Piece Count & Arrangement
Start With the Chocolates, Not the Box
For bonbons, truffles and assorted chocolate collections, the internal arrangement should be established before final outer box dimensions are fixed.

Chocolate Dimensions
Confirm finished dimensions including wrappers, cups or other primary packaging where applicable.
02
Piece Count
Define how many chocolates or product units need to be packed in each box.
03
Arrangement
Select rows, cavities, compartments, layered layouts or mixed-product arrangements.
04
Product Clearance
Allow appropriate spacing around decorated, wrapped or irregular chocolate pieces.
05
Packaging Layout
Develop the insert or tray and outer box around the approved internal arrangement.
Internal Packaging

Material Selection
Materials Selected for Structure & Presentation
Material selection should support the chosen structure, required rigidity, print quality and the visual direction of the chocolate brand.
| Material | Typical Application | Why It Is Selected |
|---|---|---|
| SBS Paperboard | Folding cartons and sleeves | Smooth white surface for detailed printing, controlled colors and decorative finishing. |
| FBB Paperboard | General folding chocolate cartons | Balances stiffness, converting performance and print quality. |
| Kraft & Specialty Papers | Natural or tactile packaging | Provides specific surface texture, color or decorative character. |
| Rigid & Supporting Board | Premium gift boxes and larger sets | Provides additional structural rigidity and support where required. |
Brand Presentation
Printing & Premium Finishes

Printing Options
Printing methods can be selected according to artwork, quantity, material and required color control.
Optional Finishing
Decorative processes can emphasize logos, typography, patterns and selected presentation details.
Multi-SKU Packaging
Build One Packaging System Across Multiple Chocolate SKUs
Where products share compatible dimensions, one approved structural platform may support different flavors, cocoa percentages, product variants and seasonal artwork.
What Can Stay Consistent
- Outer box dimensions
- Dieline and folding structure
- Insert or tray dimensions
- Chocolate arrangement
- Primary structural specification
What Can Change by SKU
- Flavor names
- Cocoa percentages
- Brand colors
- Product information
- Seasonal artwork
- Selected decorative finishing
Quantity, artwork versions and finishing requirements should still be reviewed for each SKU before the final production plan is confirmed.
Food Contact Support
Confirm the Actual Chocolate Contact Layer
Food-contact requirements depend on which packaging component actually touches the chocolate. The complete packaging configuration should be confirmed before material or documentation requirements are finalized.
Secondary Packaging
Wrapped Chocolate
When chocolate already has foil, film, paper or another primary wrapper, the printed outer carton generally functions as secondary packaging.
Separated Contact
Chocolate in Cups or Trays
For bonbons, truffles and pralines placed in cups or trays, requirements should follow the component forming the actual food-contact layer.
Direct Contact
Direct Food Contact
Where chocolate directly contacts paperboard, liners, trays, coatings or other components, the material system should be evaluated for the intended application and destination market.
Relevant material specifications, declarations and test reports can be provided or coordinated according to the selected material, packaging construction and project requirements.
Sampling
Verify the Packaging Before Bulk Production
Physical sampling helps confirm that the chocolate layout, internal packaging and outer structure work together before production.
Typical sample development takes approximately 3–5 days, depending on the structure, insert or tray, printing and finishing requirements.
Where possible, samples should be checked with the actual chocolate product or an accurate dimensional mock-up before bulk production is approved.
01 — Product Fit
Check chocolate dimensions, cavity fit and required clearance.
02 — Arrangement
Confirm piece count, spacing, alignment and opening presentation.
03 — Insert & Tray Fit
Verify that the internal packaging locates correctly inside the outer box.
04 — Box Structure
Review folding, opening, closing and structural rigidity.
05 — Artwork
Check artwork position, dieline alignment and brand colors.
06 — Finishing
Review foil, embossing, coating and other selected details.
