Favour boxes are small boxes that can be used for many different occasions. These boxes can be really useful for parties, weddings, business meetings and as packaging for products. In this article, we take a look at the different uses for favour boxes; if you currently sell favour boxes or have lots spare, these suggestions can help you find new markets or a new use for them.

Wedding favours

The classic and most obvious use for favour boxes is at weddings as a way for the people getting married to show their appreciation to the guests for sharing their special day with them. Weddings are a huge business, thousands of people get married every year, and many want to give their guests wedding favours to say thank you. The favour boxes can include a personalised message to the guest and a small gift or several gifts as a way to show appreciation. Common items in wedding favours include chocolates, alcohol, flowers, plants and much more. 

Party gifts

Along the same lines as wedding favours, many party hosts like to give their guests a present to thank them for attending the party. Favour boxes are perfect for packaging such gifts quickly and elegantly. Individually wrapping the gifts would take a lot of time and effort; favour boxes are a better alternative. Party gifts can be given at a range of different parties, including anniversaries, baby showers, birthday parties, engagement celebrations and much more. If you’re producing favours, it can be advantageous to offer personalisation options to customers so they can tailor the favour box to their event. For example, a 50th birthday party might want favour boxes with 50 printed on the side, or a children’s birthday party host would be looking to buy children’s favour boxes.

Jewellery packaging 

Many favour boxes are really small, making them suitable for packaging jewellery. Depending on the packaging and item being sent, you may or may not also require a jewellery box. If you’re selling low-cost costume jewellery, customers won’t be expecting a quality and luxurious jewellery box, a favour box can be a great, cost-effective alternative. Many favour boxes are attractive and delicate, even though they can cost very little per item. Always choose a favour box design that’s in keeping with your brand colours and style. There are lots of options that can be purchased off the shelf, or you can get a personalised favour box designed to reflect your company and your brand. 

Luxurious chocolates 

Businesses that sell individually wrapped luxurious chocolates can make use of favour boxes as part of their packaging. Customers will often only buy a small selection of expensive luxury chocolates at once. They can be packaged in favour boxes to continue the luxurious experience throughout the customer journey. Adding these small touches to the customer experience can delight them and make them feel special. If they leave with a positive experience believing the luxurious chocolates, service and whole experience were worth the high price tag, then they’re likely to return and tell their friends and family about your business. Favour boxes can be purchased in bulk at a reasonable price so that this extra packaging detail won’t have a huge impact on the business profits. 

Christmas tree decorations 

Another unique way to use favour boxes is on the Christmas tree as decorations. Many favour boxes are well decorated and have a bow or handle that can be used to hang them on the branches of the tree. Some have cut-out designs which will look fantastic if a small light is placed inside to create a mini lantern on the Christmas tree. Other favour boxes have enough room for a chocolate or two inside, which you can enjoy on the run-up to Christmas. 

Favour boxes are versatile packaging items that can be used for so many different things; these are just some ideas. Any small delicate product can be packaged in a favour box to protect the item and make it look fantastic. If you’re using favour boxes as business packaging, always choose a style and colour that reflects your business image, and ensure the box will protect the item during transit.
