WHAT IS AN ADVENT CALENDAR?
An Advent calendar is a countdown to Christmas, traditionally marking the days from the start of Advent or from 1st December until Christmas Eve. Each compartment or numbered door is opened day by day to reveal a treat or small gift inside.
Modern Advent calendars take many forms, from chocolate calendars to food and artisan gifting formats, and our empty Advent calendar boxes allow you to design your own version with full creative control.
THE HISTORY OF THE ADVENT CALENDAR
The tradition began in 19th-century Germany, where families marked the approach of Christmas with chalk lines or candles.
These early practices developed into printed calendars with small windows, and later into the first chocolate Advent calendars in the early 20th century.
Today, makers and small-batch producers continue the tradition by creating customised Advent calendars designed to feel personal, thoughtful and handcrafted rather than mass-produced.
THE COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS STARTS WITH OUR ADVENT CALENDAR BOXES
Preparation for Christmas begins early for our customers, which is why our self-fill Advent calendars and empty Advent calendar packaging are consistent best sellers. Thousands are ordered each year by chocolatiers, artisan food brands and makers producing limited-edition festive ranges.
With a wide choice of sizes, inserts and finishes available, you can choose Advent calendar boxes that align with your brand and budget. As a leading UK specialist in Advent calendar packaging, we offer high standards of manufacture, reliable service and the option to create a bespoke or custom Advent calendar tailored to your range.
You can choose eco-friendly, recyclable board or a more deluxe rigid option, giving you flexibility over the style and presentation of your countdown calendar.
CUSTOMISE YOUR ADVENT CALENDAR BOX
Bring your design to life by supplying your own artwork, and we will create a proof for you free of charge. Simply send an editable high-resolution PDF or AI file (300 dpi) and we will take care of the rest.
The minimum run is 250 units, and you can choose from premium or eco-friendly finishes depending on your range. If you prefer to personalise a stock design instead, we can add a logo, text or a single-colour motif to reflect your brand. Get in touch for a free quote.
