I'm interested in finding an "envelope" in which to package chocolate bars. Not interested in the pour-n-pack variety. Any ideas out there?

Mod Pack isn't bad either.

Good to know Marc! I'll keep your contact info as things unfold, we'll see.

Hi Ann,

I've found Nashville Wraps to be very helpful and nice to deal with. If you're thinking about more of a custom box, I might be able to make some recommendations depending upon the size you need. We can "gang run" boxes for multiple buyers on the same press sheet saving everyone a lot of money over "going it alone". Minimums in this case usually start at 1000 press sheets.

HI Ann,

Nashville Wraps has a great selection. The minimums aren't too bad on some of the styles. Box & Wrap has huge minimums and are not always a better price.

Sales and discontinued items are usually a good bet.

Hi

Anyone in the Denver area, I have a complete commercial setup fro producing candy and chocolates;

Hilliard’s Jumbo coater w 6inch belt, Hilliard’s hand coater w 4 inch belt, Revolation 3210, Savage electric all in one cooker, Savage gas cooker, Groen steam jacketed cooker with mixer for fudge, 3 x 6 marble slab table, Oliver lid sealers, heat shrinkable packing, molds, trays, etc . etc.

I am going to switch to importing and selling cacao (chocolate) beans, nibs and processed cocoa mass. Rather than sell this stuff as it will probably come in handy would like to meet someone interested in production chocolates or similar project or experienced chocolatier in Denver area who could utilize it, maybe I would sell it as I will need capital

Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of looking for a space for my chocolate business. I am busily drafting business plans and crunching numbers to see if I can actually do this!

I am a professional pastry chef and chocolatier that desperately wants to get out on my own. To everyone before me, thanks for inspiration!

I have a question. How do you find a wholesale food distributor?

Thanks

Hi Everybody,

I live in Tennessee, and am on the first legs of my Chocolate Adventure.  I spent 20 years in Chemistry/Electronics/Software, and although Chocolate (and small business) is a little scary to me at present - this site is bringing the anxiety down (or up?) for me.  My love of beautiful, fresh, and tasty bites will make it all worthwhile.  I currently have a Rev Delta that I have been practicing with at home, and am lining up a kitchen to work out of full time.  I look forward to chatting with the group in the future.
