Buying guide

Tips from packaging experts.

Practical advice for chocolate and confectionery brands.

Plan around the gifting calendar

Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day drive most chocolate gifting. Order packaging early so it's ready before the rush.

Think about the weather

Chocolate doesn't like heat. Plan deliveries and dispatch days carefully in warmer months.

Use labels for flavours

One box style with a different label for each flavour keeps stock simple while your range grows.

Make corporate orders easy

Plain boxes with a client's printed ribbon or label make quick, affordable corporate gifts.
