Custom Favor Boxes for Weddings, Birthdays & Events

Why Goodie Boxes Are Trending Again (But Better)

Search trends show growing demand for:

• Custom party favors
• Goodie boxes
• Treat boxes
• Gift boxes
• Goody box
• Surprise package
• Wedding favors
• Bridal shower favors
• Baby shower favors
• Swag bags

But today’s goodie boxes look very different than they did a decade ago.

Instead of plastic party bags filled with random trinkets, modern hosts are creating curated surprise packages — beautifully packaged keepsakes guests actually want to take home.

Après Ski Party Favors: The New Luxury Trend

Après ski parties have become one of the most sought-after winter event themes — whether you’re hosting in the mountains or bringing alpine vibes to your backyard.

Popular party favors for après ski events include:

• Gourmet hot cocoa kits in gable boxes
• Mini champagne bottles in custom gable boxes
• Custom knit beanies in mailer boxes
• Artisan chocolate in mailer boxes
• Luxury lip balm or skincare in product boxes

Packaging these in a custom printed boxes instantly elevates the experience.

Premium white corrugated boxes with bold winter graphics, interior printed messaging, or a minimalist alpine design create a high-end look — while also putting the planet first. Traditional plastic goody bags are throw away environmental waste. DIYpack corrugated boxes are made with up to 99% recycled material and are 100% curbside recyclable so you do not have to worry about the footprint you are making on the planet.

And because DIYpack offers fast 5–7 business day turnaround, you can execute seasonal themes with quick production times to get your boxes fast.

Wedding Favors, Bridal Shower & Baby Shower Favors — With a Modern Twist

While weddings have their own spotlight, celebrations leading up to the big day are becoming just as curated.

Bridal shower favors, baby shower favors, and engagement party treats are increasingly styled as cohesive design moments.

Modern ideas include:

• Custom candle gift boxes
• Mini dessert gable boxes
• Personalized skincare sets in custom mailer box
• Champagne or mocktail kits in custom gable boxes
• Curated snack boxes

Instead of simple favor bags, hosts are opting for sleek custom gift boxes that double as décor and keepsakes.

Luxury Birthday & Milestone Party Favors

Milestone events are becoming design-driven experiences.

40th birthdays. 50th birthdays. Sweet 16s. Private estate dinners. High-end themed parties.

Guests now expect curated take-home gifts — often packaged as structured goody boxes or premium treat boxes.

Think:

• Custom cocktail kits in a gable box
• Branded glassware in a gable box
• Specialty desserts in a mailer box
• Limited-edition merchandise in a mailer box
• Personalized keepsakes in a product box

The right custom packaging turns a simple favor into a keepsake-worthy surprise package.

Interior printing adds a personal thank-you message, event date, or custom artwork — creating a layered unboxing moment.

Corporate Events & Swag Bags — Reinvented

Corporate gifting has evolved far beyond the standard tote bag.

While swag bags are still common at conferences and launches, brands are increasingly upgrading to structured custom gift boxes for:

• Executive retreats
• Product launches
• Influencer mailers
• Brand activations
• Holiday gifting

Instead of loosely packed merchandise, a printed corrugated gift box delivers impact, structure, and sustainability.

And because DIYpack uses digital printing (no plates required), brands can create vibrant, limited-run packaging without excessive setup fees.

Eco-conscious events are no longer niche — they’re expected.

Modern hosts are searching for:

• Sustainable party favors
• Eco-friendly gift boxes
• Recyclable treat boxes

DIYpack specializes in custom corrugated packaging that is:

• 100% curbside recyclable
• Right-sized to reduce waste
• Digitally printed (no plate waste)
• Produced with fast turnaround
• Made in the USA

You don’t have to sacrifice design for sustainability.

Treat Boxes vs. Gift Boxes: What’s the Difference?

When planning custom party favors, the box style helps shape the experience.

Choose Treat Boxes Like Gable Boxes If:

• You’re packaging desserts or small curated items
• The event is playful or theme-driven
• You want compact, easy-to-carry favors

Choose Gift Boxes Like Mailer Boxes:

• The contents are higher-value
• You want a premium unboxing experience
• Items need structure or protection
• You’re shipping favors ahead of time

Both can be fully customized — printed outside, inside, or both — with your event branding.
