So, I've been looking around for take out boxes (like what you get at Chinese take out restaurants) for our candy bar. Does anyone have any experience making these? If I can get them from a restaurant supplier, I can get them fairly cheaply, but I've found many templates online.

If you're going to make them yourself, I'd recommend - as a few others did - bristol board or cardstock. both cheap & sturdy enough to hold candy! =)

also if you use cardstock, it's looseleaf sized so you can put a template [or multiples depending on size] on a program such as word or publisher & print it right on the cardstock & then cut it out. =) if you were concerned about lines, you could cut out one design, then lay it over other sheets & cut around it with an exacto knife.

Hope that helped. =)

A shipping supply company called ULINE sells white take-out boxes very inexpensively. (uline.com; 1-800-295-5510)

Minimum quantity is 100 ... but the cost for the smallest size (8 oz.) is only $13. The quart size is $24/100 and there are a couple of sizes in between. You could personalize with stickers or tags.

Hope this is helpful. Happy wedding. Best regards, aliceann toole
