An advent calendar is 24 small packaging problems in one box: each compartment has to hold its item, stay shut until its day, and open without tearing the next one. This build uses a rigid outer with a fitted tray and individually numbered doors.
It is used for confectionery, snack and pet treat calendars, and any size, compartment count or artwork can be customised.

What this box does for the product inside it
Numbered compartments open independently
Each door opens without disturbing the neighbouring cells, which is the usual failure on cheap calendars.
Rigid outer for a tall format
2mm grey board keeps a wide calendar flat instead of bowing on a shelf.
Fitted tray sized to the treat
Cavities are cut to your actual product so treats do not migrate between cells.
Large printed area
The face of a calendar is the artwork, and full colour printing covers it edge to edge.
Works for food and pet lines
The same structure runs for confectionery and pet treats with a tray change.
Problems it solves
Doors tearing on the first open
Die-cut perforation is specified for the board weight rather than copied from a thinner stock.
Treats moving between compartments
The tray is cut from the real product so each cell holds its item.
Calendars bowing on shelf
A rigid laminated outer holds a large flat face.

Quality control

Before you send artwork
- Send treat samples so cell dimensions are cut to the real item

Questions about this box
What is the MOQ?
1000 pcs, or 500 pcs per size and colour across variants.
How many compartments can I have?
Compartment count and cell size are customised to your product; send samples of the treat so the tray is cut correctly.
Is it suitable for pet treats?
Yes. The same structure runs for pet treats with a tray specified for the treat shape.
When should I place a seasonal order?
Mass production takes 20 to 25 days after payment, plus 5 to 7 days for the sample, so allow for artwork rounds before your ship date.

Yes, numbering, language and layout are all part of the artwork.

Paper or vacuum-formed plastic, chosen for the treat shape and your market requirements.
