A gourmet gift box customised with your logo is the corporate gift that leaves as strong an impression of the relationship as of the product itself. To be delivered before Christmas, the order needs to go out in October: here's how to plan it, from choosing what goes in the box to screen-printing the bottle.
Why customise a gourmet gift box for your corporate gifts
The difference between a standard gift box and one with your logo
Giving a quality gourmet gift box is already a strong gesture. Adding your company's name and logo turns that gesture into a piece of communication. The recipient no longer just gets products: they get an object that carries your identity, stays visible on their table or in their kitchen, and links your brand to a moment of pleasure.
A build-your-own gift box without customisation works perfectly for small quantities or quick purchases. But as soon as you're giving to more than twenty or so people — key clients, long-standing partners, sales teams — a bottle screen-printed with your logo takes on another dimension. It's recognisable. It gets shared. It gets photographed.
Screen printing on an olive oil bottle is done directly on the glass, with no label or adhesive. The result is understated and long-lasting, worthy of a premium gift. That's what the customisation service offers, from 24 bottles.
What your clients and partners remember about a gift that carries your brand
Studies on business gifts show that useful, quality everyday items create the best memories. A bottle of organic extra virgin olive oil from Calabria, used week after week in the kitchen, stays around far longer than a gadget or a box of chocolates.
When that bottle carries your logo, the association is repeated every time it's used. It's a way to stay memorable that few companies are using yet, even though the gourmet business gift market has been growing strongly for the past two years.
For companies looking to order large volumes or work on specific projects, the professionals area gives you dedicated support: lead times, formats, gift box contents, personalised message.
Which products to include in a custom gourmet gift box
Build-your-own gift boxes to suit your budget
Choosing a gift box comes down to two things: your budget per recipient and the message you want to send. Here are the options available, from the most affordable to the most complete:
- The trio of 200 ml olive oils in a terracotta gift box offers three expressions of organic Calabrian olive oil in a simple, elegant case. Ideal for a mid-range budget and a broad audience.
- The build-your-own trio gift box in gilded terracotta lets you pick three 200 ml bottles to your liking: plain oils, flavoured oils, IGP balsamic vinegar of Modena, spreads. It's the most flexible format for tailoring the box to your recipients.
- The gourmet gift box with olive oil and pistachio and cocoa-hazelnut spreads pairs savoury with sweet: it's especially suited to recipients with children or anyone who loves artisanal spreads without palm oil.
- The sweet gift box with olive oil, pistachio and bergamot spreads plays on the originality of Calabrian bergamot, a rare citrus fruit whose gourmet version few of your recipients will have tasted.
- For the most demanding profiles or key accounts, the 2.5 L jeroboam of organic extra virgin olive oil is an exceptional format, instantly recognisable, that on its own embodies the quality of the business relationship.
For every order, the gilded terracotta gift bag completes the presentation without stretching the budget.
The ranges available: from olive oil to fine food products
What makes a gourmet gift box rich is the variety of products it can hold. The house offers several complementary ranges that can be combined to match your recipients' profiles:
- Plain organic extra virgin olive oils, green fruity or ripe fruity, are the backbone of every gift box. They come from Calabria and are cold-extracted.
- Oils made by co-milling fresh fruit with the olives during extraction — with lemon, or with garlic and chilli — bring a distinctive aromatic signature and a guaranteed conversation starter at the table.
- The Gold collection IGP balsamic vinegar of Modena or the Silver collection is an addition that instantly lifts how the gift box is perceived.
- The spreads — pistachio, Piedmont hazelnut, almond, cocoa and hazelnut — win over every profile, from lovers of artisanal sweets to fans of a well-made breakfast.
- The bergamot range — bergamot spread, Épicures d'Or 2024 and organic bergamot juice — is especially well suited when you want to give something unexpected, rooted in a specific terroir and twice award-winning.
If you're not sure yet about the ideal contents, the e-gift card lets your recipients choose for themselves in the shop, which means zero disappointment.
How to plan your order in October for delivery before Christmas
The timeline to follow
This is where a lot of companies lose time — and their deliveries. The decision cycle for B2B gift purchases has fixed lead times that are worth knowing before you find yourself stuck in November.
Here's the timeline to follow for delivery before 20 December:
- October, weeks 1 and 2: confirm the budget per recipient and the number of gift boxes to order. This is the internal decision phase, often the longest.
- October, weeks 3 and 4: place your customisation order. Screen printing needs a production lead time that only an order placed before the end of October can comfortably absorb.
- Early November: approve the print proofs if you've opted for a logo or a custom message.
- Mid-November: gift boxes are shipped to your recipients, or to your warehouse if you'd like to hand them over in person.
- Before 20 November: place any order that requires customisation lead time, without exception.
Orders placed after 20 November can no longer guarantee full customisation on time. Standard gift boxes, on the other hand, can still be shipped until 18 December.
The customisation steps, from configurator to delivery
Screen-print customisation is available from 24 bottles. It's a threshold designed for companies that want a professional finish without having to order industrial volumes.
The process happens in three stages:
- Step 1 — Design: you create your artwork directly in the online configurator. You can upload your logo and choose the placement, print colour and message. The tool is designed to be used without any particular design skills.
- Step 2 — Approval: before production starts, you approve a print proof. This is the stage where you can adjust the typography or layout if needed.
- Step 3 — Production and shipping: screen printing is done in the workshop. The bottles are then packed into the gift boxes and shipped according to the agreed timeline.
For a large-scale project, or if you'd like help with the gift box contents and multi-site delivery arrangements, the customisation sales team takes care of your project directly. Companies ordering more than 100 bottles get dedicated follow-up.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum number of bottles to order to get a gift box with my company logo?
Screen-print customisation is available from 24 bottles. Below that threshold, you can put together a standard gift box to personalise with a handwritten or printed message on a card, without screen printing on the glass.
Until when can I order a custom gourmet gift box and get it delivered before Christmas?
Any customisation order must be placed before 20 November to guarantee delivery before 20 December. Gift boxes without customisation can be ordered until 18 December. In October, you're in the ideal window: all lead times are met.
Can I order gift boxes with different contents for different recipients?
Yes. You can combine several selections within a single order — for example an oil and vinegar gift box for some recipients, a spreads and bergamot box for others. Tell us what you need when you get in touch via the professionals area so a dedicated contact can organise your order accordingly.
