Custom chocolate folding carton with sleeve wk042

Structure

This folding carton adopts a standard tuck-end closure with auto-bottom base, enabling fast assembly and reliable bottom sealing. Specifically engineered for chocolate products such as pralines, truffles, bar sets, or assorted gift selections, the rectangular structure provides compact, stable containment that protects delicate chocolate pieces from shifting while supporting neat shelf display or gifting presentation.

Surface & Visual Design

The carton is printed in full four-color CMYK on 250gsm white cardstock to achieve a smooth red-to-yellow gradient background that evokes warmth, richness, and indulgence associated with premium chocolate. The gradient transitions softly from deep red at the base to bright yellow toward the top, creating visual energy while maintaining elegance. White logo elements are printed crisply in negative space or over the gradient for strong contrast and legibility. Matte lamination covers the entire exterior, delivering a smooth, fingerprint-resistant finish with a soft-touch quality that enhances the appetizing yet sophisticated appearance.

Materials & Construction

Constructed from 250gsm white cardstock, the material offers a bright white base for accurate gradient reproduction and sufficient stiffness to hold shape effectively. Die-cutting and creasing are performed with high precision to produce sharp folds and clean edges without cracking, while glued seams form a durable, one-piece paperboard packaging structure suitable for automated filling, transport, and repeated consumer handling.

Insert & Protection

Internal dimensions are calibrated for a snug fit around standard chocolate trays, sleeves, or individual pieces, minimizing movement and preventing direct contact with the carton walls to avoid surface marks or bloom on the chocolate. A custom die-cut card insert or paper tray in neutral tone can be included to separate and cradle items securely, ensuring chocolates remain pristine and well-presented throughout the supply chain.

Unboxing Experience

The top tuck flap opens smoothly, revealing the chocolate arrangement against a clean interior. The warm red-yellow gradient exterior combined with the crisp white logo creates an immediate sense of anticipation and luxury upon first view. The soft laminated surface and subtle color transition contribute to a welcoming, indulgent reveal that feels thoughtful and aligned with chocolate’s emphasis on pleasure, craftsmanship, and sensory delight.

Customization Options

Carton dimensions, tuck configurations, internal insert design, and printing layouts can be adapted to various chocolate product sizes, counts, and collections. Gradient direction, color balance, logo placement, and lamination type remain fully adjustable. This supports production of custom folding carton boxes, paperboard packaging, printed packaging boxes for brands, luxury chocolate gift packaging boxes, and custom chocolate packaging boxes in similar retail and gifting applications.
