The cavity inside Custom Macaron Boxes should support the macaron near its stronger edge without squeezing the shell. A loose row allows pieces to roll and knock together. A tight row can scrape the decoration. It may also press on the filled centre.
Measure diameter and filled thickness
Record the finished diameter, total thickness from shell to shell and any decoration that extends beyond the edge. Measure several macarons rather than one ideal piece because handmade products can vary.
The tray should allow for normal variation without using heavy pressure. Taller fillings may also need extra space between rows.
Choose flat or upright presentation
Flat cavities show the top shell. They work well when colour, speckling or printed decoration is the main detail. They also reduce side pressure between pieces.
An upright row creates a neat flavour sequence. It also suits a long, narrow carton. However, the divider spacing must allow for the widest filled section. Custom Macaron Boxes also need enough height above the shell edge.
Match counts to real orders
Custom Macaron Boxes can hold two, four, six, eight, twelve or another count that matches real orders. Small counts suit favours and tastings, while larger layouts suit gifting and catering. A compact fit uses less filler and feels more deliberate.
Illustrative twelve-piece fit correction
Consider a box with two rows of six. In the first layout, every opening matches the nominal macaron diameter. Slightly larger pieces catch during removal. Smaller ones lean into each other.
A better insert adds controlled tolerance, supports the lower edge and leaves finger space at both ends. The products then become easier to load and remove.
