What to look for in a corporate gift box
Buying two hundred gift boxes is a different exercise from buying one. The things that matter are boring and logistical, and almost none of them are about how the sweet tastes. Here is the checklist we would want someone to work through before ordering from us or from anyone else.
Posted 11 September 2026
1. Ask for the shelf life in writing
This is the one people skip and then regret. Boxes go out over a fortnight, sit on desks, travel home in bags, and get opened whenever. If the shelf life is short and nobody said so, a proportion of your gift is eaten past its best and your company's name is on it.
Ours is three months from the date of making for the bites, brittles and boxes, and six months for the trail mix and Nutri Masala Crunch. Ask whoever you are buying from for the same number, and be suspicious of anything that keeps for a year without a stated reason.
2. Work out the dietary spread
In any office of size you have people avoiding refined sugar, people who are vegetarian, people with nut allergies. You cannot solve all of it with one box, and pretending otherwise is how a gift ends up in a bin.
What you can do is know what you are sending and say so. Everything we make is vegetarian and made without refined sugar or jaggery. Nuts run right through the range, which matters more than the rest — if you have colleagues with nut allergies, ask us product by product before you order rather than assuming one of the boxes will be safe.
3. Decide packaging before you decide quantity
Packaging is usually the part that gets settled last and causes the most delay. It is also the part with the longest lead time, especially anything printed or embossed. We sell the packaging ranges separately — paper gift bags, hamper boxes, potli bags and a range of wooden hamper boxes — and they are quoted per order rather than listed at a price, because it depends on quantity and on what is going inside. Both catalogues are on the gifting page.
4. Get the timing from the recipient's calendar, not yours
The question is not when you want to send them. It is the last working day before your recipients disperse. Work backwards from that: transit time, dispatch time, and the days you need to pack and label. Our delivery page has current dispatch and transit figures to work with.
5. Ask for one sample box first
Order one. Open it the way a recipient would. It is a small cost against a few hundred boxes and it catches the things a photograph does not — how it feels in the hand, whether the box survives being carried, whether the quantity looks generous or mean when the lid comes off.
6. Get the paperwork right
For a company purchase you will want a proper GST invoice with your GSTIN on it, and you will want to agree that before the order rather than chase it after. We issue one against every paid order. If you need a quote first for an internal approval, ask — we can send a priced document up front so there are no surprises.
Where to start
Message us on WhatsApp with your headcount, your date and whether packaging is part of it. Those three things are enough for us to come back with something sensible.
