Why Custom Chocolate Is The Ideal Corporate Gift

Gift giving in a corporate environment can be tricky. You want to find something that is appropriate for the occasion, thoughtful, and personalized. This is where personalized chocolate comes in. It makes a suitable gift that any of your colleagues or clients will love receiving. 

Chocolates are also excellent branding tools when at a conference or trade show. It’s a treat that draws passers-by in to take a few and take your branding along with them.

There’s something about receiving a box of chocolate that just makes a person feel special, like someone went out of their way for them. If that box of chocolates is personalized, it makes you the official best gift-giver of the office.

There are considerations to make when buying personalized chocolates to guarantee you’re getting the most bang for your buck and that the gift you buy turns out beautiful and delicious.  These include the quality of the chocolate and the design, along with turnaround time and flexibility when ordering.

What To Consider When Selecting Chocolate Gifts

Unfortunately, many chocolate manufacturers claim to be top quality while delivering inferior products. The last thing you want to do is send low quality chocolate as a business gift. Here’s what to look for to make sure you are getting the quality you paid for.

1. Chocolate Quality

To distinguish quality chocolate from inferior chocolate, let your 5 senses be your guide:

Sight - It should look appealing and shiny, not chalky or broken apart.

Touch - It should feel smooth to the touch and any ridges from the design should be prominent with detail. The chocolate should also be firm and susceptible to melting when exposed to heat from your hand.

Smell - the fragrant smell of the chocolate should have you anticipating the next sense. If you can’t smell the essence of the chocolate or only smell a sugary or waxy smell, it is of poor quality.

Taste - The taste should be smooth and silky in texture with rich flavor that lasts, consistent with the type you ordered. Chocolate has a very strong and distinct taste that should resonate on your taste buds for longer than a moment.

Sound - The snap sound of the chocolate as you bite into it should have you eager for the next bite. Quality chocolate is firm and will make an audible snap when broken with your hands or bitten into. If the chocolate does not snap apart or make a sound when broken, the chocolate may be old or low quality.

2.  Design Quality

The design quality of the chocolate quality you choose for your boss or colleagues will reflect on your taste and how well you know them. When designing for a trade show, conference, or other branding event, be sure that the chocolate company offers a myriad of designs, and that customization and details won’t be a problem. You want to make sure that the chocolate you order isn’t just tasty, but stylishly designed as well.

Chocolate Packaging

The exterior packaging, if purchasing individual chocolate squares or bars, should be wrapped in foil or outer wrapped with paper and inner wrapped foil. The colors should be vibrant and an accurate representation of your brand if using company branding. When purchasing a box of chocolate, look for a sturdy box with a liner to hold each chocolate and paper liners for each individual piece. Again, look at the quality of the colors and design for the occasion or brand.

Chocolate Design

The design of the chocolate itself should be accurate for what you wanted and clearly recognizable if you are customizing the bar. In a  box of chocolate, whether you choose one flavor or 30, each different flavor should be unique in design, setting them apart. The details should be elegant, eluding to high quality, high dollar chocolates. The color of the chocolate should reflect the type of chocolate it is: dark chocolate is a very dark brown, milk chocolate is a creamy medium brown, not too light, and white chocolate should of course be a milky white.

3. Order Customization & Turnaround

Consider the array of services offered when ordering, to be sure you’ll get exactly what you want. This includes what elements of the chocolate are customizable: the exterior, the flavor, the design of a bar, the design of individual chocolates, etc. Also look at the flexibility and turnaround time of the order. If you are a last-minute gift order, it is important that the company can assure a quick turnaround while delivering your corporate chocolate gifts at the highest quality. Be sure to check if they ship to your country as well.
