What Are Boxes for Chocolate Covered Strawberries?
These are gift and retail boxes made to hold chocolate dipped strawberries without letting them touch or roll. Most have a paperboard insert with a holder for each berry. A lid or clear window lets customers see the treats before they open the box.
Chocolatiers, dessert shops, home bakers, florists, and gift companies use them for daily orders, events, and holiday sales. Also check our wide range of custom chocolate boxes, so you can match the look across your whole product line.
Inserts That Keep Every Strawberry in Place
The insert is the most important part of this box. Dipped strawberries are heavy at the base and fragile on top. If they slide, the chocolate chips, the drizzle smudges, and toppings fall off.
A die-cut insert gives each berry its own slot. So the box can tilt in a car or a delivery bag without damage. We cut every insert to the size of your berries, and you can add paper cups inside each slot for a cleaner look. See our cardboard boxes with inserts for more insert options.

Box Styles for Dipped Strawberries
A two-piece rigid box with a lift-off lid is the top pick for premium gifts. It feels heavy in the hand and keeps its shape. For an even smoother opening, magnetic closure gift boxes snap shut and hold the lid tight.
If you want the berries on show, a window box with clear film works well on a counter or in a display case. For busy shops, tuck top and auto bottom boxes ship flat and fold up in seconds. Sleeve and tray boxes give a neat slide-out reveal. And for Valentine's Day, a heart-shaped box is always a strong seller.
Materials for Chocolate Covered Strawberry Boxes
- SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) Paperboard: Smooth and white, so logos and photos print bright and sharp. A good fit for window boxes and tuck top styles.
- Kraft Stock: Natural brown board with a handmade look. Popular with small shops and organic brands.
- Rigid Stock (Greyboard): Thick board wrapped in printed paper. It holds its shape for luxury gift boxes.
- E-Flute Corrugated: A thin fluted board for boxes that go out for delivery or get packed inside a shipper.
We use FSC-certified materials that are 100% recyclable.
Keeping Strawberries Fresh From the Fridge to the Customer
Chocolate covered strawberries taste best cold and within a day or two of dipping. That means your box will spend time in a fridge. When it comes out, moisture can form on the surface and soften plain paperboard.
A gloss or matte lamination, or an aqueous coating, helps the box resist that moisture and keeps the print sharp. A snug lid and window film also limit air contact. Still, no paper box can replace cold storage. For warm-weather deliveries, pack your printed box inside an insulated shipper with ice packs.
Printing and Finishing Options
Digital printing suits short runs and seasonal designs. Offset printing is better for large orders where color needs to stay the same across every box. You can print in CMYK for full-color art, or use PMS colors to match your brand exactly.
Use the panels for your logo, flavor names, ingredients, and allergen notes like milk or nuts. A "Keep Refrigerated" line on the lid helps customers store the berries right. You can also print inside the lid for a thank-you note or a message card. To finish it off, add gold or silver foil stamping, embossing, debossing, spot UV, or soft-touch lamination.
Boxes for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Events
Valentine's Day is the biggest week of the year for dipped strawberries. Mother's Day, weddings, baby showers, graduations, and client gifts keep demand steady the rest of the year. With a 100-box minimum, you can print a fresh design for each holiday without overstocking. If you also sell other treats, our custom sweet gift boxes pair well with your strawberry line.
