Presentation gift boxes for chocolate assortments
A chocolate gift box is the premium outer packaging that turns an assortment into a gift: it presents the chocolates, protects them in transport and on the shelf, and carries your brand. The range on this page focuses on those presentation boxes for assortments, pralines and truffles, made to measure for professional chocolatiers, artisans and confectionery brands.
How this page differs from our chocolate and macaron boxes: the chocolate box, macaron box and ballotin range covers the everyday confectionery formats (macaron rows, ballotins, cookie and pastry boxes). The gift boxes here are the made-to-measure presentation pieces for gifting and seasonal collections.

Materials, food contact and end of life
Direct Eco Green makes these chocolate gift boxes from fiber-based materials: cardboard, kraft and ivory board. Paper and board grades can be supplied FSC-certified (FSC Mix or FSC Recycled) under license FSC C204557.
- Food contact: if chocolates touch the board directly rather than sitting in a wrapper or liner, ask for food-contact-grade board and the factory's FDA food-contact compliance letter with your quote.
- PFAS: state PFAS laws apply to food packaging in states such as New York, California and Washington; ask for the factory's PFAS declaration with your quote.
- End of life: uncoated paperboard is recyclable where facilities exist. Laminated or foil-finished boxes are accepted in some programs only; check locally before printing a claim.
Compliance for the US and Canada
For premium confectionery packaging, compliance is mostly about the claims you print. The FTC Green Guides require specific environmental claims: "made from FSC-certified paperboard" is defensible, "100% eco-friendly" is not. California SB 343 restricts the chasing-arrows symbol and "recyclable" claims to materials that meet state recyclability criteria, which matters if you choose a laminated finish. Mineral-oil-free inks are available on request — ask when you send your artwork, and we confirm which factory reference can document it. Paper-based boxes are not affected by Canada's single-use plastics rules.
Custom sizes, printing and private label
Direct Eco Green produces chocolate gift boxes to measure and prints your logo, colors and artwork at the factory, so the box reflects your brand from the first look. For a collection, the same design can be adapted across several box sizes and seasonal editions within one order. Useful details to include in your brief:
- number, size and shape of the chocolates;
- preferred material (cardboard, kraft or ivory board) and finish;
- print colors, artwork files and target quantities per size.
Many brands ship these boxes together with luxury gift bags with ribbon handles or printed tin boxes. Samples are available before mass production.
Why buy chocolate gift boxes factory-direct from Direct Eco Green
Direct Eco Green is a manufacturer and sourcing partner, not a distributor: it works with selected, audited partner factories in Asia and Europe and runs quality control on site, so print color, box rigidity and finish are checked before your order leaves the factory. Brands ordering high volumes for seasonal peaks gain a lower total cost of ownership, private-label boxes built to specification and consolidated shipments.
