boxes for chocolates

[choux]

I'm trying to start a small chocolate business. Boxes are eluding me. I've tried package nakazowa that someone else recommended, and while their boxes are beautiful, I'd like to find a retailer in Canada to cut down on shipping costs(and exchange). Does anyone have any ideas?? How can I find something? Google does not seem to be my friend, as whenever I search I just come up with other chocolatiers trying to sell their packages.

I'm in California but I saw a box in a large snack producers catalog and actually asked them where they got it. They had special ordered it but gave me the name of the west coast company they had used. I now use Glerup Revere almost exclusively. They have some nice stuff in their regular line and can do great custom work as well. Good luck.

I get Baker's Journal magazine which is Canadian — one of the ads is from Genpak (Mississauga)

www.genpak.com 1-800-626-6695 for info and samples. Don't know if this company will have exactly what you want, but if not could probably give you leads. Another might be Westcan Marketing Inc. 403-720-9590. That's Calgary, isn't it? There's got to be more than one source in Vancouver ... Susan

Agree with bripastry guy - Chocolat-chocolat has a wide selection of chocolate boxes and they are in Canada.

Yeah, I've seen their site and ordered molds from them, but their boxes are a little cheesey.
