Why Premium Chocolates Require Professional Cushioning
Delicate confections are vulnerable to vibration and stacking pressure during transit. Without proper cushioning, they risk surface scuffs and breakage that compromise your product's integrity.
Common Packaging Risks for Chocolatiers
Transit Vibration Damage
Even with a sturdy, well-made box, hours of transit vibration can still affect what’s inside. Chocolates may shift and rub, leading to scuffs, chips, and hairline cracks that ruin the finish.
Lid Contact Issue
Without protection, chocolates press against the box lid during handling. This can leave contact marks, smears that destroy the "premium unboxing" experience.
Stacking Pressure
Boxes stacked during storage and shipping put weight on delicate chocolates. This pressure causes cracks, deformation, resulting in high return rates.
Multi-Ply Protection
Candy pads (also called chocolate box liners or paper cushion pads) are constructed from multi-layer glassine paper with a unique internal spring-like structure. This creates a soft, resilient buffer between chocolates and the box lid.
Available in 3 to 9-ply options, they actively absorb shock and prevent movement, ensuring your products remain stable and pristine during transit.
Active Shock Absorption
The spring-like internal layers dampen vibration and neutralize impact, keeping chocolates stationary.
Lid Contact Buffer
Acts as a soft, non-abrasive barrier that prevents surface scuffs and smudges against the box lid.
Compression Resistance
Resists vertical pressure during stacking. The resilient structure maintains its volume to ensure consistent protection.
Customize Your Candy Pads
We offer a wide variety of candy pads, and we engineer them to your exact needs—so they fit your box, protect the chocolates, and maintain a pristine appearance when the lid opens.
Our goal is simple: make pads easy to specify, easy to reorder, and consistent every time.
Ply & Thickness Options
Choose from 3-ply, 5-ply, 7-ply and 9-ply structures (1 mm to 8 mm). We help you match the density to your product's weight and fragility.
Flexible MOQ
