Wholesale Wedding Favor Boxes
Favor boxes are one of the few packaging orders where assembly time is the deciding factor. A box that takes forty seconds to fold is fine for a sample and impossible across two hundred guests, and that discovery usually happens the week before a wedding.

Key Takeaway
Wedding favor boxes are ordered in guest count quantities, which usually means a few hundred identical units with one printed version. The practical decisions are the construction, whether the box is assembled by the couple or arrives ready, and how long the assembly takes across the full guest list. Half Price Packaging orders start at 50 units, with 100 or more required for specialty rigid formats. Production runs from about 7 business days, depending on the product, quantity and finishing, plus 2 to 5 business days for delivery. Call (866) 225-2112.
Half Price Packaging supplies wedding favor boxes in pillow, tuck end, pyramid and small rigid builds, with foil, ribbon and window options. Orders start at 50 units, with 100 or more required for specialty rigid formats. Call (866) 225-2112 with the guest count and the contents.
Count the guests, then count the assembly minutes
Multiply the guest count by a realistic per box assembly time. A pillow box folds in seconds, a small rigid box arrives assembled, and an elaborate die cut shape can take a minute each once ribbon is tied.
If the boxes are being assembled by the couple or by volunteers rather than a packing team, weight the choice heavily toward simple constructions. The design that looks best on a sample can be the wrong one at scale.
Constructions that suit favors
Pillow boxes are the most economical and fold flat, which suits sugared almonds, small confectionery and lightweight favors. Tuck end cartons hold shape better for anything with weight.
Small rigid boxes present best and arrive assembled, which removes the assembly problem entirely at a higher unit cost. They require 100 or more units as a specialty rigid format, which most guest counts exceed anyway.
Personalisation, names and dates
Printed names, dates and monograms are standard on favor boxes. Because the run is a single version at a fixed quantity, the printing cost per unit is straightforward and the artwork is approved once.
Foil stamping on a matte or textured stock is the most requested finish here. Check the proof at actual size, since fine script type is the first thing to lose legibility on a small box.
Contents, weight and closure
State what goes inside. Confectionery, candles, small jars and seed packets all have different weights, and a box sized for almonds will not carry a small jar without the base giving.
Ribbon, sticker seals and tuck closures all work. Ribbon looks best and takes the longest to assemble, which is the same trade off as everywhere else on a favor order.
Quantities, spares and quoting
Orders start at 50 units, with 100 or more required for specialty rigid formats. Order above the guest count, because a proportion will be damaged in assembly and a late top up run will not arrive in time.
For a quote, send the guest count, contents and weight, construction, finish, closure, the date the boxes are needed and the destination. Call (866) 225-2112 to start.
Frequently asked questions
How many favor boxes should I order?
Order above the guest count. A proportion will be damaged during assembly, and a late top up run will not arrive in time for a fixed date. Orders start at 50 units, with 100 or more required for specialty rigid formats.
Which construction is easiest to assemble?
Pillow boxes fold in seconds and suit lightweight favors. Small rigid boxes arrive assembled and remove the problem entirely at a higher unit cost. Elaborate die cut shapes can take a minute each once ribbon is tied.
Can names and dates be printed on the boxes?
Yes. Printed names, dates and monograms are standard, and because a favor run is a single version at a fixed quantity the artwork is approved once. Check the proof at actual size, since fine script loses legibility on a small box.
What contents can a favor box hold?
Confectionery, small candles, jars and seed packets are all common, but they weigh very differently. State the contents so the base is specified against real weight. A box sized for almonds will not carry a small jar without giving.
How long do wedding favor boxes take?
Production runs from about 7 business days, depending on the product, quantity and finishing, plus 2 to 5 business days for delivery. For a fixed wedding date, raise the deadline at the first call and ask about rush service.
Is rush service available for a fixed date?
Rush service is available on many styles for a premium of about 7 to 25%, depending on the job. Give the date at the first call, since an early conversation is what keeps the premium at the lower end of that range.
