Varnish
A transparent finishing layer available in gloss, satin, or matte effects. It enhances the printed surface and adds an extra layer of visual appeal and light protection.
Empty Chocolate Boxes With Inserts, cavities cut to fit your chocolates rather than a generic tray. Genuinely blank, already sitting ready, or fully custom printed, the choice is yours. Orders start from 100 units.
An insert is not just a tray with holes in it. How each cavity actually fits the chocolate going into it is the real decision, and it’s one neither loose nor tight gets right by default.
Too loose, and a chocolate shifts and rattles in transit, picking up marks and losing its position in the box. Too tight, and lifting one piece out means pressing against, or marking, the ones sitting next to it. Inserts are cut to the product’s own dimensions, so movement inside the box is controlled. Card, paperboard or foam are the confirmed insert materials, chosen against the chocolate’s weight and how the box is likely to be handled. Shape matters as much as size. A round praline and a rectangular truffle need genuinely different cavities, not the same hole in two sizes. An assortment mixing shapes is specified as a mixed layout rather than forced into one repeated cavity.
Not every order here starts with artwork. A genuinely blank box, nothing printed anywhere on it, is one option. A second is a design that’s already finished and sitting in stock, picked rather than commissioned. The third puts your own artwork on it from scratch, running to offset, digital or screen printing, with the finish set (matt and gloss lamination, foil stamping, embossing, debossing, spot UV) available where the specification supports it. What’s actually sitting in stock for the first two routes changes over time, so that’s confirmed when you ask rather than kept as a running list.
Orders start from 100 units. Each design carries that minimum separately, with none of it shared across another. Design support is free. A digital 3D mock-up is free. There are no setup fees. Standard production takes 6 to 8 business days after approval. UK delivery is free.
Food-contact material suitability is confirmed for the specific material before production. For sweets rather than chocolates specifically, Empty Sweet Boxes With Inserts is the closer match. A rigid, more premium construction rather than a folding carton sits under Rigid Chocolate Boxes. Built specifically for a wedding or party favour occasion, Chocolate Favour Boxes is the more direct page. The wider confectionery range sits under Candy Boxes.

Real feedback from customers who trust us with their custom packaging.
Clear answers about ordering, artwork, production, materials and delivery.
No, and it's worth being direct about that. A cavity controls position and stops movement; it isn't a freshness or shelf-life feature, and claiming otherwise overstates what the insert actually does. Fit is about keeping pieces apart and in place, not preservation.
Not at the enquiry stage. A rough description is enough to start a quote; the final shapes and any last changes are confirmed before the cavity layout goes into production, not before you can ask.
An unlaminated paperboard construction may be easier to process through suitable paper-recycling streams than a heavily laminated alternative. The insert's own material is what actually decides that: card and paperboard sit closer to the box's own material, foam doesn't. Final recyclability depends on the full material and finishing specification and the facilities available locally.
Orders start from 100 units. Each design is treated separately for that figure, rather than pooled with another. Standard production takes 6 to 8 business days after approval.
