Praline / Truffle Box

A branded chocolate bar (China or local production, 500-unit run) lands around $1.50–3; a biscuit tin runs $4–8; a multi-variety praline or honey tasting set runs $8–18, driven by the compartmentalized packaging and multiple product components.

A tin for reusable keepsake value at higher cost; a printed box for the lowest cost and simplest production; a glass jar when the product itself (honey, preserves) should be visible and needs a food-safe seal.

Most shelf-stable confectionery (chocolate, biscuits, dried fruit) runs 6–12 months unopened at room temperature; preserves and honey can run 12–24 months. Confirm specific shelf life with the food producer, as it varies by recipe and preservation method.

Typically 300–500 units per packaging design, though the food product itself may carry a separate, often higher, minimum from the food producer, which usually becomes the limiting factor.

Multiple flavors need to be produced and packed separately, then assembled into compartmentalized packaging with dividers or individual wrapping, adding an assembly labor step beyond a single-product tin or box.

Yes — allergen declarations, ingredient lists, and expiry dating are typically required regardless of market, with specific requirements varying by destination country. This sits with the food producer's compliance, separate from the packaging supplier.

Chocolate falls under HS 1806; biscuits under HS 1905; preserves under HS 2007. Each food type has its own chapter — confirm per SKU, since this category spans many different HS codes by product type.
