Confectionery packaging solutions for bakers

by Nicole Hines July 26, 2019 3 min read

Small confectionery companies may lack the marketing budget and visibility of larger brands, but they can still stand out on the shelf literally through their packaging designs. While small businesses in the baking and confectionery space often see packaging as a cost they need to minimize, they may be overlooking its potential to help sell their product. Your packaging is often the only thing on the shelf communicating to people. Therefore it is important to let your package tell your product's story even if that product is as something as simple as a cupcake or a macaroon (okay let's be honest, there is nothing simple about these delicious treats).


We have a range of boxes to suit your needs from smaller boxes, for sweets and macarons, to much larger boxes for cupcakes and larger items.Small gift boxes with grosgrain ribbon ties are perfect gift packaging for small items such as sweets, chocolates, macarons and other small confectionery items. Ourlarge gift boxes are perfect bakery boxes for 16 cupcake packaging withdivider inserts available to purchase separately.


Our boxes come in an array of colours with changeable grosgrain ribbon to make your packaging stand out from your competitors. Our tip is to keep in mind contrasting colours to bring out a luxury element to your packaging.

Custom design your boxes

  • Brand your boxes: If you'd like to add your own logo to our stock gift boxes, it's easy and the results can look fantastic! Adding a logo enables you to personalise gift boxes without the large volume commitment and long lead time needed for a fully made to order box. We can use foil, print ink to match a Pantone colour, or deboss your logo. Multiple print colours and CMYK print are also possible depending on registration, design complexity and box colour. We also offer fully made to order boxes with many custom options shown in detail on ourBespoke Page.
  • Use a bright ribbon: Create a more customised packaging solution, with our extensive range of ribbon colour options. Ideal to add a colour accent to match your brand or product colours. Also great to compliment a custom printed logo on the lid of the box. With more than 80 ribbon colours available, the possibilities to create truly unique gift packaging are endless. Many ribbons take inspiration from the new on trend Pantone colours to ensure you have the most contemporary and stylish packaging available anywhere. Bright coloured ribbon work well for candy packaging.

Here are our top 3 bright ribbon colours: 

  1. Hot Pink: (also known as cerise or fuschia pink) grosgrain ribbon to fit our range ofslot gift boxes with changeable ribbon. A fun and vibrant colour to add to White, Black, Silver and Pewter gift boxes. It remains a very popular accent colour.
  2. Jasmine Green: Taking colour inspiration from the fresh, bright, zesty Spring green Pantone Colour of the Year 2017 Greenery. Works well combined with Black, White, Ivory, Rose Gold, Silver, Gold, Pewter, Copper and Bronzeslot gift boxes with changeable ribbon.
  3. Pineapple: Taking colour inspiration from the bright, vibrant and zesty Pantone colour Meadowlark. Works well combined with Black, White, Silver, Pewter and Bronzeslot gift boxes with changeable ribbon.
