Personalized candy wrappers for business or fun

Whether you’re making chocolate to sell for retail or you’re making party favors for a wedding, personalized candy wrappers are a snap with Avery. Along with selling for retail, personalized candy bar wrappers are perfect for promotions, inexpensive client gifts, welcome packages, and gifts with purchases. The opportunities are endless. So, in this quick step-by-step, we’ll show you how to make custom candy bar wrappers using 5 x 7 custom labels from Avery or 5 x 7 cards for a sturdier wrapper. These wrappers are great for standard 5 x 2-inch personalized Hershey’s® bars or the chocolate bar of your choice.

You can save lots of money by ordering your chocolate bars in bulk and repackaging them with foil and your custom candy wrappers labels. And with the free templates from Avery, it’s easy to personalize your candy bars exactly how you want them. Just choose a 5 x 7 template or the size you need for your candy bar, add your branding or message, and then order custom printed candy wrappers or print them yourself.

Supplies for custom candy wrappers 

We used 5×7 custom labels and cards from Avery WePrint to get vivid, full-color professional printing. But for small projects, you can also print them yourself using Avery 5×7 blank labels by the sheet and an inkjet or laser printer.
