Connect with Your Customers with Heart Shaped Packaging

For retailers and chocolatiers, the heart-shaped box is a non-negotiable packaging for February 14th. It taps into the impulse buying of the holiday when consumers are looking for a “Valentine’s Gift,” and the heart shape serves as a visual shorthand for that need.

We create custom heart-shaped boxes with precision and let your brand differentiate from your competitors. Our customization options allow you to change the depth, the curve, and the tactile experience.

Considerations for Heart Shaped Boxes

Packaging Material for Heart Boxes

We offer two primary construction types for heart shaped boxes to suit different budgets and product types.

• Rigid Board (Wrapped Chipboard): The luxury standard. These non-collapsible boxes are incredibly sturdy and are wrapped in premium paper (matte, gloss, or textured). They feel substantial and are often kept as keepsake boxes. Ideal for high-end chocolates and jewelry.

• Cardboard: A more cost-effective option that ships flat. These are die-cut from high-quality paperboard and assembled by the user. Great for lightweight items like cookies, scarves, or candies.

Right Sizes and Styles for Heart Shaped Boxes

The size of the heart can vary, from wide and shallow to deep and narrow, based on your need.

• Two-Piece Rigid Heart: A separate lid and base. This is the most popular style for chocolates, allowing for a “lift-off” reveal.

• Hinged Heart Box: The lid is attached at the top, opening like a locket. This style is popular for jewelry presentations.

• Window Heart Box: Features a clear acetate window cut into the lid, letting the product inside (like colorful macarons or roses) be the main visual draw.

Common Dimensions

• Small Heart (4” width): Perfect for a single large truffle, a ring, or earrings.

• Medium Heart (8” width): The standard size for a half-pound chocolate assortment or small items.

• Large Heart (12” width): A grand gesture size, suitable for large chocolate selections (1lb+) or gift sets with multiple items.

Get Heart Boxes That Capture Hearts

Printing on curved shapes for Valentine packaging requires precision to ensure logos and patterns don’t look warped.

• Full-Wrap Printing: We wrap the paper over the edges of rigid boxes for a seamless look, allowing for continuous patterns or colors.

• Interior Design: Don’t forget the inside! A printed interior (e.g., “Be Mine” or a pattern of cupid’s arrows) adds a delightful surprise when the box is opened.

• Ribbon Attachments: We can pre-punch holes or adhere ribbons to the lid, saving your staff time on gift-wrapping.

Premium Finish for Romantic Gifts

The finish sets the mood and helps your products to appear a premium one.

• Hot Foil Stamping: A gold or silver logo on a deep red heart creates a classic, expensive look.

• Soft-Touch Lamination: Gives the box a “rose petal” feel that is incredibly tactile and appropriate for the holiday.

• Embossing: Raised hearts or floral patterns on the lid add depth and elegance without needing ink.

• Glitter UV: For a playful, festive look, we can add glitter varnishes that don’t shed.
