Looking for the best butter cookies for corporate gifts? The right food gift should feel polished, thoughtful and easy to share while representing your business in a professional way.
Whether you are thanking an important client, welcoming a new business partner, recognising your team or preparing gifts for an event, premium butter cookie tins offer a practical alternative to flowers, wine and conventional gift hampers.
Lowrey Butter Cookies are handcrafted in small batches in New Zealand with 42%–44% New Zealand cultured butter, depending on the flavour. Their rich butter aroma, exceptionally delicate texture and distinctive red steel tins make them suitable for client gifts, staff appreciation, corporate events and overseas business partners.
This guide explains how to choose corporate cookie gifts, compare flavours, plan quantities, check allergens and arrange corporate or international delivery.
Why choose butter cookies for corporate gifts?
Corporate gifts need to work for both the sender and the recipient. They should be presentable, appropriate for the occasion and simple to distribute without creating unnecessary work for your team.
Butter cookie tins are particularly useful because they:
- Are easy to share: A tin can be enjoyed by an individual recipient, a family or a small office team.
- Require no preparation: The cookies can be served directly from the tin with tea or coffee.
- Offer a polished presentation: A gift-ready tin can be presented without additional complicated packaging.
- Suit many occasions: Butter cookies can be used for client appreciation, staff gifting, events, seasonal campaigns and business milestones.
- Are easier to store than fresh gifts: Commercially packed cookies do not require refrigeration.
- Can carry a sense of place: New Zealand-made butter cookies provide overseas recipients with a recognisable New Zealand food gift.
The quality of the cookies still matters. A corporate food gift represents the organisation sending it, so ingredients, flavour, presentation and accurate product information should all be considered before an order is placed.
What makes Lowrey Butter Cookies suitable for corporate gifting?
New Zealand cultured butter
Lowrey Butter Cookies are made with 42%–44% New Zealand cultured butter, depending on the flavour. Butter is central to their aroma, richness and delicate texture rather than being used simply as a background ingredient.
Cultured butter gives the cookies a rich dairy aroma, greater flavour depth and a refined buttery finish. Exact recipes and butter content vary by flavour, so businesses should review the relevant product information when selecting their order.
Handcrafted in small batches
Lowrey Butter Cookies are handcrafted in small batches in New Zealand rather than produced through large-scale continuous manufacturing. This small-batch approach is part of the character of the product and may result in slight natural variation between individual cookies.
An exceptionally delicate texture
Lowrey Butter Cookies have a very delicate, fragile and melt-in-the-mouth texture. They are not designed to be hard or crunchy.
This texture is an intentional product characteristic, but it also means the cookies must be handled carefully. The steel tin helps support and protect them during storage and gifting, although it cannot guarantee that every cookie will remain completely unbroken if a parcel is dropped or handled roughly during transport.
Gift-ready red steel tins
Each flavour is packed in a round red steel tin with a close-fitting lid. The distinctive presentation makes the tins suitable for professional thank-you gifts, staff gifts, corporate hampers and overseas recipients.
The tin is approximately 20 centimetres in diameter and 5 centimetres high. Each tin usually contains approximately 38–45 cookies, depending on the flavour and natural variation from small-batch handcrafting. Net weight also varies by flavour, so the individual product page and label should be checked before ordering.
Six flavour options
Lowrey offers six Butter Cookie flavours:
- Original
- Coffee
- Chocolate
- Matcha
- Raspberry
- Black Sesame
Flavour availability can change with stock levels and order requirements. View the current Lowrey Butter Cookies collection before planning your order.

How to choose the right flavour for corporate gifts
The best flavour depends on the recipients, the occasion and whether the gift is intended for an individual or a group. For a large corporate order, it may be helpful to combine familiar flavours with a smaller number of distinctive options.
Original Butter Cookies
Original is a classic choice for businesses ordering for recipients with different flavour preferences. It focuses on the aroma and richness of New Zealand cultured butter and provides a straightforward introduction to the Lowrey range.
It is particularly suitable for formal client gifts, first-time recipients and broad corporate audiences.
Coffee Butter Cookies
Coffee offers a more aromatic flavour and pairs naturally with coffee or tea. It can work well for office gifts, meeting-room sharing and recipients who enjoy café-style flavours.
Chocolate Butter Cookies
Chocolate is a familiar option with broad appeal. It is useful when a business wants a richer alternative to Original while still choosing a flavour most recipients will immediately understand.
Matcha Butter Cookies
Matcha provides a distinctive green tea flavour and may suit recipients who enjoy Japanese-inspired foods or less conventional gift options. Availability can vary, so larger requirements should be confirmed in advance.
Raspberry Butter Cookies
Raspberry adds a bright fruit character to the butter-rich base. It can add colour and variety to seasonal gifting, celebration gifts or a multi-flavour corporate order.
Black Sesame Butter Cookies
Black Sesame has a pronounced roasted sesame flavour and offers a distinctive choice for recipients who enjoy nutty, savoury-sweet flavours. This flavour has a different net weight from the standard tins, so check the current product information when comparing options.
Does each corporate gift tin contain mixed flavours?
No. Each Lowrey Butter Cookies tin contains one flavour only. For example, an Original tin contains Original Butter Cookies, while a Matcha tin contains Matcha Butter Cookies.
If you want to present several flavours, you can order multiple individual tins or choose a multi-tin value pack. The six-flavour gift pack contains six separate tins, with one tin of each flavour. It is not a single tin filled with mixed cookies.
For corporate quantities, contact Lowrey with your preferred flavours. The available combination can be confirmed based on stock, order size and delivery timing.
How many tins should a business order?
Start by deciding whether each tin will go to one person, one household or one office team. This prevents both under-ordering and unnecessary excess.
- One recipient or household: One tin can be presented as a complete gift.
- A small office team: One or more tins can be placed in a shared area, depending on team size.
- Individual staff gifts: Allow one tin per employee.
- Corporate hampers: Allow one tin per hamper.
- Events: Calculate the number of guests or tables, then add a reasonable allowance for last-minute changes.
Businesses needing fewer than the corporate minimum can purchase individual tins or available value packs through the Lowrey online store at normal retail prices.
Lowrey corporate order requirements
Lowrey’s corporate and bulk gift programme is designed for larger orders. The current minimum is:
- 5 cartons per corporate order
- 12 tins per carton
- 60 tins in total
Discounted pricing may be available for eligible corporate and bulk orders. To request an accurate quotation, provide:
- The required number of tins
- Your preferred flavours
- The delivery destination
- Your required delivery date
- Any greeting card, branded insert or presentation request
Corporate orders are delivered to one nominated address per order. This arrangement is suitable for offices, events, central warehouses and organisations that will distribute the gifts themselves.
Standard corporate orders using in-stock products may be dispatched on the next business day after the required deposit is received. Larger orders, seasonal campaigns, special presentation requests and overseas orders should be arranged earlier. Dispatch timing and stock should always be confirmed when the quotation is prepared.
Visit the Lowrey Corporate Gifting page for the latest order information and to request a quotation.
Can corporate cookie gifts be personalised?
Selected 3D greeting cards can be paired with Lowrey Butter Cookie tins, subject to availability and confirmation. This can add a personal element to a client thank-you gift, staff celebration or business milestone.
Personalised messages, branded inserts, company logo cards, stickers or other special presentation requests are not automatically included. If you require any of these options, include the details in your enquiry so the Lowrey team can confirm whether the request is available, the required minimum quantity, cost and lead time.
Do not assume that the red tin itself can be customised unless this has been specifically confirmed as part of your quotation.

Review Lowrey’s current shipping policy before sending corporate gifts internationally.
Understanding Lowrey’s delicate texture before shipping
Lowrey Butter Cookies are exceptionally delicate and melt easily in the mouth. This is part of their intended texture, not a sign that the product is stale or defective.
The cookies are packed in rigid steel tins to provide support during storage and delivery. However, if a carton is dropped or handled roughly by a carrier, some breakage may still occur. Businesses planning an important event or tightly scheduled gift campaign should take this possibility into account.
For a large event, it may be sensible to order a small allowance above the exact number required. If an order arrives with a problem, contact Lowrey within the period stated in the current shipping and replacement policy and retain clear photographs of the product and packaging.
Check ingredients and allergens before ordering
Corporate food gifts should not be selected on presentation alone. Ingredient and allergen information must also be considered, particularly when gifts are being sent to staff or clients whose dietary requirements may not be known.
Lowrey Butter Cookie recipes contain milk and wheat ingredients. Additional ingredients and allergens vary by flavour. Some Lowrey recipes use almonds, peanuts, sesame or other ingredients that may be relevant to people with allergies, and trace amounts of nuts may be present.
Before ordering:
- Check the current ingredient list for every selected flavour.
- Review the allergen statement on each individual product page and product label.
- Do not assume that every flavour has the same recipe.
- Ask recipients about serious allergies where practical.
- Avoid presenting the product to a person with a serious allergy unless its suitability has been properly confirmed.
Lowrey Butter Cookies are lacto-vegetarian, but the product label should remain the final reference for ingredients, allergens and suitability.
A practical corporate gifting checklist
- Define the recipients: Decide whether the gifts are for clients, staff, event guests, distributors or overseas partners.
- Set the quantity: Calculate whether you need one tin per person, household, office or hamper.
- Choose the flavours: Use familiar flavours for broad appeal and distinctive flavours when a more individual gift is appropriate.
- Check the corporate minimum: Corporate pricing begins at five cartons or 60 tins. Smaller orders can be purchased online.
- Confirm stock: Flavour availability may vary, particularly for larger and seasonal orders.
- Review allergens: Check the current product pages and labels for every flavour selected.
- Ask about presentation: Confirm greeting cards, branded inserts or other special requirements before ordering.
- Confirm the delivery arrangement: Corporate orders are normally delivered to one nominated address.
- Allow enough time: Place seasonal, overseas and specially presented orders early.
- Check international requirements: Review destination availability, customs requirements, duties and taxes.
