Why Brands Choose Brand My Bags for Chocolate Packaging
Six things a chocolate brand can check before it spends a dollar with us.
<0.02 g
Sugar bloom stopped at the surfaceSugar bloom — the grey, gritty film on chocolate — happens when moisture condenses on the surface, dissolves sugar and re-crystallises it. Metallized film under 0.02 g/100in²/day keeps that moisture off. It cannot stop fat bloom from heat; nothing in a bag can. Keep it cool and this film handles the rest.
Opaque
Aroma in, light outCocoa aroma is volatile and chocolate picks up neighbouring smells readily. The metallized layer is fully opaque and low-permeability in both directions — the bag opens smelling like the chocolate, not like the shelf it sat on.
Matte
A finish that matches the productCraft chocolate sells on restraint. A soft-touch matte finish is a quoted option on every size here, and it is the finish this category's shelf leaders already use.
Oak Park, Michigan
We own the pressesYour bags are printed on our own equipment in Oak Park, Michigan. Most "manufacturers" in this category are brokers reselling an overseas run — there is nobody between your file and our press.
500 bags
500 bags, not 5,000Most converters will not quote a chocolate maker under 5,000 units. Quick Order starts at 500, with no plate fee and no setup fee, so a new SKU costs a few hundred dollars to test instead of a few thousand.

Chocolate packaging questions
What size bag do I need for 8 oz of chocolate?
A 5" × 8" × 2.5" stand-up pouch — the middle size on this page carries an 8 oz retail bag of squares or drops with room to stand.
The 4″×6″×2″ suits a 4 oz gift or single-bar pouch and the 6″×9″×3″ a 1 lb bulk or baking bag.
Will the bag stop chocolate bloom?
It stops sugar bloom — metallized film under 0.02 g/100in²/day keeps moisture off the surface where it starts — but not fat bloom, which comes from heat; no bag can, so store it cool.
Is this the same as your candy page?
Same film, different problem — gummies fail by drying out, chocolate fails by bloom and by picking up odours, so this page is written and sized for chocolate specifically.
Can I get a soft-touch matte finish?
Yes — soft-touch matte is a quoted finish option on every size here, and it's the one most craft chocolate brands choose.
What is the minimum order for custom chocolate pouches?
500 bags on every size — most converters will not quote a chocolate maker under 5,000 per run.
Every size, from the smallest flat pouch to the 8" × 12" × 4", starts at 500 bags — a tenth of the run most converters ask for, which is what makes testing a new SKU possible without committing to a run you have never sold a unit of.
How long does custom chocolate pouches take?
About 7–10 business days from the day you approve your proof, because every bag is printed in-house in Oak Park, Michigan.
