How many party favor boxes should I order?

Order for your confirmed guest count and add a small cushion for late RSVPs, children and spares. TBPB has no minimum order, so you can match the number to the event without being left with a large surplus.

Is there a minimum order for party favor boxes?

No. TBPB has no minimum order. You can order one box to check the fit with the real favour or many hundreds for a large event. The dieline is drawn to your favour size.

What size party favor box do I need?

Measure the favour itself, not a similar item, and add about 1/8 inch of clearance per side. If it is a small item that could rattle, we can add an insert card to hold it still.

Can I print names or dates on the boxes?

Yes. Names, dates, monograms and thank-you messages can be printed in CMYK or a matched colour, with foil or spot UV for formal events. Send your artwork and we will set it up.

Are party favor boxes safe for food?

The boxes are paperboard and print is applied to supplied artwork, but food labelling and contact rules are the seller’s responsibility. Wrap sweets individually and confirm requirements with your own regulatory adviser.

Can TBPB beat a quote I already have?

Yes. Bring a written quote for the same size, board, print and quantity, and TBPB will beat it. Send the specifications and we will confirm what we can do.

Why Choose Party Favor Boxes for Your Event?

Party favor boxes are small custom cartons that hold the thank-you gift guests take home. TBPB prints them in your colours and message, in styles from tuck-top to window box, sized to your favour. Hosts choose them to give guests something that matches the event theme, protects the gift and looks tidy on a table. With no minimum order, you can print exactly the number your guest list calls for, whether that is twelve or twelve hundred.

Why Are Party Favor Boxes a Must-Have for Events?

Plan from the guest list and the favour. Count confirmed guests and add a few spares. Measure the actual favour and choose a style: window for a single treat, pillow or tuck-top for mixed sweets, a sturdier carton for candles or soap. Keep print simple and legible, because these boxes are seen on a table, not in a store. If food is inside, wrap it individually first. Order a sample before the date, and leave enough time for artwork changes in case a name or a date needs correcting. Explore More

Party Favor Boxes, No Minimum Order

Party favor boxes are small cartons that hold the thank-you gift guests take home, from candy and cookies to soap, candles and trinkets. TBPB makes them custom with no minimum order, so an event for twelve people and an event for twelve hundred follow the same process, and a written competitor quote for matching specifications is beaten under our price-beat guarantee.

Count your guests, then add a margin

Event packaging runs on a fixed date and a fixed head count. Most hosts order for the invited number, then discover the extras: a plus-one, a late RSVP, children who each want one, a few spare for the host table. A sensible habit is to order a modest cushion above the guest list. Because TBPB has no minimum order, there is no penalty for a short run, and you are not stuck with a thousand boxes for a party of forty.

Match the box to what goes in it

Favours fall into a few families, and each wants a different structure. A single cookie or macaron wants a small window box so the guest sees it. A mix of wrapped sweets fits a pillow box or a tuck-top. A heavier gift like a small candle or a bar of soap wants a sturdier carton with a snug fit. A gift with a loose accessory, like a keyring, may need a small insert card to stop rattling. Measure the actual favour, not a similar one, and allow about 1/8 inch of clearance per side.

If the favour is food, labelling and contact-material questions are yours to settle with your own regulatory adviser, and we print the artwork you supply. Wrapping sweets individually before they go into the box keeps ink and coatings away from the food.

Theme, print and finish

Because favour boxes are seen on a table for a few hours, colour and a simple message matter more than fine detail. Names, dates, a monogram or a thank-you line are the usual print. Folding carton paperboard in the 16 to 24 pt range holds a clean shape for most favour weights, with kraft board for a rustic wedding and white board for brighter themes. Matte coating looks calm and wipes clean, while gloss suits children’s parties. Foil on a date or monogram adds a touch of formality.

Tuck-top, pillow, lidded or window cartons sized to the favour
Names, dates, monograms or a thank-you message printed on the box
White, kraft or coloured paperboard with matte, gloss or soft-touch coating
Optional ribbon slot, insert card, foil or spot UV
Any quantity, from a handful to a full event

Assembly is worth a thought if you are packing a hundred boxes the night before. Flat-packed cartons with a glued seam open in seconds, while multi-piece boxes with inserts take noticeably longer per box. If the volunteers filling them are not packaging people, choose the simplest structure that holds the gift, and put the effort into the print instead.

Other favour formats to compare

For a fuller range of shapes, see our favor boxes, which cover more styles. Wedding hosts often prefer wedding gift boxes for the top table and these smaller cartons for guests. If you need a gift box for a larger item, custom gift boxes take up the slack. Browse the full custom gift boxes category for more.
