During warm months and warmer days throughout the year, Ethel M Chocolates carefully packs your order in a paper-based recyclable insert designed to provide temperature control for perishable delivery with frozen ice packs to protect your chocolates' freshness and exquisite quality. Before sealing the box and sending it on its way to your specified destination, our packaging experts will include your personal message and any required packaging paperwork.

With every shipment, we have two goals. The first is to make sure that your chocolates are delivered in the highest quality. The second is to reduce our environmental footprint as much as possible. That’s why we include only the materials that are necessary to achieve both. If you receive an ice pack in your package, it’s because the journey of your gift passed through a destination that was greater than 75 degrees Fahrenheit, the melting point of our chocolate. The good news? The ice pack is environmentally safe and reusable. So rest assured that all of these materials are either recyclable or necessary for the journey.
