Everything You Need to Know About Confectionery Supplies

When most chocolatiers think packaging,” they picture boxes, bags, or stand‑up pouches. Yet the unsung heroes—bows, ribbons, trays, pads, foil, and fill—are what transform a simple container into a gift‑worthy indulgence. Here’s our comprehensive guide to the confectionery supplies you need.

1. Bows, Ribbons & Loops

From classic satin to textured grosgrain and glittering metallic stretchloops, our pre‑tied bows and spools of ribbon make it easy to add instant elegance. Choose holiday hues, soft pastels, or on‑brand Pantones to elevate ballotins, stand‑up pouches, and gift baskets. Here are some of the bows, ribbons, and stretch loops we carry.

2. Ties & Closures

Seal cello or kraft bags in seconds with gold or silver twist ties, kraft‑paper ties for a rustic look, or heavy‑duty metal clamps for large‑format gusseted packaging. Quick to apply on the production line and easy for customers to reopen at home, the right closure preserves freshness while reinforcing your brand style.

3. Foil Sheets

Smooth foil sheets do double duty: they create a tight moisture barrier around caramels and fudges, and they provide a luxe color pop that differentiates flavors. Stock colors range from classic gold and silver to eye‑catching grape and copper, various pre‑cut sizes are ideal for speed on the wrapping table.

4. Candy Cups

Whether you need brown glassine for traditional truffles or bright gold foil cups for premium assortments, Glerup Revere carries the full size spectrum (#4 through #8) plus specialty shapes. Grease‑resistant liners keep cup walls crisp and chocolates pristine, even in warm retail environments.

We also stock mini paper cups for candy, which are perfect for bite-sized confections, samples, or smaller assortments where presentation still matters.

5. Candy Trays

Insert trays arent just for stability—they elevate presentation. Choose PET or polystyrene cavities from two‑piece samplers to 24‑count assortments. Macaron inserts and luxury gold six‑cavity trays slip neatly into window boxes for a high‑end unboxing moment that drives gift sales.

6. Padding & Candy Pads

Delicate bonbons deserve proper cushioning. Our quilted candy pads and slim gold or white chip pads line boxes to prevent scuffs, absorb butterfat, and protect against bloom” during shipping. Match pad color to your brand palette or seasonal theme for a polished interior reveal.

7. Festive Fill & Decorative Shred

Need to fill tote bags, gift baskets, or e-commerce mailers? Recycled‑content crinkle cut shred expands to cradle heavier items while signaling eco‑friendly values. Ten‑ and forty‑pound cartons of fill deliver hundreds of handfuls, cutting packing time and material waste.

8. Stock Labels

Not ready for a custom print run? Pressure‑sensitive rounds, heart shapes, and easy‑peel gold closure strips let you brand quickly or color‑code SKUs. They double as tamper‑evident seals and pair perfectly with bows for a cohesive look. We also carry a range of pre-printed labels for holidays. If you're interested in custom labels, we can help.
