Premium confectionery packaging boxes
Brief № 004 · For Confectionery & Chocolate Brands

Surgical precision
for your chocolates. At 45% less cost.

A truffle arrives crushed. A bar arrives cracked. Your customer never orders again. Confectionery brands lose thousands of repeat buyers every year to packaging that wasn’t built for delicate product. We fix that — and cut your packaging spend by £43,000–£110,000 a year.

Are we right for you?

Two questions before
we run your forecast.

We're built for planners — brands ordering 5,000+ units with 9–10 weeks of runway. If that's not you, we'll point you somewhere better and stop wasting your time.

Question 01

When do you need stock?

Question 02

What did you spend on packaging last year?

§01 — The Damaged-Truffle Problem

One crushed
truffle.
One lost customer.

A truffle arrives damaged. The customer takes a photo, posts it, requests a refund — and never orders again. This happens thousands of times a year across UK confectionery brands.

Standard mailers and generic void-fill aren’t precise enough for delicate confectionery. Truffles bruise. Pralines crack. Bars fracture along the temper line. Bonbons slide out of unfitted cavities and arrive smeared. Every one of those parcels costs you twice — once in replacement product, once in lost lifetime value from a customer who won’t risk a second order.

And the irony is that you’re already paying premium prices for packaging that doesn’t do the job. Most confectionery brands buy generic cartons from one supplier, generic inserts from another, and pay specialist rates on top — all for a setup that still lets the product move in transit.

Industry damage rate (standard packaging)8–12%
Refund + replacement cost per claim~£18
Repeat-purchase rate after damaged delivery11%
Repeat-purchase rate after perfect delivery62%
Lost lifetime value per damaged parcel£140+
§03 — The Outcome

Perfect arrival.
Lower cost.
Higher repeat rate.

Switching to confectionery-specific packaging produces three measurable outcomes — every time, on every brand we’ve worked with. The numbers below are averages, not best-case scenarios.

94%
Fewer damage claims

Cavity-fitted inserts and correctly-specced board eliminate movement. Damage rates drop from 8–12% to under 1%.

40–50%
Lower packaging spend

Specialist confectionery packaging at the price of generic. Same protection. Same compliance. Half the invoice.

£72,500
Annual saving at 50,000 units

On top of fewer refunds, fewer reships, and a measurable lift in repeat-order rate from happier first-time buyers.

5.2×
Repeat purchase uplift

Customers who receive a perfect first parcel reorder at over five times the rate of those who receive damage.

Real brands. Real savings.
Real reinvestment.

This isn't a client testimonial. This is our own brand. We built PackageHubSupply because of what we discovered running Zamy Skincare. These are our actual numbers.

"We were spending £38,950 every time we needed to restock both product lines. That same order now costs £17,500 — and we receive 2,000 extra units on top. In year one we saved enough to fund our next product launch without raising a single pound of external capital. PackageHubSupply is the supply chain we wish had existed when we started Zamy. Now it does."
