Features and Types of Scotton Accessories
Scotton produces containers and complementary items for wedding favors intended for ceremonies: weddings, baptisms, communions, and anniversaries. The products in the catalog on L'Arcolaioare divided into several distinct macro-categories.
Small Boxes and Candy Holders
This is the broadest category. Scotton's small candy boxescome in two main graphic families:
- Elephant Line(pink or blue): cardboard printed with an elephant motif, designed for baptisms. Available in cubic format 5×5×5 cm, flat gift box 7×7×3 cm, and shopbox 9×9×14 cm — all sold in packs of 10.
- Green Weave Line: cardboard with green hot-foil printing, available as a 5×5×5 cm box, a gift box with insert 10×10×3.5 cm, and a shopbox with PLA window 16×8×14 cm.
- Ivory/Gold Tree Line: neutral tones suitable for weddings or winter ceremonies, with a shopper variant featuring green intertwined tree strings.
For those looking for neutral and modular formats, Scotton also produces the hexagonal box with dividerin white (available in three sizes: 60×40 mm, 80×55 mm, and 110×60 mm) and the practical box with dividerin a square format.
Shoppers and Shopboxes
Scotton shoppers— such as the Shopper Cordino Intrecci Alberi Verdi 19.5×9.5×17 cm— are gift bags with a string handle, ideal as an outer packaging for wedding favors. Available in packs of 10.
The shopboxescombine the practicality of a box with the shape of a shopper: the Shopbox Intrecci Verde Finestra PLAmodel is partially made of PLA, a bioplastic derived from corn starch, and has a transparent front window that makes the contents visible.
Bows and Decorations
Scotton satin bowscomplete the packaging. Available in blue and pink (size 60×70 mm / 6×7 cm), they can be applied to small boxes or shoppers. Sold in packs of 12. They are a practical accessory to standardize the visual appearance of all the table favors without having to purchase separate ribbons.
Cones, Cases, and Other Formats
For those distributing loose confetti during the reception, Scotton offers mini transparent cones(100×H100 mm, pack of 10) and transparent casesin three sizes (50×30×20 mm, 60×40×20 mm, and 90×30×20 mm). These formats are widely used for wedding confetti or communion favors when you want to show the color of the confetti. To match a coordinated candy bar, you can also explore Maxtris confettiavailable on L'Arcolaio in numerous color and flavor variations.
Among the special formats, we find the transparent cake slice(105×105×90 mm) — a small box shaped like a slice of cake — and the cake slice box(80×45×50 mm), perfect for a thematic wedding setup.
Small Cards and Tags
Scotton also produces place card tagsand personalized tags. The catalog includes a card for the 50th anniversary(42×25 mm, 10 pcs) and the pink Elephant tag box(5.5×3.5×10 cm), also sold as a single piece for those who need mixed quantities.
How to Choose the Right Scotton Accessories
For Baptisms
Choose the Elephant line: the graphic motif is recognizable and suitable for children. Blue is traditionally used for boys, pink for girls. Combine the 5×5×5 cm box for confetti + a satin bow of the same color + the 9×9×14 cm shopbox if you also want to include a gift item.
For Weddings
The Green Weaveand Ivory/Gold Treelines offer more neutral palettes suitable for elegant tables. The white hexagonal box with a divider is suitable when the favor is a small item (e.g., a pack of Maxtris confetti or a pendant) to be displayed neatly. For a more modern look, the shopbox with a PLA windowmakes the contents visible without opening the package.
For Communions
Transparent cases and mini cones are the quickest and most economical choice for distributing confetti during the reception. If you want a complete package to hand out, the cubic box in the neutral white line is easily customizable with a small card and a bow.
How many packs should I order?
All Scotton items are sold in multiples of 10 (or 12 for bows). Calculate the number of guests and always add 10–15% extra for last-minute additions. Do you need different formats? You can order multiple items from the same graphic line to maintain aesthetic consistency across the table, pairing different sized candy holders with coordinated cases and bows.
FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions about Scotton Accessories
Are Scotton boxes already assembled or do they need to be assembled?
Most Scotton products arrive flat, ready to be folded and assembled. This reduces volume during transport and facilitates storage. Assembly is quick and does not require glue: the tabs interlock.
How many favors can I prepare with a pack of 10 pcs?
A Scotton pack of 10 pieces corresponds to 10 favors. If you have 80 guests, you need 8 packs of the same size. For bows (sold in packs of 12), 7 packs cover 84 guests.
Can I combine Scotton boxes with Maxtris confetti?
Yes. The dimensions of the cubic boxes (5×5×5 cm) and cases are calibrated to hold standard confetti. The Green Weave line pairs well with natural colors, while the neutral white boxes adapt to any confetti tone. You can find all varieties in the Maxtris confettisection of our shop.
Are PLA products recyclable?
PLA (polylactic acid) is a bioplastic compostable in industrial facilities. The Green Weave shopbox with PLA windowuses this material for the front window. For proper disposal, check your municipality's instructions.
Does Scotton also produce containers for graduation or confirmation favors?
The L'Arcolaio catalog includes neutral formats (white boxes, transparent cases, cones) suitable for any occasion, including graduation and confirmation. The 50th anniversary cardis designed for golden weddings. For specific ceremonies, choose white or transparent formats that can be easily customized with a themed card.
