General information

Short Summary

The French company specialising in personalised chocolates is looking for new customers in Switzerland as part of a commercial agreement. The company designs and produces all its personalised chocolates in innovative packaging. From production to final packaging, the service is 100% made-to-measure. Each project begins with a discussion to find out exactly what the customer needs. The chocolate is personalised directly to surprise customers (text, slogan, logo, photo, QR code, illustration).

Full Description

The French company, founded in October 2023, has created chocolate as a communication medium, a unique concept for a refined gesture. Thanks to its expertise in small-scale production and personalisation using food printing, the company already has a varied customer base on the French market and is looking to expand its international reach.

These chocolates can be used for two main purposes: as promotional aids (marketing operations, product launches, gourmet POS displays) and as welcome or reception gifts (weddings, seminars, vernissages, baby showers). Volumes vary from a few dozen units for intimate events to several thousand for B2B campaigns, with an average production time of 3 to 4 weeks depending on the complexity.

The company designs and produces all its personalised chocolates in innovative packaging. From production to final packaging, the service is 100% made-to-measure. Each project begins with a discussion to find out exactly what the customer needs. The chocolate is personalised directly to surprise customers (text, slogan, logo, photo, QR code, illustration). The chocolates are then packaged in personalised boxes: kraft boxes, transparent sachets, premium boxes or eco-responsible formats, with ribbons, labels and graphic elements reflecting the visual identity of the brand or event.

It offers several formats tailored to B2B needs: the Croq'Box (40 squares individually wrapped and presented in a box), the Croq' en Sac (8 squares presented in a double-sided format), the Croq'Message (an envelope made up of 15 squares) and the Croq'Événement (40 squares presented in a sleeve). These products are perfect for use in restaurants, hotels, châteaux, golf courses, events and publicity campaigns: welcome gifts, promotional material, personalised goodies or gourmet items for private celebrations (weddings, baby showers, openings, end-of-year gifts, etc.).

With a view to expanding into Switzerland, the company is looking to set up a marketing agreement in Switzerland, primarily with hotels, restaurants, events agencies and caterers. It is also open to partnerships with manufacturers interested in a white-label offer of personalised chocolates or recurrent purchases for commercial use.

Advantages and Innovations

The company stands out for :
- the selection of quality chocolates, some of which are organic (4 types of chocolate: dark, milk, blond or white.
- The direct printing on each square (text, photo, QR code, illustrations) is the key to its success,
- The possibility of making small series,
- Made-to-measure,
- A single point of contact,
- Personalised packaging in kraft boxes, transparent sachets, premium or eco-responsible boxes, with specific ribbons, labels and graphics.

The company controls the entire production chain for its personalised chocolates, from the design of the mould to the final packaging, enabling it to respond quickly and flexibly to the specific needs of each customer. This approach, which is rare on the market, enables it to guarantee aesthetic consistency and consistent organoleptic quality, even on small production runs.

Its food-grade printing process delivers unequalled rendering finesse for complex visuals (logos, QR codes, photos). This technique delivers high visual impact while preserving the taste and texture of the chocolate thanks to the use of tasteless, odourless edible inks.

Production in small and medium-sized batches (from around fifty units) makes personalisation accessible even to smaller structures (independent restaurants, boutique hotels, local events agencies), which sets the company apart from manufacturers in the sector, who often concentrate on high volumes.

The company also offers a range of standardised but flexible formats (Croq' Box, Croq'en sac, Croq'Message, Croq' Événement), enabling distributors or end customers to put together themed or seasonal collections.
