How to personalize chocolate: from idea to print
Personalized chocolate is one of the most popular corporate gifts. We cover how to print it — from surface preparation to gift packaging.
Why personalized chocolate?
Personalized chocolate is a popular choice for corporate gifts, wedding favours and marketing campaigns. A single printer can produce up to 200 personalized chocolates per hour.
Which chocolate works best?
White or milk chocolate with a smooth surface gives the best results. Dark chocolate requires an additional white base coating so colours appear vibrant.
Step by step
- Cast chocolate into plates on a flat surface (silicone moulds).
- Let the chocolate set completely — at least 2 hours in the fridge.
- Prepare the artwork: vector logo or a 300 DPI photo.
- Place the plate into the printer using the dedicated holder.
- After printing, let the ink dry for 10-15 minutes before packaging.
Common use cases
- Wedding favours with the couple's names
- Corporate gifts with company logos
- In-store marketing campaigns
- Children's birthday party sets
- Christmas gifts with personal greetings
Cost breakdown
A single chocolate print costs around €0.02-0.03. Including chocolate and packaging, the total cost remains competitive even at small volumes (from 20-50 units).
