I decided to research into where i could get sweets packaging. These are the styles that i found and thought would be useful for this project.

Round boxes to display dolls and other light items. These clear flexible thin PVC acetate cylinder boxes come in two styles.
The top and bottom are circular caps about 3/8" deep.
The 14" & 22" sides come as flat sheets and you must insert 3 tabs into the opposite side of the sheet to construct a cylinder. This is a bit tricky as the tube you make is quite unstable until the bottom cap is in place.
3. The two smaller sizes have sides that come as round cylinders folded flat which makes them easier than the large sizes but they have a problem in that due to the fold the ends tend to gap at the fold (see here) Given all this, they are still a great value at the price.

Gusseted glassine food bags for a better fit and larger items.

A selection of pillow boxes made of clear PVC. Sold flat.

A selection of pillow boxes made of clear PVC. These boxes also have a hanger hole in one of the flaps for easy display. You can either fold the flap with the hanger hole in first and use as a plain pillow box or leave the flap unfolded and use as seen here. Sold flat.

Jars are made of P.E.T.(polyethylene terephthalate) which is a high quality, impact-resistant, food-grade plastic. The Jars are clear and can hold a wide variety of items including; food, candy, powders, creams, etc. The black screw-on Lid (included) has no liner and is smooth and flat to accommodate labels.

Clear 1.2 mil and 1.5 mil "cello" polypropylene bags made by using a seamless tube with a gusset side. Use these bags for any item where visual appeal is important.

These bags will stand up due to the gusset but do not have a completely flat bottom. Bags meet FDA and USDA specifications for food contact and are made of 100% virgin, high clarity polypropylene film.

Deep seamless "tin" (steel) containers with slip on covers. Price includes container and cover, which are shipped assembled. Tins are food grade, have no sharp edges, all edges are rounded and are seamlessly formed from .24mm metal.
Long, clear, plastic boxes with a gold card bottom. Great for candy and bonbons. These boxes come flat and must be assembled
This plastic box comes in a series sized for 4,6,8 bonbons. Made with frosted sides and a frosted frame top with clear center. Comes already set up.

Small boxes with tuck sides. The very small box in the picture is shown upside down so that you can see the tuck and flaps and bottom seam construction. These boxes come flat.

Clear 1.2 mil "cello" polypropylene bags made of clear hard cast sheets of polypropylene. This clarity cannot be made into a tube therefore these bags are made with a seam up the back and are therefore more expensive. These bags meet FDA and USDA specifications for food contact and are made of 100% virgin, high clarity polypropylene film.
