Hi everyone!

I’m planning to package sweets for an upcoming event and need advice on the best types of boxes to use. I want something sturdy, affordable, and visually appealing. Are there specific materials or brands you'd recommend? Also, what sizes work best for mixed sweets (e.g., chocolates, cookies)?

I’d love to hear where you shop for these and if you’ve had success with eco-friendly options. Bonus points for packaging ideas that feel festive yet elegant.

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to your suggestions.

Hi there!

For sturdy and visually appealing sweet boxes, I’d recommend cardboard or kraft paper boxes with clear lids. They’re affordable, customizable, and hold their shape well for chocolates and cookies. You can find great options on Amazon, Etsy, or specialty packaging stores like Uline or Nashville Wraps.

For sizes, 6x6x2 inches works well for small assortments, while 8x8x3 inches suits mixed sweets better. If eco-friendliness is a priority, look for biodegradable or recyclable materials; NoIssue and EcoEnclose are excellent for this.

To make them festive yet elegant, consider adding ribbons, custom stickers, or tissue paper.
