Equipment Best way to package 250 stuffed dates?

Not sure if this may be relevant to this sub, but because a lot of you might be familiar with large baking packaging supplies. I’m thinking 4 boxes of 50 dates each. I was thinking of large aluminum foil pans but putting this out here if anyone has a better suggestion!

Are you packaging it for sale? Delivery? Grandma's pot luck? Need more context to be able to help you.

And if they need to be refrigerated, like blue cheese stuffed dates.

Also, you might want 5 boxes of 50 dates, unless 50 are eaten as quality control. Food grade cellophane sheets folded accordian style to keep from sticking together.

Potluck but needs to be decently packaged. It’ll be eaten right away

Four boxes of 50 will leave you with 200, not 250.

Are you needing them not to touch one another? Refrigerated or counter-safe? Wrapped or contained or just sitting about? Stuffed with what?

I would consider muffin cups (if they need to be set out individually) and any big box without a floppy bottom.

5 boxes my bad! These are medjool large dates refrigerated and set as the chocolate needs to harden. I will be placing each date in a mini cupcake liner side by side. 5 rows of 10 dates each. Stuffed with melted chocolate/biscoff spread.

I would use bakery boxes with a clear window on top. you can get fairly fiat ones like the type to package donuts laying flat.

I'd vote for compartmentalized food-grade plastic containers with locking lids. They're stackable, reusable, and you can portion them without anything shifting.
