Can anyone give me some recommendations on how to ship chocolate?  Are there specifics months you ship and not ship?  Is there specific packaging that must be used or shipping turnaround time?  I am in NY and would like to start an on-line business but am not sure about shipping.  I do not want the chocolates to melt.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All, 

       I'm in the early stages of starting a chocolate business.  Our emphasis will be on chocolate design.  We will have some exciting original designs and classic favorites all created by us.  :-)  We will start out primarily online, and I'll be working out of my house.  Eventually we hope to open a facility, increase our volume, and offer a premium brand of our own Bean to Bar chocolate.  We have a long way to go, but are really excited by our progress, and what lies ahead.  I'm looking forward to learning from others here, and sharing what I've learned along the way.

I think I saw something like those while looking on nashvillewraps... could be mistaken tho, as I've been looking at lots of website lately :-)

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.

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.

Thank you Diane!

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.
