Frequently Asked Questions

Chocolate can be packaged in a variety of ways including boxes, envelopes, foil, and paper wrapping. Typically, there are two layers of packaging, an inner non-permeable wrap which may include foil, plastic or other materials, and an outer package made from paper or paperboard that is easier to print on for marketing and branding purposes. JBM Packaging creates a broad range of custom chocolate packaging to help craft chocolatiers showcase their products — from specialty open-end envelopes, paperboard packages, to glassine bags and custom packaging for seasonal treats.

When chocolate comes off a production line at a food manufacturing facility, it is often wrapped in a foil, plastic, or glassine inner layer to protect the bar and improve shelf life. It is then often wrapped again or inserted into a printed outer layer for branding. The JBM Innovation Team explores multiple shapes, sizes, materials, and designs to create custom concepts for specific chocolate bar requirements to help bring chocolate packaging ideas to life.

Every chocolate bar is unique and so is its packaging. Chocolatiers must think about size, paper, the opening experience, and visual branding needs when considering packaging options. This process starts with a phone call to understand the needs before paper samples are sent to test on the product. The JBM Innovation Team then designs a packaging solution that will display the brand beautifully and fit the product perfectly. The team will also work to reduce packaging materials and provide eco-friendly alternatives if developing sustainable packaging is a priority.
