Date Packaging for Retail, Premium Assortments and Gifting
Custom date boxes can be made for everyday retail packs, premium Medjool date selections, stuffed dates, chocolate-coated dates and mixed gift assortments. The outer box can be designed around an existing food-safe tray, sealed pouch or compartment system so the presentation looks intentional rather than oversized.
Retail folding cartons keep the pack efficient, while sleeves, window boxes and rigid presentation boxes can create a more premium gift experience. The right format depends on selling price, piece count, weight and whether customers need to see the product before purchase.

Custom Size and Product Fit
Send the dimensions of the tray, pouch or arrangement inside the box. For individually presented dates, include the piece count, approximate piece size and whether each date sits in a cavity, paper cup or divider.
Printing Colours and Brand Finish
Choose plain packaging, 1 colour, 2 colour, 3 colour, full colour CMYK, Pantone/PMS colour matching, or a CMYK + Pantone combination where the specification calls for it. Your artwork, board and quantity determine which print process is most economical. We can also discuss matt or gloss lamination, soft-touch, foil, embossing, debossing and spot UV where suitable.
Premium date packaging often combines restrained brand colours with foil, embossing or a tactile finish, but these are optional rather than mandatory. Retail packs may perform better commercially with efficient CMYK or one-colour printing and a simpler carton structure.
Materials and Practical Requirements
The outer box may be a folding carton, kraft board or rigid presentation box. Food should normally sit in an appropriate primary pack, tray or liner where required. The insert should be chosen around product weight and the unboxing presentation.
Important: Tell us whether dates directly contact any paperboard component. Food-contact suitability must be confirmed for the actual material setup, especially where coated, stuffed or chocolate-covered products are involved.
What to Send Us for an Accurate Quote
You do not need a finished dieline to ask for a price. The quickest starting brief is:
- Your approximate internal length × width × height, with mm as the default unit (cm and inches are also fine).
- Required quantity and, if useful, any expected repeat-order quantity.
- The product or primary pack that will sit inside the box.
- Your preferred printing option: plain, 1 colour, 2 colour, CMYK, Pantone or not sure.
- Any window, insert, divider, handle or premium finish you are considering.
- Artwork or a logo file if available; you can also send it later.
- Your preferred delivery date or launch date if the order is time-sensitive.
For gift assortments, send a top-down layout or photo showing the desired piece count and tray arrangement. That makes insert and divider pricing much more accurate.
Common Buying Questions
Can you make luxury boxes for Medjool dates?

Can a date box include a window?
A die-cut window can often be incorporated where the structure and food-contact setup allow it.
