Samuel:

Would love to see photos of what you've produced. I've been looking into ways to make the less expensively, too.

We were also reluctant to pay in the 4 digits (USD or Euro) and managed to source a decent quality guillotine from pretty much home made by a local supplier. Can supply photos, just send me a message if you're interested. 600 USD + shipment.

Thank you so much. But a $1000 bucks is a bit more than I expected.

Yes you can wrap them in cel o phane sheets & bind the same on top with twisters(coloured wire)Chocolates look best when exposed but if you are located in a hot tropical place like India we are forced to wrap them.

Thanks for that. I do beleive i will stick to the conventional foil method. Possibly for a few reasons. That foil is associated with chocolate and its what people expect when unwrapping a bar. I guess there's no getting around it.... Thanks T

Chocolate Wrappers


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, Techniques

Like Deborah says, the wrapping that touches the food just has to be food safe.I think you should take another look at what is wrapping the chocolate. Can you reseal it? Is it easily torn or will there be issues when wrapping? Are you wrapping small or large quantities?I have received chocolate that has been not sealed properly on the inner seal due to mechanical problems during assembly. That is not a good process and inefficient. Many small batch chocolate makers simply hand wrap the chocolate in foil. Foil does not impart flavor on the food, but plastic can.

Chocolate Wrappers


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, Techniques

Anything that's food safe. For instance, there's a video on here posted by Rogue Chocolatier that shows them packaging their bars in poly bags and then in envelope boxes. There really isn't a limitation other than the fact that what touches the bar must be food safe. Personally, I like the look of the envelope boxes and they should be more protective than a foil wrapped bar with an outer wrapping of paper. However, they're more expensive too, unless you want to get into designing and producing your own.

Chocolate Wrappers


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, Techniques

Hi All, Wondering if anyone can shed some light on the issue of wrapping.

Traditionally, chocolate bars were wrapped in aluminium foil. But is there another way. Say a paper of sorts that will protect the chocolate just as well?

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks Tony

Posted in: News & New Product Press (Read-Only)

Does anyone know of any suppliers selling professional chocolate moulds in Australia? When I have tried ordering from overseas I have found the postage to be double the cost of the product.

Also are there any Australia chocolatiers looking at selling any of their range of moulds? I may be interested.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure this will not be a problem. I'm still working full time with my ordinary job so this business is just in small scale on my spare time. In other words I will not have time to make so many truffles that I will run out of boxes :-)

Chocolate boxes in Europe?


Posted in: Classifieds ARCHIVE

Annika:Going into the holiday season, ordering only 500 boxes may be a mistake. It may seem like a lot now, but if you are successful and it takes weeks to get the boxes once your order them ... what do you do? While 500 may seem like a huge number now, ordering 500 and running out on December 1st is far worse than buying 1000 having 100 left over on December 1st.I know it's also a cash flow issue - does it make sense to have that much money tied up in boxes? But running out of boxes in the middle of the busiest time of year makes no sense to me. It may make more sense to find a slightly less expensive box.

Chocolate boxes in Europe?


Posted in: Classifieds ARCHIVE

I'm about to start a small chocolate business in Sweden and I've been looking for some nice chocolate/truffle boxes for severel month now without luck.

The thing is that I can't seem to find any company in Europe (since shipping over seas is too expensive) that excepts small orders. Since this is a start up business I don't want to order too many boxes the first time, maximum 500 pcs.

I would really appreciate some help...

Thanks!
