Hi

im making my own favour boxes, i kaeep making trials but just dont no which thickness card to use. has anyone else done this?

im getting so confused. just ordered some 260 gsm? and its not what i expected but will it do?

i want it sturdy enough to hold a few chocolates and also look a bit more proffessional

please ladies what has everyone else used.

    "260 gsm" is the weight of the paper, the higher gsm the thicker it is. Normal photocopier paper is 80gsm if that gives you an idea for thickness.

    Unless you have a particular design in mind, is there any reason an 'off the shelf' item won't work?

    What about something like these - http://www.cameoweddingfavours.co.uk/tuxedos.html at 10 for £2.80 - I've seen a black suit equivalent in 10 packs in Poundland.

    We're using organza bags in bulk from these people who also do bulk boxes - http://www.cameoweddingfavours.co.uk/allinonekits.html
