Our custom fudge boxes are made to order for chocolatiers, lolly shops, confectioners and gift retailers across Australia. Whether you pack fudge slabs, fudge squares or market stalls, we build the box around the food, then print it with your brand so every order carries your name out the door.
Greaseproof liners stop butter-rich fudge from marking the printed board. Every box is made from food-grade board, cut to your dimensions and printed in full colour, spot colours or a simple one-colour logo, with orders from 100 units and delivery to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide and regional areas.
What our fudge boxes are used for
- Fudge slabs: a box that photographs well brings free exposure on social media.
- Fudge squares: the box has to hold its shape from the counter to the customer's table.
- Market stalls: presentation matters as much as protection, so the print needs to be sharp.
- Tourist shops: staff need a box that folds up fast when orders stack up.

Box styles
Choose the structure that suits the food and how your team packs it. We can also combine features or copy a box you already use.
- Tuck end box: Flaps tuck in to close the box without glue or tape, which keeps unit cost down.
- Window box: A window shows the product and lets it sell itself on the counter or shelf.
- Sleeve: An open-ended printed band slides over a tray or container, branding it for less than a full box.

These sizes suit most orders for fudge boxes. Every box can be made to your exact inside dimensions.

Materials and board
We match the board to the weight of the food and how far it travels. The main thing to plan for with fudge boxes is heat, humidity and scuffing of glossy surfaces.
- Rigid greyboard: Thick board, usually 1.5 to 2.5 mm, wrapped in printed paper. It is used for premium gift boxes that customers keep and reuse long after the food is gone.
- SBS paperboard: Solid bleached sulphate board gives a bright white surface for sharp, full-colour print. It is the usual choice for retail cartons and bakery boxes, and is commonly specified between 300 and 400 gsm depending on the weight of the food.
- Inserts and trays: Card, board or moulded pulp inserts hold individual pieces in place. Moulded pulp and folded card are the common alternatives to plastic trays.
Food safety
All fudge boxes are made from food-grade board. Where food touches the box directly, we recommend a barrier coating or liner, and print is kept on the outside. Our guide to food-safe packaging in Australia explains what the Food Standards Code expects from packaging.
Store boxed chocolate below about 20°C and away from strong smells, which chocolate absorbs easily.
Printing and finishes
Print your logo in one colour, match exact brand colours with Pantone, or go full colour with CMYK. Finishes include matte and gloss coatings, spot UV, foil, embossing and windows. Not sure which to choose? Read CMYK vs Pantone for food packaging and our guide to coatings and finishes.
Sustainable options
Kraft and recycled-content board, film-free windows and water-based coatings all help your fudge boxes recycle more easily. We can add the Australasian Recycling Label to your artwork, and certified compostable options are available for some styles.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom fudge boxes?
Most styles start from 100 units. The price per box drops as quantity increases, so larger runs give better value.
How long does production take?
Production is typically 10–15 business days after you approve the proof, plus delivery time to your location in Australia.
Are your fudge boxes food safe?
Yes. We use food-grade board and can add grease or moisture barrier coatings for direct food contact. Print is kept to the outside unless you request otherwise.
Can I get fudge boxes in a custom size?
Yes. Every box is made to order. Send your inside dimensions and we draw a dieline to fit.
Can I see a sample before ordering fudge boxes?
