Gourmet gift boxes

Gourmet gift boxes
staging taste

Chocolate, pastry, wines and spirits, fine foods: a gourmet gift box stages taste before the first bite. It has to protect a fragile, often perishable product and live up to what it contains. Esprit du Luxe designs premium food packaging, with food-contact compliant materials and precise inserts for each product.

We support chefs, houses and distributors in Switzerland and abroad, from limited editions to seasonal boxes, taking into account storage, transport and in-store presentation constraints.

What we make

Chocolate and confectionery boxes, pastry and macaron boxes, bottle boxes for wines and spirits, tasting boxes with compartments, gift boxes for fine foods, festive editions, shipping boxes for online sales. We also design the sleeves, labels, tasting cards and matching bags.

Materials and finishes

Rigid or folding boards, papers certified for food contact, greaseproof paper or honeycomb board interiors, inserts cut to the shape of the products. Printing with organic inks, hot foil stamping, embossing, odourless varnish, plastic-free windows where possible. Each material is chosen so that it passes nothing to the product, neither smell nor taste.

Eco-design

Food packaging is discarded quickly, so it must be light, recyclable and as plastic-free as possible. We favour mono-material board structures, organic inks, varnishes and laminations compatible with recycling, solvent-free glues. We design formats that protect well with the minimum of material.

From brief to delivery

Study based on your actual products: dimensions, weight, fragility, storage temperature, sales channel. Structure proposals, zero-series mock-up to test the insert with the products, printed prototype, then production with a selected partner and inspection. We plan deliveries around your peak seasons: year-end, Easter, Valentine's Day.

Quantities, lead times and budget

From a limited series for a chef to the volumes of a house present in several countries. Minimum quantities depend on structure and materials and are stated in the quotation. For the festive season, the study must start several months ahead. We optimise costs by rationalising the formats of a range and anticipating print runs.

Who we work with

Chocolatiers, pastry chefs, chefs and restaurants, wine and spirits houses, delicatessens, caterers, hotels, premium food brands. Esprit du Luxe designs gourmet gift boxes from Geneva and has already worked with recognised chefs and houses.
