Custom lollipop boxes for single pops, multi-packs and gift sets, with stick slots or inserts that keep each candy head upright and unchipped. Printed paperboard or kraft, a window if you want the colors to show. Candy shops, party favors, bakeries.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
Lollipops look simple until you try to box them. The candy head is fragile, the stick pokes through everything, and two pops knocking together will chip each other on the first bumpy drive, so our custom lollipop boxes give every pop its own spot and they show up looking like they just came off the tray.
Candy shops order them. Bakeries too, for cake pops and chocolate pops, plus party planners doing favors and gift companies building candy baskets, and pretty much all of them want two things, the color showing and a box that costs a lot less than the candy.
The insert is the secret.
A paperboard tray with small holes holds each stick upright, so the heads hang in the air and never touch the box or each other. Flat swirl pops are different, they want a card with die-cut slots holding them face forward, kind of like a display card, and one fancy single pop sits best in a tall narrow box with a slot in the base.
Measure the head diameter and the stick length, and tell us if it’s wrapped in cello, because wrapped heads take more room than you’d think. (Cake pops especially, those little bows add width.)
Singles go to weddings, corporate giveaways and gourmet pops sold one at a time. Retail is mostly fours and sixes. Twelve packs work for party bundles and counter displays, especially if the lid folds back into a little stand.
Seasonal sets? Our Christmas candy boxes are the natural next step, and the custom candy boxes handle hard candy and mixed sweets that don’t need stick slots.
A window on the front shows off the candy colors, and that does a lot of the selling for you. Keep the pops wrapped inside, though, so the candy itself isn’t touching board. For the brightest color we’d pick SBS paperboard, and kraft if you want it to look more homemade, which suits artisan sugar work really well.
Gloss lamination makes cartoon artwork pop and wipes clean of sticky fingers (you will get sticky fingers). Holographic foil looks great on kids’ lines. Our design team sets up the dieline and insert at no extra cost, checks your files and sends a digital proof first.
Hard candy hates humidity. In a damp kitchen or at a summer market stall unwrapped pops go tacky within a day, so wrap each one before it goes in the box and keep boxed stock somewhere cool and dry. New to ordering packaging? Our post on ordering custom boxes with low minimums is a good place to start.
Yes. We set the height to the whole pop, stick included, and the insert grips the stick at the base so it can’t push through the lid.
Usually, with the slots spaced a bit wider. Cake pops tend to be fatter and heavier than hard candy.
Low, often around 50 boxes depending on the style, and cheaper per box as you order more. It’s 10 to 12 business days after proof approval, and ground shipping is free in the USA. The bakery packaging range has related styles.
Plenty of customers order this alongside custom gourmet packaging boxes, custom cupcake boxes, custom bakery packaging boxes and custom cake boxes with logo. More styles are in bakery packaging boxes, and cosmetic box sizes covers the common sizes.
