Why is Personalisation So Important?

The more your customers see (and taste) your brand, the more likely they are to remember and recommend you, so sending them away with branded packaging and chocolate products isn’t just a novel idea, it makes complete business sense.

Keep reading to find out more about each of our customisation services, including our new and very exciting personalised ribbon service! 

Personalised Ribbons

Introducing our newest personalisation service – custom printed ribbons! Available in a variety of colours, on any of our 25m reels of double-faced satin ribbon, either 10mm or 25mm wide. It’s the perfect way to personalise your packaging for special occasions and events, the holiday season, or just because!  

Choose from metallic printing in either gold or silver, and any text for the 10mm ribbons, or even logos and designs on the 25mm ribbons. From £3.50 per 25m roll for 10mm wide metallic printed, it’s a fun and economical way to add a seasonal flair to your packaging.

Hot Foil Blocking

Our most popular personalisation service, hot foil blocking involves using a stamping machine to emboss your logo or chosen design in foil onto your boxes and bags. Most of the products in our packaging range can be hot foil blocked, and with a rainbow of colours to choose from, there’s something to suit every brand and business. 

We can even print onto our clear lids, giving your chocolate boxes a sleek, elegant finish that still bears your branding while showing off your stunning creations. Most logos, messages and designs can be made into blocking dies, but if you need help creating camera-ready artwork we can even recommend a designer! 

Take a look at our guide to hot foil blocking for more details.

Personalised Chocolate Plaques

You’ve probably seen chocolate plaques in patisserie displays, adorning elegant pastries and desserts, usually with the shop’s logo printed on, but have you ever wondered how they did it? Well, you’re in luck, because we offer a personalised chocolate plaque service, allowing you create your very own branded or custom designed chocolates to top cakes, ice creams, pastries, drinks and anything else you fancy! 

 With a variety of shapes and sizes available and a choice of milk, white or dark chocolate, you can have up to 5 colours in your design, so getting your branding right is no problem. And the best part? They’re absolutely delicious!

Custom Cocoa Butter Transfer Sheets

Prefer to make your own personalised chocolate products? Custom transfer sheets are the ideal solution! Create your very own chocolate plaques or customised bonbons using these sheets and a magnetic mould or a stencil mat. They’re a cost-effective way to make your products stand out, whether you decide to print your own logo or business name, or create a unique design for an event or seasonal occasion.  

You can print designs with one to five colours on each transfer sheet, and then get creative using them on everything from chocolate bars and bonbons, to compound coating dipped cookies and ice cream bars, and even to marzipan and fondant icing by brushing the surface with tempered cocoa butter first.
