Our luxury folding gift boxes are theperfect packaging solution for handmade chocolates, fudge, macarons, shortbread biscuits, decorated cookies and retro sweets or confectionery.

The psychology of colour in packaging

Colour plays a crucial role in packaging design, influencing consumer perceptions and emotions. Each colour evokes different feelings and associations, which can be strategically used to enhance the appeal of your product.

• Bronze: Symbolising warmth, richness, and sophistication, bronze is an excellent choice for chocolate packaging. Its deep, chocolate-brown hue resonates with the colour of cocoa, creating an instant connection to the product inside. Bronze packaging exudes luxury and indulgence, making it perfect for premium chocolate gifts. At Foldabox, our Bronze Boxes pair beautifully with copper and green ribbons, adding a touch of elegance and a hint of nature, which complements the earthy tones of the chocolate.
  
  
• White: Representing purity, simplicity, and cleanliness, white packaging conveys a sense of premium quality and sophistication. White boxes are versatile and can be easily personalised with a variety of ribbon colours to match your brand or occasion. The minimalist aesthetic of white packaging allows the focus to remain on the chocolates, enhancing their visual appeal and making them stand out.
  
  
• Ivory: Ivory, with its soft and creamy hue, embodies elegance and luxury. It is less stark than white but still conveys a sense of sophistication and timelessness. Ivory packaging is ideal for special occasions and gifts, offering a subtle and refined presentation. Personalising ivory boxes with ribbons in contrasting colours, such as deep red or gold, adds a festive and celebratory touch.
