Don’t overdo finishes; pick one hero effect and let whitespace breathe.
