Choices and Embellishments for Our Custom Packaging for Sweets and Candy

Variable Data Candy Packaging

With our variable data printing options, you can update your sweets and candy paper packaging with ease for seasonal or limited-edition runs, include QR codes, add promotional messages or revolving designs, and generate unique packaging for B2B programs or special celebrations. Your packaging can become a strong marketing tool that offers a personalized experience for your brand.

Small Run Candy Packaging

With our small-batch printing choices, you can print only the candy packaging that you need at the time. This is a great option if you are planning to have a seasonal release or a limited-edition product. Our premium digital printing produces clean, bright folding cartons, paper wrappings, and labels with rapid turnaround times and without large minimum requirements.

Custom Foil-Printed Candy Packaging

Although foil printing is typically connected to luxury packaging, it can be used as a notable addition for exclusive or limited-edition candy and sweets packaging. Foil accents contribute an aesthetic appeal and luxury allure to paper candy packaging, helping certain products demand attention on the shelves.

Custom Embossed-Printed Candy Packaging

Embossed printing is another choice for finishing your label that can raise your custom candy packaging to another level for special releases. When included on folding cartons or labels, embossing provides texture and depth, giving a tangible experience that magnifies the perceived quality of your product and solidifies your brand’s value.

Printing Testimonials From Our Clients

The embellishments that MediaHEAD achieved on our labels were amazing. Easy to work with and great follow up and understanding of what we needed for our project! Thanks Kat, you and your team crushed it!

MediaHead has always been a great print/distribution partner. I know I can always count on them for great quality and speed. Bill and Kat have always been so great to work with and that’s why I have continued to work with MediaHead for the last 4 years.

So thankful you for two and your team. You all are truly a joy to work with! You make my job worth showing up for each day. Thanks for all your hard work this year. We wouldn’t have had all our success without your partnership.

Our MEDiAHEAD portal is great and easy to use. We have 3,500 people who use the portal, and any of them can log in to use it. We know the difference between good and bad! You have been a strong partner with us for 25 years now. At one time, we were working with about 200 different vendors. We sent out RFPs and began working with another web portal supplier — it flopped! We turned to MEDiAHEAD — you have the quality and the logistics we need, and meet all of our standards. That was what our previous vendor was lacking. We wouldn’t change a thing! We love that MEDiAHEAD is big but not too big, and we get personalized service every time we call. Your print quality is great and is one of the main reasons we partnered with you. Your customer service is very solution oriented, and you always want to help.

MEDiAHEAD literally saved us with their customizable web platform and printing capabilities. We had an unsuccessful experience with another company and I wasn’t sure who could help create a site that actually worked the way we needed it to. After meeting with MEDiAHEAD, I instantly felt like not only were they an extension of our team, but also people I’ve known for years. They are a solutions oriented team who use their expertise to develop the right system or site for you. The turn around and pricing were great and the end product had our client (and us) very happy. Now I am confident in presenting this solution to our clients in the future, since I know I have a partner who can execute and deliver.

My business needed a label for a new product that really popped on shelves. Kat and her team jumped to the challenge and were able to do foiling and embossing all in-house! They also really came through for us on a rush PO and delivered right on time. For labels and marketing materials, you are in very good hands with this team.

Kat and team are willing to do whatever it takes to meet our needs. We had two very fast turn print needs, and MEDiAHEAD delivered – even after a few roadblocks popped up endangering our important deadline. Can’t thank you enough!
