Why it matters

The box is the first gift.

A hamper is opened in front of the person who receives it, so presentation is everything.

🛡️

Holds everything in place

The right box and filler stop jars, bottles and treats moving in transit.

💸

Justifies the price

A premium box makes a hamper feel generous and worth what you charge.

🎁

Becomes a keepsake

Magnetic boxes are often kept and reused, so your brand stays in the home.

What to look for

What hamper packaging must do.

Hampers mix heavy jars, bottles and delicate treats, so the packaging has to be strong and beautiful.

✓

Strength

The base needs to carry bottles and jars without bowing when lifted.

✓

The right depth

Deep enough to hold tall items, shallow enough to show off the contents.

✓

Plenty of filler

Shredded paper lifts small items and stops everything moving.

✓

A premium finish

Magnetic lids, ribbon and raffia make the moment of opening special.

✓

Delivery protection

Ship hampers inside an outer carton so the presentation box arrives perfect.

Buying guide

Tips from packaging experts.

Practical advice for hamper businesses.

Standardise your sizes

Build your hamper range around two or three box sizes. It makes stock, pricing and packing much simpler.

Pack tall items first

Place bottles and tall jars at the back, then build forward with smaller items lifted on filler.

Offer branded corporate options

Custom printed ribbon with a client's logo turns a standard hamper into a corporate gift.

Order early for Christmas

Corporate Christmas orders start early. Secure boxes, filler and ribbon months ahead.

FAQs

Hamper packaging questions.

Can't find your answer? Call 03 8689 9344 or contact us.

What size hamper box do I need?
Lay out your contents and measure the footprint and the tallest item, then choose a box with a little room to spare for filler. Most hamper businesses stock two or three standard sizes.
What's the best filler for hampers?
Shredded kraft paper is the most popular. It cushions items, lifts small products into view and gives a natural look.
Are magnetic hamper boxes worth it?
For premium and corporate hampers, yes. They feel luxurious, close neatly and are often kept and reused.
Can I add a client's logo to corporate hampers?
Yes. Custom printed ribbon and custom labels are an easy way to brand hampers for corporate clients.
How should I deliver hampers?
Ship hampers inside an outer shipping box with filler so the presentation box arrives without dents.
Do you deliver Australia-wide?
Yes, we deliver Australia-wide. Stock orders typically dispatch within 1–3 business days, and we offer Click & Collect from Thomastown, VIC.
