Food safe inks and chocolate box enclosures


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

yes, the cost was my concern, and my graphic designer is acting as if she needs to search around for someone who can do it, which raised my suspicion that it may or may not be important, because she does work for other confectionery companies, so why would it seem to be some big, special request? Unfortunately she is on a non-cell-phone vacation right now.I come from a regular culinary background (not packaged foods) so there is an awareness-raising hurdle for me (a nice was of saying I have some ignorance about it).

Food safe inks and chocolate box enclosures


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

Who knows the reg's on printed matter that goes inside a box of chocolates? For example, a tiny brochure or a sheet thatprovides a 'map' ofthe contents. Does it have to be food safe ink if it is separated from the confectionsby a glassine pad? My graphic designer is saying yes, but she seemed to hesitate a bit, so I'd like another info source.

Thanks!

packaging for wholesale


Posted in: Tasting Notes

Any referrals for sources for wholesale packaging of finished chocolates? I have worked with these boxes before... they are about 9"H x 9"W by maybe 6" tall and can accommodate four or five layers, and have a custom tray that perfectly fits the box. Found one at chocolat-chocolat, but it looked a little different, and I'd like to compare more than one source anyway.

Thanks!

Equipment for making caramel / recipe


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

I would also like to know the process you guys are using if wrapping caramels (unenrobed) into parchment squares. I cannot visualize how to reduce the time commitment for individually wrapped pieces. Not sure if anyone can describe it in words. Folded, envelope-style? Rectangles with twisted ends? Maybe this is one of those processes that goes very slowly at first, then you get a rhythym and it moves quickly?
