Engraved Silver Chinese Takeout Box*
These silver plated Chinese takeout boxes are the perfect containers to hold candies or a small gift.
This Chinese takeout box is not for leftovers, but has been replicated and transformed into a trinket box to be filled with precious confections or trinkets. The familiar carton silhouette is all there, including the sturdy handle for holding, only now it is silver plated and small enough to hold in one hand.
These silver plated takeout box favors are the perfect container to hold candies or a small gift for your guests. The lid easily opens to reveal the treats inside, which is half the pleasure: guests lift the handle, open the top and find what you tucked in there. Fill it with chocolate almonds, fortune cookies, Jordan almonds, a pair of cufflinks for the groomsmen, a charm, a folded note or the first scratch-off ticket of the night. Set one at each place setting, and the table is half decorated before the first course arrives.
An Asian themed wedding or party is not complete without these silver take out boxes. Have a special message engraved on the front to make it a keepsake to remember. Personalization is included, and the engraving is done in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999, so your names, your date or a short line of thanks is cut into the silver plating rather than printed on a label that peels off in a purse.
That is the difference between a favor and a keepsake. A paper box goes in the recycling on the way out. This one goes on a shelf, a desk or a dresser and keeps rings, earrings, cufflinks, guitar picks or paper clips for years, with your wedding date still on the front.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give your guests something worth carrying home.
size: 2-3/4"L x 2-1/4"W x 2-1/4"H

Which one should I choose
Most shoppers planning an Asian themed reception are choosing between a keepsake favor container and a disposable one.
| Engraved Silver Chinese Takeout Box | Choose it when the favor should survive the night: silver plated, engraved on the front, and useful afterwards as a trinket box. |
|---|---|
| A paper or cardboard takeout box favor | Choose it only when the container is meant to be thrown away; it will not hold trinkets or carry your names past the reception. |
| Other Asian Wedding Favors in the collection | Choose one of those when you want a themed favor that is not a container, and pair it with these boxes on the same table. |
If you want guests to take the favor home and keep using it, the Engraved Silver Chinese Takeout Box is the pick.
