Barrier Film

Some candies hate moisture. Others need protection from air or heat. We build barrier films around your product and storage needs.

Print & Color

Bold colors and full-surface printing help your logo and packaging look exactly the way you pictured them.

Custom Shape

Limited editions and one-off promotional runs do not always fit neatly into a rectangle. Custom shapes help create packaging people remember.

Common Questions About
Custom Candy Packaging

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to candy packaging. These are some of the questions we help brands answer every day.

Do different candies need different packaging?

Yes, different candies need different packaging. Gummies, hard candy, taffies, licorice, and marshmallows all behave differently and can have different packaging requirements. Moisture sensitivity, texture, and shelf-life goals all play a role.

Can I print my logo and artwork directly onto the packaging?  

Yes, custom printed candy packaging can include your logo, colors, graphics, product information, and full-surface printing.  

Do I need resealable candy packaging?  

If your product is meant to be enjoyed over multiple servings, resealable features help maintain freshness and make the package easier for customers to use. 

Can I order custom candy packaging if I already have a design?  

Yes, Polymaven can work with your ready-made design. And if you're starting with nothing more than an idea, we can take it from concept to finished artwork.   

What information needs to go on candy packaging?  

Requirements vary by product and market, but packaging typically includes ingredients, nutrition information, allergen details, net weight, and a barcode. Not sure what your product needs? Polymaven will help you figure out exactly what belongs on your packaging.  

What makes custom candy packaging different from stock packaging?  

Compared to stock packaging, custom packaging allows you to control the branding, materials, sizing, and features, the details that make your candy unmistakably yours. Candy packaging manufacturers like Polymaven custom-build the package around your product rather than handing you a one-size-fits-all option.
