Custom Wedding Boxes & Wedding Packaging
Weddings are the one category where nobody is comparing price on the box. They are comparing how it feels in the hand and whether it matches the colour scheme they picked eight months ago. That changes the whole conversation, and it is why we handle wedding packaging a bit differently at ZEE Packaging than we handle retail work.
Deadlines Are The Real Pressure
A wedding date does not move. That is the first thing we talk about with any wedding box order.
- Lock your artwork early, the proof stage is where most delays happen
- Our urgent turnaround is 5 to 8 business days if you are tight
- Order 10 to 15 percent over your guest count, people always need spares
- Colour match matters here more than anywhere, get a Pantone code from your planner
- Build in a buffer week before the event, not the day of
What We Make Most
- Favor box small tuck end or pillow style, the highest volume wedding box we run
- Invitation box rigid or drawer style, holds cards, inserts and ribbon
- Bridesmaid proposal box larger rigid wedding packaging with divided insert
- Cake and dessert box window carton for slices and sweet treats
- Welcome box corrugated wedding box for out of town guests
- Ring or jewellery box small rigid with foam or paperboard bed
Sizes We Print Regular
Every wedding box is built to your product, though these come up over and over:
- 2" x 2" x 2" for a favor wedding box with sweets or almonds
- 3" x 3" x 3" for candles and small gift favors
- 6" x 4" x 1" for invitation suites
- 9" x 7" x 2" for a full invitation wedding packaging set
- 10" x 8" x 4" for bridesmaid proposals
- 12" x 9" x 5" for guest welcome wedding boxes
Send us what goes inside and we build the dieline around it.
Board And Feel
Wedding packaging gets picked up, held and looked at closely, so the board matters.
- Rigid greyboard 36pt or 48pt with printed wrap, the premium wedding box
- SBS C1S for clean printed colour work
- Kraft board for rustic and barn themes
- Textured and pearlescent stock, very popular in this category
- Corrugated E flute for welcome and larger wedding boxes
Cheap thin board shows immediately when a guest lifts it. On favors we still keep 16pt as our floor.
Getting The Look Right
- Foil stamping, gold and rose gold are the two we print the most
- Blind deboss on textured stock, understated and it looks expensive
- Soft touch lamination for a modern finish
- Spot UV over monogram or date
- Ribbon pull, satin tie or twine on rustic wedding packaging
- Laser cut or die cut pattern on the lid
- Printed inner lining with a message or the couple's names
Personalising Without Blowing The Budget
- Print the monogram and date, keep everything else generic
- Digital print runs cheap at low quantity, ideal for one event
- Sticker or belly band lets you change details without a new wedding box
- One base wedding packaging design across favors, invitations and welcome boxes
Greener Choices
- Recycled kraft wedding box with no film
- FSC certified board, certificate on request
- Soy based inks
- Paper twine and paper fill instead of plastic ribbon
- Seed paper insert, guests can plant it after

Frequently Asked Questions
How far ahead should we order?
Six to eight weeks is comfortable. Our urgent option covers 5 to 8 business days if you are late, but proof approval is usually what holds people up.
Can you match a specific shade from our theme?
Give us the Pantone code and yes. Without a code we match to a physical swatch you mail in, though screen colours never match print exactly.
Do you print the names and date on every box?
Yes, personalisation is standard on wedding packaging. Digital printing makes small runs affordable.
Do you supply ribbon and tissue too?
We do. Lots of couples order boxes, ribbon, tags and tissue together so the colours line up.
How much is a wedding box?
Rough estimate is $0.35 to $0.95 per unit for small favor cartons, $0.90 to $2.30 for invitation styles and $2.20 to $6.00 for rigid at moderate quantity. Foil and ribbon add to that. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for an exact quote.
Is kraft strong enough for a welcome box?
Kraft corrugated, yes. Plain kraft cardstock will not hold bottled water and snacks, so we move you up.
Can we see a physical sample first?
Yes, and for a wedding we always recommend it. Sample costs often apply toward your final order.
