Boxes for chocolates

Desiderio · May 11, 2006

I use boxes form Revere group also , good quality and lots of box to chose from.

I was wondering about the Nakazawa one they do have good looking fancy boxes ,and for a good price ( if you need that many ).

Rever group has some set up boxes I really like , little bit more expensive than the one I usually buy ( round and rectangular acetate ones) they are like set up ballotins with trays pads and all they are very cute.

Is there a reason why you don't want to use Package Nakazawa? They ship quickly, reasonably priced and the boxes look great when they are together. They are a bit of an origami puzzle, with no directions it took a bit to get the first box together, but now I can do them without even looking.

They do not come in white, which is my preference. I could live with a color, but the colors they offer aren't really quite right for this first wedding.

I guess reading your post thoroughly would have answered my question! It may not hurt to call them and ask if they do white.

i am also in search of chocolate boxes. i came across this site. i have no experience with them.

A Gift Box Corp has a good selection of boxes, many white options.

I don't know if this would work for you WTGirl. But www.kroese-exclusief.com/ certainly has boxes to drool over! If anyone has ordered from them please let me know. It is a German Co. and I understand they only accept international bank issued money orders "SWIFT", but was wondering how much time and expense was involved with internationl shipping.

Cocoa-lulu,

Thank you so much for that link. WOW...some of those boxes are stunning!

btw...the company is Dutch, not German. And for those of you on Mac, it's not a very friendly website. I had to switch over to my husband's PC to properly view it. Also, you have to register in order to browse their product line, but oh, it's so worth it. The prices are really good for what you're getting, but still not cheap. Like you cocoa-lulu, I wonder how much shipping would be across the pond? And how long delivery times would be? I wish I knew Dutch, as some of the info on the product pages isn't translated...

you could always, very nicely, ask Klary to translate (her screen name is Chufi)! She's from the Netherlands and she posts frequently on the Cooking board. it helps that eGullet has so many international users.

I'm also on a Mac, and find the website difficult, but it's a whole lot better than it used to be. It took hours to see all they had to offer. I didn't realize it would be easier on a PC. I'll give it a look.

I tried to order from them once but couldn't figure out the whole 'SWIFT' thing so I gave up. Gorgeous stuff though and they keep sending me e-mails and tempting me further. If anyone can figure out the purchasing thing please post, because I'd love to give them a try.

I buy molds all the time from JVK in Holland, they don't take too long to arrive, but the shipping is a bit prohibitive.

The 'Empire' boxes (under Carton Boxes 2) are EXACTLY the kind of boxes I am looking for in a unique presentation with my chocolates for these weddings. I am going to call them on Monday (God I hope they speak English) to find out a) do they have any of the colors I am interested in available in stock, b) what the delivery time frame would be, c) what the shipping charges would be, and d) what the payment system is. I'll post the results of my conversation.

Might be worth a call to chocolat-chocolat in Montreal at 1-800-463-5837 or 514-381-6888 and ask them if they have what you want in white. They have lots of nice european boxes and I remember getting a sample the size you want in chocolate brown with a gold lining. I know that when I have been in their showroom that there are more boxes than the website shows.

Check out the box shown on the Tabago collection, the rectangular one that is not shown there for sale. I think that is the size you want (but ask them if it is 4 chocolate size).

Thanks Kerry. I'll call them on Monday. I guess I always just assumed what you see is what you get on chocolat-chocolat's website. I guess I shouldn't assume. I just looked through their website again, and they have a box under their 'Croco Illusion' collection that is the size I'm looking for. The style (croco) however, isn't right.

sote23 · May 13, 2006

yes, please post. i would be interested to see what they say.

I just got off the phone with Roger at Kroese-Exclusief in the Netherlands. A simply delightful man (who speaks perfect English, btw), and this is what he told me.

He works with chocolatiers all over the world. Shipping to the US is no big deal and shipments generally takes 6-9 working days to arrive via parcel post for smaller orders (which mine would be). Shipping charges cannot be calculated until after they receive your order and actually pack your shipment as there are restrictions on size/weight, etc. for international packages and they need to actually pack the shipment to see how many cartons it will take. Once they have done this, you will be notified by email as to the shipping costs. (International parcel post isn't really all that expensive.) Sea freight is another option, but who among us actually plans that far ahead? :wink:

Payment is done via wire transfer (kind of what I figured), except on smaller orders (below €700) payment can also be made through PayPal. As noted above, you won't be able to actually make the wire transfer or the PayPal payment until your order is ready to ship, as final costs will not be known until this point. (If you've never done a wire transfer before, it's really very easy, you just need to get the paperwork from your bank, and some basic info on routing numbers from Kroese-Exclusief for their bank.)

I think I covered most of the pertinent points of our conversation. I think I'm definitely going this route.

alanamoana · May 15, 2006

thanks for posting your results white truffle girl. i looked at their website and they have some great boxes. the box you're looking for is exactly what i'm doing right now for a wedding. i ordered clear ones from glerup.com and will replace the gold bottom with paper matching the theme of the wedding. the boxes were fairly cheap and i like that you can see what's inside. i'll post pictures when (and if) they get done!!!

p.s. please post pics of yours as well! i'd love to see them.

If you are on a Mac, that may account for why the website is not working well for you. Or, if you have not registered yet, know that you must in order to view their product line. They have no minimums other than the the minimums that come in a 'pack' for each type of box, e.g., 12 boxes per pack. However, you should look at the shipping rates as part of the equation, as I think it's probably true you're being inefficient monetarily to ship really small packages internationally.

Vanessa...pretty boxes!

Desiderio · May 15, 2006

Thank you guys ). I am waiting for the confirmation on the site ( I did the registration )I wanted to browes around for the boxes .

sote23 · May 16, 2006

actually, i'm using a PC. i haven't signed up, maybe that's what the problem is. i will try it again.

so maybe, it's not worth shipping small amounts. i would be curious to see how much the shipping is.

Just thought I'd update you on the decision I made regarding boxes. After speaking with Rogier at Kroese-Exclusief and with the bride (I wanted her approval on color), I went with their Empire boxes. I also chose an satin-edge organza ribbon from their ribbon collection (which are as stunning as their boxes) to tie them. All of this transpired on Tuesday. A few emails and a quick PayPal payment later, I received notification this morning my shipment is going out today from the Netherlands. This means I should receive the shipment the week of 5/29, which is in ample time for the wedding. Shipping costs added approximately 30% to my total cost. Yes, this is not chump change, but the total cost is still manageable within my total budget for the job. And recognize 30% isn't a given, it really depends upon the weight of your box, how many shipping cartons it will take, etc. But it's probably a good planning number.

Assuming these boxes are as beautiful as I think they are going to be and I want to use Kroese-Exclusief again in the future, I would like to plan ahead enough to be able to utilize cheaper shipping methods, i.e., sea freight, to help keep costs down.

I'll post something about my impressions of the boxes once they arrive. I'm very excited to see them!

I can't wait to hear if they are as beautiful as they appear. Will they send you samples of other boxes?

Do you get hit with duty in the states when you import things from overseas like we often do in Canada? The box of molds that arrived the other day that contained about $900 Cdn in contents cost me an extra $210 in duty. Still worked out to a total of $25 per mold which is a bit less than buying them from montreal allowing for shipping.
