Design chocolate gift packaging from the exact chocolate dimensions, piece count, arrangement and wrapping method. The rigid presentation box and the food-contact tray or liner should be specified separately, then tested with the real chocolates and intended distribution conditions. Final specifications should be confirmed against the actual product, a physical sample and the intended packing and distribution method.
Key Considerations
- Chocolate dimensions can vary by flavor, decoration and coating.
- Cavity clearance must protect finishes without allowing excess movement.
- Greyboard is normally not the direct food-contact surface.
- Temperature management is a logistics issue, not solved by decoration.
