Corporate Mishloach Manot: Purim Gift Tins for Staff and Clients
A company that sends mishloach manot to its staff and customers has a different problem from a household. The household needs twenty parcels and can improvise. The company needs hundreds or thousands, all alike, all carrying its name, and all handed out by one fixed date — in practice at work, in the days just before Purim. This article is about the container for that job. It is written for the gift companies, caterers and confectioners who assemble corporate Purim orders, and for the organisations large enough to buy the packaging themselves.
Why a tin for a company gift
Three practical reasons. The first is that mishloach manot is by definition several things in one parcel — at least two different ready-to-eat foods — and a tin holds them together without crushing them. The second is the journey: a rigid box is made for a courier, a post room and the boot of a car. The third is what happens the day after. A printed tin with a company’s mark on the lid stays on a desk or in a kitchen long after the hamantaschen are gone, and that is the part of a corporate gift the sender is really paying for.
Three formats built for a filled gift
In our Purim range three sizes are meant for a filled gift rather than a single product:
- 345 × 225 × 130 mm: the hamper, our deepest gift box.
- 240 × 140 × 70 mm: the deep rectangle, for a mixed assortment.
- 190 × 135 × 60 mm: the mid-size box, with room for two or three different items.
The smaller tins in the range, Ø133 × 85 mm and Ø99 × 60 mm, do the other corporate job: a small gift in large numbers, one on every desk. All of them are moulds we already own, so there is no tooling cost and no tooling wait.
A company name on the lid, three ways
The blank cartouche. One design in the range was drawn for exactly this. On the 345 × 225 × 130 mm box — midnight navy with a fine gold border — a gold oval under a small crown is left empty on purpose. A logo, a greeting or a dedication prints into that frame. It is the fastest route to a branded Purim gift, because the mould and the artwork both already exist.
A name alongside the pattern. The other five ready-made designs can take a name or a logo on the lid next to the pattern. The design itself stays shared: it is ours, and anyone can order it. Only what you add is yours.
Your own artwork. The same moulds print with a design that is entirely yours: company colours, your own illustration, your own greeting. The timing is the same four to six weeks from approval, and that artwork is not offered to anyone else.
A practical note for gift companies that serve many clients. A name printed on the tin makes sense when one client takes the whole run. When the same tin goes to twenty clients, the usual way is to order the design without a name and let each client’s card, band or label carry it.
The numbers, stated plainly
The minimum is 5,000 pieces per design, and one order can combine several designs and sizes. That is an ordinary quantity for a gift company filling orders for many customers, for a retail chain or for a large employer. It is the wrong quantity for an office of two hundred people. If you need a few hundred parcels, the supplier you want is a gift company that buys its packaging in volume and fills it for you. If you are that gift company, this is written for you.
What goes inside is yours
We make the packaging, not the gift, and two things follow from that. Kashrut is certified on the food, and the certificate belongs to whoever fills the tin; what we issue for the tin is a food-contact declaration of conformity, for a tin with a food-grade lacquer inside, made under an ISO 22000 food-safety system. And a decorative tin is not airtight: baked goods, chocolate and nuts go in wrapped or bagged, as they would into a carton. Both points are covered in more detail in our Purim planning guide.
The calendar, with one extra step
Purim is fixed in the Hebrew calendar, so its civil date moves: 23 March in 2027, 12 March in 2028, 1 March in 2029. Printed tins are ready four to six weeks after the artwork is approved; after that come freight and your own filling, and the parcels have to be packed and ready before the day. A company that hands its parcels out at work needs them a few days earlier still. For a Purim in March, artwork approved in December is comfortable and artwork approved in February is late.
Company orders add a step a household never has: someone has to sign off the artwork, and often more than one person. The four to six weeks start when the proof is approved, not when it is sent, so the approval round is the part of the schedule worth starting first.
Where to start
Tell us three things: which Purim you are ordering for, how many parcels you expect to pack, and whether you want a ready-made design or your own. The designs are on the Purim tins page, the wider picture for company gifts is on our corporate gifts page, and a request goes in from the request for quotation page.
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for corporate Purim tins?
5,000 pieces per design. One order can combine several designs and sizes from the range.
Can our company logo be printed on the tin?
Yes. One design, on the 345 × 225 × 130 mm box, has a blank gold cartouche left empty for a logo, a greeting or a dedication, and the other five ready-made designs can take a name alongside the pattern. You can also print artwork that is entirely your own on the same moulds.
We need only a few hundred parcels. Can you supply them?
Not as printed tins: the minimum is 5,000 pieces per design. For a few hundred parcels the right supplier is a gift company that buys its packaging in volume and fills it for you.
When does the artwork have to be approved?
Printed tins are ready four to six weeks after artwork approval, and freight and your own filling come after that. For a Purim in March, artwork approved in December is comfortable and artwork approved in February is late.
Are the tins kosher?
Kashrut is certified on the food, and that certificate belongs to whoever fills the tin. We make the packaging: tinplate with a food-grade lacquer inside, produced under an ISO 22000 food-safety system, with a food-contact declaration of conformity. If your certifying body needs anything more for the packaging, raise it before you order.
