What You’ll Need:
To get started, here’s a list of supplies you’ll need to make your custom gift boxes:
PLEASE NOTE: We were unable to find the sizes listed here on Amazon. We purchased these boxes at Center of Town, Lakewood , NJ. You can use this concept using any size boxes.
- one 8.5″ x 5.25″ x 7/8” box (for the outer box)
- two 4-7/8″ x 4″ x 7/8” boxes (to be placed in the larger box). Ideally they should be two piece boxes so you can arrange the food easily.
- two 4-7/8″ x 4″ pre-designed or custom graphics (printed on cardstock)
- one 1.5 x 11” band pre-designed or custom graphics (printed on cardstock)
- double sided tape
- dried fruit, chocolate, or other treats of your choice

Start by filling the boxes with your favorite treats—chocolate, dried fruit, or any sweet delights you’d like to include in your gift. The possibilities are endless! - Apply Custom Graphics
Next, print your custom graphics onto cardstock (4-7/8″ x 4″). Using double sided tape, attach the printed box covers to the smaller boxes. Place the smaller boxes in the larger box. - Wrap with a Band
Take the band (1.5 x 11”) and wrap it around the main box to create a cohesive design. Use round clear label to secure in place.
