A heart shaped box is a custom die-cut box built to a heart-shaped outline rather than a standard rectangle, commonly used for chocolates, small jewellery, or sentimental keepsake gifts. Because the shape itself carries meaning, it suits occasions like Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and romantic gifting specifically.
Why the Shape Does Emotional Work a Standard Box Cannot
A heart-shaped box communicates the occasion instantly, before a customer even reads any branding or messaging. This makes it a strong seasonal or occasion-specific packaging choice, even where a brand's everyday packaging is more conventional.
Styles We Make
We build heart-shaped boxes as folding cartons with a fitted tray insert for chocolates or small items, using a custom die cut to the heart outline.
Materials
Coated folding carton board is standard, with foil stamping or gloss lamination popular finishes for a romantic, premium feel.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom heart shaped boxes are available from around 50 to 100 units for the first run, with a one-off tooling cost for the custom heart-shaped die.
Average Heart Shaped Box Prices
As a general guide, heart shaped boxes typically cost between £0.50 and £1.60 per unit, plus a one-off tooling cost, depending on size, tray complexity and finish.
Sustainability
Recyclable folding carton board is standard, with FSC-sourced options available on request.
