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).
