Wholesale hat boxes for retailers, milliners and florists

Our wholesale hat boxes are priced in tiered volume breaks so the more you buy, the lower the per-box cost. Popular with hat shops, wedding milliners, florists building hat box bouquets and gifting brands that need premium presentation packaging without bespoke lead times.

Choosing the right size hat box

The right size depends on what's going inside — there's no universal "hat box" size, so it's worth measuring the brim and crown of the hat (or the arrangement) before ordering.

• Small hat boxes — fascinators, baby hats, jewellery gifting and small floral arrangements.
• Medium hat boxes — fedoras, trilbies, bowlers and standard occasion hats.
• Large hat boxes — wide-brim sun hats, bridal hats, top hats and large bouquets.
• Extra-large hat boxes — oversized millinery, statement wedding hats and gift hampers.

Hat boxes for florists and gifting

Florists use hat boxes as the base for hat box flower arrangements and luxury bouquets — line the inside with cellophane or floral foam, arrange blooms tightly across the rim, and finish with a ribbon. They're also a popular choice for luxury gifting: hampers, candles, chocolates and bridal-party gifts all present beautifully in a rigid hat box. Pair with our cellophane bags and ribbon for a finished look.

Hat boxes for storage and display

Rigid hat storage boxes protect the shape of structured hats far better than soft bags. The lidded design keeps dust, light and moisture off the felt or straw, and the round profile means the brim isn't crushed flat. Use them on retail shelves for display or stack them at home for long-term wardrobe storage.

Colours, shapes and custom printing

Our standard range covers white, black, brown kraft and printed designs in round, oval and square shapes. Need a specific colour, size or printed logo? Our bespoke packaging service can produce custom hat boxes in your brand colours, with foil stamping, ribbon handles or full-colour print — typical bespoke MOQs apply.

UK delivery, lead times and bulk orders

Stock hat boxes dispatch next working day from our UK warehouse. Standard UK mainland delivery is £7.99 and free on orders over £150. For pallet quantities or recurring trade orders, use the bulk enquiry form below or see our full delivery information.

Frequently asked questions

What is a hat box?

A hat box is a rigid, lidded container — usually round or oval — designed to hold and protect a hat's shape during storage, display or transit. Modern hat boxes are also widely used by florists for hat box bouquets and by gift brands as premium presentation packaging.

What size hat box do I need?

Measure the widest point of the hat brim and add 2–3cm for comfortable fit. For floral arrangements, choose a box that's roughly the same diameter as the bouquet you plan to build.

Can hat boxes be used for flowers?

Yes — they're one of the most popular uses. Line the box with cellophane or a plastic liner, pack with floral foam, and arrange flowers tightly across the top. The rigid sides hold the arrangement in shape for transport.

How should I store a hat in a hat box?

Stuff the crown lightly with acid-free tissue to hold its shape, place the hat upside down (crown sitting on the tissue) so the brim isn't crushed, then close the lid and store somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight.

Do you offer custom-printed hat boxes?

Yes — our bespoke service covers custom sizes, colours and printed branding on hat boxes. Minimum order quantities apply; submit an enquiry for a quote and lead time.
