Custom macaron boxes are all about protecting a fragile, uneven product. A macaron cracks if it slides or presses against its neighbour, so the box works hardest through its insert: a tray that seats each shell in its own cavity keeps the row tidy and absorbs the knocks of handling and delivery. Colour and neat rows are half the appeal, so an insert that keeps the shells evenly spaced does as much for the sale as it does for protection.
Cavity count and depth
Decide how many macarons a box carries, then size the cavities to your shell diameter with just enough depth to cradle without squashing. Made to your custom size, the outer can be dimensioned around the insert so the box closes flush over a full tray. Where the macarons will touch the packaging directly, let us know the food type and handling conditions so an appropriate board specification can be confirmed for that use.
Display and handling
- Insert cavities matched to shell diameter and count
- Depth that cradles without pressing the tops
- A window or lidded format for counter display
Because macarons are bought by eye as much as by taste, presentation on opening matters. Order a prototype and pack real shells to check the fit before a production run. If you post rather than hand over your boxes, add a transit test to your prototype so you know the shells survive the journey, not just the shelf.
