Sizing & dieline.

Every Thanksgiving Food Boxes is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.

03
Give us the order

We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

✦ Not sure of your size? Send us the product — we measure it and build the dieline.

What It Costs

Pricing & minimums.

Thanksgiving Food Boxes is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

— Frequently Asked Questions —

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about Thanksgiving Food Boxes.

Thanksgiving purchases are gift purchases — customers evaluate packaging as part of the gift value, not just as a container. A product in beautiful thanksgiving packaging is perceived as a more complete gift than the same product in standard packaging, supporting price premiums of 20–40% for seasonal editions. Brands that invest in seasonal packaging consistently outperform generic alternatives during peak gifting windows.
For Thanksgiving programs, begin packaging discussions in August–September to allow for design approval, production lead time (15–20 business days), and delivery buffer before the seasonal program launch date. Rushed seasonal packaging consistently results in lower quality outcomes.
Evolutionary design — maintaining core brand identity while refreshing the seasonal artwork year over year — creates anticipation without requiring complete design investment annually. Some brands create collectible seasonal designs that customers actively look for each year. Rotating color palettes, illustrative themes, or character elements within a consistent brand framework achieves annual freshness efficiently.
