Gift Boxes and Packaging

Features and Types

Rigid cardboard boxes: panettone holders, small boxes and gift sets

Cardboard boxes are the broadest offering in the collection. Scotton offers a range designed for Christmas and year-round use: the panettone holder boxes (size 210×210×220 mm, Gold Fibre finish) accommodate tall leavened goods without deforming; the small boxes with string in size 80×80×80 mm (pack of 10 pcs, beige colour) are practical for wedding favours and small ceremonial gifts; the silk gift set in bordeaux (330×100×100 mm) adapts to elongated packaging such as single bottles or cosmetics.

For those seeking a combined solution, the Scotton panettone and bottle box (330×250×350 mm, White Forest graphics) is designed to hold both a leavened good and a 750 ml bottle in a single coordinated Christmas packaging.

Baskets and shoppers for gift compositions

I Scotton glued baskets (sizes 400×300×120 mm and 450×350×120 mm) have a rigid base and straight sides: they hold compositions with multiple products without bending. Available both in the Christmas version "Green Forest" and in neutral beige for year-round use.

The ARPIMEX Christmas shoppers with Atelier Multicolor print cover three sizes — 18×23×10 cm, 26×32×10 cm and 31×41×12 cm — and adapt respectively to small gadgets, medium packages and voluminous gifts.

The Piovaccari jute sack (H 50 cm, width 35 cm) is a natural alternative to synthetic bags, suitable for rustic compositions or packaging with eco-conscious appeal.

Filling materials: wood shavings and straw

To secure and present the contents, Piennepi PNP Plast Italy offers wood shavings in sizes of 1 kg and 4.5 kg (beige colour) and transparent shavings of 4.5 kg. The transparent synthetic version maintains volume and shape even after compression and can be reused, unlike natural straw which tends to crumble. Beige shavings pair well with beige baskets, transparent ones work best under coloured packages without covering them.

How to Choose the Right Packaging

For Christmas — if your gift includes a panettone, go for Scotton panettone boxes in standard sizes (500 g, 750 g, 1 kg). If you want to add a bottle, the White Forest combination box is already sized for both. For a coordinated presentation, pair an ARPIMEX shopper in the appropriate size and complete with beige or transparent shavings on the bottom. You'll find a wide selection also in the section dedicated to boxes for Christmas packages.

For ceremonies (wedding, christening, communion) — the Scotton small boxes with string in 80×80×80 mm size are ideal for small wedding favours. The bordeaux silk gift set lends itself instead to medium-sized single gifts, such as a bottle or a gourmet product. If you're looking for specific containers for confetti, also consult the confetti boxes.

For corporate gift baskets — Scotton baskets in beige (neutral, without seasonal graphics) can be used year-round. Choose the size based on the number of products: the 400×300 mm for 3-4 medium items, the 450×350 mm for more elaborate compositions. Complete the packaging with coordinated gift wrap to finish the presentation.

For products to carry while travelling or by hand — ARPIMEX shoppers with integrated handles are practical for gifts to deliver directly: available in three sizes, they cover everything from small gadgets to bulky packages.

For bottles — if you're looking for a specific solution, the bottle boxes include models designed for 750 ml sizes, single or multiple.

For the broader packaging context — bags, ribbons, labels — you can explore the section packaging and gift packaging.

FAQ

Which boxes are suitable for 1 kg panettone?

Scotton panettone boxes in the 210×210×220 mm size are sized to accommodate tall leavened goods up to 1 kg. They come in rigid cardboard with Christmas graphics (Gold Fibre) or in neutral beige version.

How do I match shavings and box for an organised basket?

Piennepi PNP Plast Italy beige shavings pair well with Scotton beige baskets for a uniform natural effect. The transparent version works better under coloured or individually packaged products, as it doesn't alter the colour perception of the contents.

Do Piovaccari jute sacks hold heavy products?

The Piovaccari jute sack (H 50 cm, 35 cm width) is suitable for light or medium compositions: single bottles, bags of dry products, small baskets. For very heavy items (more than 2-3 kg) a rigid basket with glued base is preferable.

Are there neutral packages to use year-round, not just at Christmas?

Yes. Scotton baskets in beige, small boxes with beige string, the bordeaux silk gift set and shoppers in neutral format are suitable for gifts, favours and corporate packages in any season, without seasonal graphics.

Can I also use these boxes for artisanal or packaged food products?

Scotton boxes and baskets are suitable for pre-packaged products (jars, sealed bags, bottles). The transparent bags in the collection are suitable for packaged products, not for direct contact with loose foodstuffs. To pair food products such as wooden gift cutting boards, also check the bamboo wooden cutting board Regalo Italiano available in the L'Arcolaio catalogue.

At L'Arcolaio we select the packages we use and recommend to our customers: each format is chosen to meet concrete needs, from ceremonies to corporate baskets, from Christmas to everyday use.
