When packaging carries more than a product – when it carries emotion – handmade work becomes truly meaningful. We as a professional paper box manufacturer in China, have spent more than 2 decades in producing and exporting custom paper boxes, and among them, our handcrafted heart-shaped box series has become one of our favorites.
Every box is shaped, glued, and finished by real hands, not just machines – because some things are simply better made with patience.
1. Handcrafted Precision: Every Curve Made by Real Hands
Each heart-shaped box goes through over a dozen manual steps. Many team members have been with us 5–10 years. They work with steady hands and trained eyes to ensure every curve is smooth and consistent.
Here’s a look at what actually happens in production:
- Tooling Preparation – We prepare the heart-shape forming tooling and the pressing mold.
- Hand shaping – We lightly soften the greyboard and shape it by hand inside a custom heart mold. This lets us form the curves and outline accurately before moving to wrapping.
- Paper wrapping – We apply the wrapping paper onto the shaped greyboard and use a semi-automatic bubble-pressing machine to push out excess air, strengthen the adhesion, and refine the heart-shape curves.
- Inner lining – We line the inside of the heart box with the help of assistant tooling, ensuring the lining follows the curves neatly and fits tightly into place.
It’s a slow process compared to machines – but that’s exactly why the result feels special.
2. Premium Materials That Look Good and Feel Good
We select materials not only for their appearance but also for how they behave during hand forming.
Moreover, our heart-shaped boxes are made from premium materials.
-300–500g food-grade kraft paper
-White card / C1S paper
-Specialty art paper for luxury designs
We test each batch of paper before production to check folding resistance, fiber strength, and glue absorption – because even small differences can affect curved shapes.
What this means for you:
*Safe for chocolates, cookies, and small gifts
*Strong enough to protect delicate items
*Smooth, high-quality surface ideal for printing or foil stamping
Perfect for Valentine’s Day gifts, weddings, proposals, anniversaries, or boutique product packaging.

In addition, we offer full customization options.
- Sizes – Customized sizes to fit your product exactly.

4. Handmade Craftsmanship That Shows
In today’s fast-production world, handmade packaging stands out.
Every heart-shaped box carries the marks of patience, skill, and the human touch – something machines simply can’t imitate.
At Xiamen Chief Color Co., Ltd., we are proud of the small things:
the clean edges, the smooth curves, the way the paper fits perfectly without wrinkles. These details tell the story of the people who made the box.
We will continue improving our handmade techniques and offering flexible customization – so your packaging not only protects your product but makes it more meaningful.
