Quick answer: For most gift hampers — weddings, corporate gifts and New Year — a custom rigid box with a fitted insert is the best starting point, because it presents several items together and feels like a gift when the lid lifts off. A printed mono carton suits a single retail SKU, such as one perfume bottle on a shelf. Custom rigid boxes and mono cartons are available from Zenvista on enquiry (we do not list fixed online prices, MOQs or finishes for these made-to-order packs), and we can supply the matching bottles, jars and sprays that go inside. A corrugated shipper is often needed on top for courier delivery.
Last updated: 13 November 2026. Where a catalogue price is quoted, it is the listed website price checked today, per piece at a pack of 100, excluding 18% GST and shipping (GST is added at checkout where tax applies). Custom box prices are quoted on enquiry.
This guide is about which box to choose for a hamper, and what you can pack inside it. For a side-by-side comparison of rigid boxes and mono cartons — including storage and cost trade-offs — see rigid box or mono carton? rather than repeating it here.
Which box is best for a gift hamper?
If the gift is a set of items — a perfume with an attar, a serum with a cream, or a small festive assortment — start with a rigid box. It is a set-up gift box made from thick paperboard or greyboard, wrapped in printed paper. The lid and base are already formed, so the box does not fold flat, and a fitted insert can keep bottles from rattling.
If you are packing a single product as a simpler gift or a shop-ready SKU, a mono carton (folding carton or tuck box) is usually enough. It ships flat and is the everyday carton you see on a retail shelf.
Custom hamper boxes are made to your brief and quoted on enquiry. We do not invent a standard hamper size, board or price online — share what will go inside and how many boxes you need. The construction differences are explained in rigid box or mono carton? and, for paper-based rigid boxes, in what is a mono-material rigid box?.
What box works for weddings, corporate gifts and New Year?
| Occasion | Typical hamper | Starting box |
|---|---|---|
| Weddings and favours | A small perfume or attar, sometimes with a cream or roll-on, often in a named or festive presentation | Rigid box, with a fitted insert if there is more than one item |
| Corporate and employee gifts | A consistent set that looks professional in a pile, or a single hero SKU | Rigid box for a set; mono carton if you are giving one product |
| New Year and year-end festive hampers | A 50 ml or 100 ml perfume, minis, or a skincare duo meant to be opened as a gift | Rigid box for the hamper; add a corrugated shipper for courier despatch |
| Everyday retail (not a hamper) | One bottle or jar sold on a shelf | Printed mono carton — see rigid box or mono carton? |
In each case, size the box to the actual bottle including the cap or overcap, and plan the insert around the tallest item. A 100 ml perfume and a 9 ml attar will not sit well in a box designed for one of them alone.
What should you pack inside a hamper box?
The box only works if the contents are chosen and measured first. Zenvista lists bottles, jars and sprays you can pack into a wedding, corporate or New Year hamper:
- Perfume sprays: a 100 ml U-cut bottle such as ZMS92 (₹89.60 per piece at a pack of 100, excluding 18% GST), or a 50 ml / 100 ml mist spray such as ZMG186 (₹73.60 / ₹88.00). An 8 ml travel spray such as ZMG98 (₹31.19) suits favours and discovery sets. See how to start a perfume business in India and perfume bottles.
- Attar and roll-on: ZMAR12 9 ml conical attar bottle (₹16.96) and ZMG47 10 ml amber roll-on (₹22.53). See which attar bottle is best and what a roll-on bottle is used for.
- Droppers and jars: ZMG21 amber glass bottle with gold dropper (₹19.06 for 30 ml) and ZMJ61 amber glass cream jar (₹42.24 for 50 gm). See how to start a skincare brand in India.
Catalogue bottles and jars have no minimum on the website — packs of 10, 50, 100 and 200, plus sample packs on most listings. Startup bulk usually starts at 500 pieces, standard bulk at 1,000 pieces, and colour customisation from 10,000 pieces. Those website MOQs apply to listed bottles and jars, not to custom hamper boxes, which are quoted separately.
Do you still need a shipping box for a hamper?
In most courier and e-commerce flows, yes. The rigid box is what the recipient opens; a corrugated shipper is what usually absorbs knocks on the way. White corrugated boxes in several sizes are listed in e-commerce packaging. Measure the finished hamper (including the rigid box or mono carton) before you pick a shipper size.
How do you brief a custom hamper box?
A clear brief speeds up the quote. Share at least:
- The occasion — wedding, corporate, New Year or another festive hamper — and whether it is a single SKU or a set.
- The items and dimensions — each bottle or jar including the cap, plus a sample if you have one. Mention product codes where you can (for example ZMS92 100 ml with ZMAR12 9 ml).
- Insert — whether you need a fitted paperboard or pulp insert so items do not rattle. Describe what the box must hold; do not assume a standard insert.
- Quantity and artwork — your first run, and any print or wrap you want to request. Finishes and board are specified on the quote; we do not publish a fixed menu or lead time online.

Frequently asked questions
Which box is best for a gift hamper?
A custom rigid box with a fitted insert is the usual starting point, because it holds several items together and feels like a gift when the lid lifts off. A printed mono carton is better for a single retail SKU. Custom hamper boxes are available on enquiry; we do not list fixed online prices for them.
What box should I use for a wedding or New Year hamper?
For wedding favours, bridal sets and New Year or year-end hampers, a rigid gift box is the natural presentation pack. Share the list of items, sizes and quantity when you enquire so the insert and lid can be quoted to the actual bottles and jars.
Can I use a mono carton for a corporate gift?
Yes, if you are giving a single product — for example one perfume or a cream jar in a printed tuck box. If the corporate gift is a set of items, a rigid box is usually the better presentation. The side-by-side comparison is in rigid box or mono carton?.
What bottles can I pack inside a hamper?
On the website today, examples include a 100 ml perfume spray (ZMS92 at ₹89.60), a 30 ml amber dropper (ZMG21 at ₹19.06), a 9 ml attar bottle (ZMAR12 at ₹16.96) and a 50 gm cream jar (ZMJ61 at ₹42.24), per piece at a pack of 100, excluding 18% GST.
Do I still need a shipping box for a hamper?
Often, yes. A rigid gift box is a presentation pack, not a courier carton. A corrugated shipper usually protects the hamper in transit. Sizes already listed online are in e-commerce packaging.
Can I buy the bottles and the hamper box from one supplier?
Yes. Zenvista can supply the matching perfume, attar, dropper or jar, plus a custom rigid box or mono carton on enquiry, and a corrugated shipper from the catalogue. There is no minimum on website packs of bottles and jars; startup bulk usually starts at 500 pieces and standard bulk at 1,000.
