Pre-Sized for Classic Ballotin Boxes
Ballotin boxes follow standard footprints by weight, so a pre-sized pad fits without measuring. Each pad is cut 2 mm smaller than the box base on each side, so it sits flat and the chocolates stay level. That keeps a gift assortment neat from the counter to the recipient.
