Many different boxes

When it comes to candy, there are many different ways for it to be presented. There are heart-shaped boxes that people will give to their significant other on a special occasion. There are the standard boxes that have the label printed on them, so you know what kind of candy is inside of it generally in all stores. Also, boxes with clear windows so you are able to see the total amount of product inside. The thing is, candy can come in many different kinds of packages, but they all do the same thing, show off the product or show the amount. 

Heart-shaped boxes are excellent for giving as a gift to a significant other. These boxes usually have chocolates inside of them, generally a variety of chocolates, giving them the name ‘chocolate boxes.’ With no window on them or way to view the contents, so it is good that the product is the same. Most of the time, these boxes show up in stores around Valentine’s day as most people are lazy and give this box with some flowers to their significant other on that day. I believe people should be showing the care they have for one another all the time and not settle for a box of chocolates, but that is just my opinion. 

Another kind of box with candy in it are the standard ones we see at the checkout lines in stores. These boxes are cheaply made. They are very flimsy, much like paperboard boxes. These boxes are just suitable for displaying a kind of candy, but that is about it. It is helpful for us consumers to have that box for branding thought as the big names and stand-out colors are eye-catching. Everyone knows that a recess would be in an orange box with black lettering. The use of these boxes are for a marketing medium is stupendous as they will have a long shelf life, and as I mentioned earlier, it makes the consumer’s job more accessible as it is easier to find your desired candy.

Finally, there are boxes with clear windows. These boxes usually have the most product inside of them. The window allows the shopper to look into the box and see how much candy is in it and what kind of product is in the box. The windows make it very beneficial for the candy manufacturer, too, as they can flaunt their yummy colorful candies in the consumer’s face making it hard to resist. These boxes are usually made from cheap cardboard or craft paper, thus resulting in a low production cost and very easy to make. 

There are numerous kinds of candy boxes on the market and even more that can be made up from the imagination. With the limitless types of candy,d there is no reason the production of boxes for them will cease to exist or stop inviting new packaging. An additional box I have not discussed is laser-cut boxes. These boxes are very unique as they can have endless designs on them. Unfortunately, they are left open to the elements. If a company could make laser-cut boxes paired with windowed boxes, I believe that the company would do very well from a visual perspective. With so many different packages, from heart-shaped to ones with windows for our viewing pleasure yet, I choose to stick with the old faithful plain box with a logo.
