Custom Printed Macaron Boxes for a Full Range of Pack Sizes

Most macaron sellers end up needing three or four box sizes. A tasting box, a half dozen, a dozen and a larger gift set cover most orders.

Plan them together from the start. The same artwork scaled across every size makes your counter look organized and helps customers trade up.

If you also sell other bakes, our macaron and specialty packaging range shows boxes that sit well beside a macaron line.

Start small if you are new. Two sizes printed well are better than five sizes that sit unused on a shelf.

Patisseries and dessert shops order them for daily counter sales. Home bakers who sell at markets order smaller runs in one or two sizes.

Cafes that buy macarons from a wholesale baker often want their own printed box. In that case the box carries the cafe brand while the baker supplies the shells.

Event planners and caterers order them for favors, dessert tables and corporate gifts. These orders often need a single count printed with an event name.

Shops that sell mostly over the counter can compare this page with our counter-ready bakery macaron boxes, which focus on daily retail use.

Macarons vary a lot from bakery to bakery. Some shells are small and flat, while others are wide and heavily filled.

We cut inserts to your shell size, not a generic one. Send the width across the shell and the height including filling, measured on a few finished macarons.

Channels work for tube and tray styles where macarons stand in a row. Round cavities suit lid boxes where macarons lie flat or tilt slightly.

If the insert is too loose, shells knock together and crack. If it is too tight, staff struggle to seat them and the filling squeezes out.

White SBS board shows pastel colors cleanly and suits a soft, light brand. Kraft gives a warm, natural look and pairs well with white ink.

Pantone matching helps if your brand has one signature color across every size. Full color CMYK works for patterns, photos and illustrated designs.

Foil on a small logo, or a matte lamination with spot UV, adds a premium feel without heavy ink. You can sketch ideas in our free packaging design studio before asking for a proof.

Keep fine text away from the folds on tube styles. Small type on a crease can crack when the box is folded.

Macarons react to moisture and temperature. A box cannot replace a fridge, but the right build helps them hold up between counter and table.

Laminated board resists marks from condensation when boxes come out of a chiller. Uncoated kraft may show small water spots if boxes sit in a humid room.

Tell customers how long the macarons last and how to store them. A one-line care note printed on the base answers the most common question at the counter.

Brands with a pale, clean look often choose bright white board for this reason. Our plain white macaron boxes show how pastel shells read against white.

Macarons are hard to mail because they bruise and soften. Seat them in a tight insert, close the box firmly, then pack it in a padded outer carton.

Many sellers ship early in the week so boxes do not sit in a warehouse over a weekend. Our article on packaging cookies for retail sale covers labeling and other selling basics.

In warm months, add a cold pack and an insulated liner inside the outer carton. Keep the printed macaron box itself away from direct contact with ice.

Mark the outer carton with an arrow showing which side is up. Macarons laid flat in a lid box travel best when the box stays level.

The most common error is ordering one box for every count. A dozen-size box with six macarons looks half empty and lets shells slide.

Another is a window placed where the insert edge shows instead of the macarons. We check window position against the insert on your proof.

A third is a closure that pops open. Tube and tuck styles need a firm tab so the box does not open when a customer carries it by the side.

Last, many sellers forget the box is often a gift. Leave a small blank space or printed line on the lid where a name can be written by hand.

Each macaron box size is priced on its own, starting from $0.30 per unit, based on size, board, quantity and finish. Send your counts through our macaron box quote request for an exact figure.

We set up artwork for every size free of charge, and you can revise the digital proof as many times as needed. Production runs 4 to 6 business days after approval.

Your macaron boxes then reach you in 2 to 3 business days, free to the US, UK, Canada and Australia. A misprinted or damaged carton reported within 10 days is reprinted or refunded.
