Create beautiful and attractive custom packaging for chocolates in the following ways:

Find the right shape
Chocolate packaging design requires you to determine a size first. Now you may be making expensive chocolates and expensive flavors and blends in them that comes in small boxes, or you might be making chocolates that are brought in a large number, in any case, you know the size and what quantity you are selling in each pack, so you want to decide on the shape of the box, go wild hunting for ideas and anything you think of is possible, leave it all on the manufacturer!

Find the right size
Size comes right after the shape, see what extent looks best in shape you have chosen, and if it fits the portion size, you are selling. It should not be too big to make the buyer lose interest, and it shouldn’t be too small not to catch their attention, play with different sizes and experiment to find a perfect size. Chocolate packaging ideas can be applied to any shape and size.

Shortlist designs and materials
Now that you know the size and shape, it is easy for you to choose the material. See what type of materials are best for chocolate packaging and make a list. Usually people like fancier packaging and something that looks gorgeous, so whatever material you choose should be able to watch pretty and attractive after all the customization has been done and most importantly it should be the type of material that is easily customized. When you have that figured out, short list materials from the list and keep 3 to 4 options.

Premium or regular?
Are you selling premium chocolates or something ate every day? Because packaging of regular chocolate is fun and cute but premium chocolates are darker, duller and they leave more work on the flavor and texture of the chocolate instead of the packaging. Premium chocolate packaging is very glamorous and sometimes just plain with taste and branding. Chocolate packaging suppliers have solutions for all types of chocolates whether premium or regular.

Get samples and quotes from manufacturers
Manufacturers of the customized packaging are very generous in giving out examples to show you what they can provide you, reach out to as many manufacturers as you want and fetch samples from them. Get materials, textures, finishes and price quotations for all of them from the manufacturers. Chocolate packaging supplies aren’t just boxes; there are box liners and foils and other related things that are also customized along with the packaging. Now, you have the shape, size, shortlisted materials, quotes and samples from the manufacturers and your packaging is in the final stages!

Try to get a 3D model designed first
Once you have figured and filtered the manufacturer for your packaging, you must be very sure that they are the one for the job. Discuss your requirement with them and see if they can provide you with a 3D model or models for you to see how it will look like physically. Once you are satisfied with what it looks like, you can ask them to deliver you the samples.

Test run the samples
Chocolate packaging materials are to be tested as well as the design, take the samples and put your chocolates in them. Take photos and see how they appear in printed and on screen. Does it suit your product or is there anything you want to be changed? Do you think that this packaging will retain the shape and size of the chocolate? If yes, time to get the boxes!

Make changes and finalize
Make whatever little changes required and get your boxes manufactured!
