FAQ

Q: Can you match the exact chocolate bar dimensions — including irregular shapes like bark chocolate or domed bars?

A: Yes — we design the tray and sleeve to your specific chocolate bar dimensions. For the sampling process, you provide one chocolate bar (or CAD with precise L×W×H dimensions including any doming or irregular features), and our die-board engineer creates a tray with exactly matched cavity dimensions plus 1-2mm clearance for easy insertion without rattling. For irregular shapes like bark chocolate, we create a contoured tray with raised edge walls that follow the chocolate’s natural outline. Die-board fabrication for custom dimensions takes 5-7 days and is included with your first order.

Q: Is the packaging food-safe — can the chocolate bar be in direct contact with the board?

A: The board and inks are food-safe for indirect contact — the chocolate bar should be wrapped in its primary foil or film wrapper before placing in the carton. Our inks are low-migration offset inks compliant with EU 1935/2004 and the Nestlé Guidance Note on packaging inks (the strictest industry standard). If you need direct food contact packaging, we can add a food-grade PE or PLA liner to the tray — this upgrade is available upon request with a small MOQ increase (from 1000 to 3000 units).

Q: What’s the difference between the slide-sleeve design and a traditional folding carton — which is better for chocolate?

A: The slide-sleeve design (outer sleeve + inner tray) offers several advantages over a traditional tuck-top carton for premium chocolate: (1) Unboxing experience — sliding off the sleeve to reveal the chocolate creates a deliberate, luxurious reveal versus opening flaps; (2) Reusability — the sleeve slides back on easily, so the packaging remains attractive on the shelf after partial consumption; (3) Window presentation — the sleeve’s die-cut window aligns perfectly with the tray, showing the chocolate while keeping it protected; (4) Flat-packing — both sleeve and tray ship flat, saving 80% warehouse space versus pre-glued cartons. The trade-off is a slightly higher per-unit cost (approximately 15-20%) versus a simple tuck-top carton — this is typically offset by the premium shelf presence and higher perceived product value.

Q: What are the lead times and minimum order quantities for seasonal and limited-edition chocolate packaging?

A: Standard lead time is 15-20 days. Custom die-board for new sizes adds 5-7 days. MOQ is 1000 units for standard configurations, 3000+ for custom die-board or specialty foil designs. For seasonal products (Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter), we recommend ordering 60-90 days before your retail launch date to allow for sampling, production, and ocean freight (25-35 days to EU/US). We offer a “seasonal fast-track” service: for recurring seasonal designs (same die-board, updated artwork only), lead time can compress to 10-12 days + air freight (5-7 days) for a 20% surcharge — ideal for tight seasonal deadlines. Rush samples in 3-5 days available for existing die-board configurations.
