I have recently started producing moulded chocolate bars with a variety of toppings, on a small scale to compliment my range of hand made chocolate truffles. I am only a very small scale producer, marketing at country shows & festivals, and with a small (but growing!) number of private customers.
I’m having a problem with packaging for these bars. I want to package in cellophane to show off the bars, but all the bags I can find are gusseted, which isn’t really ideal. I have thought about cellophane bags used by greeting card producers, but I think they would be too thin.
Does anyone know where I can source plain flat cellophane bags, strong enough for chocolate bars?

I have a chocolate shop near me(east Dulwich, london) that pakages it’s own bars. It put a lable on the front, obviously, but if my memory serves me they are clear. I’ll see if i can ask her when i walk past tonight and if i think the info might be of use i’ll let you know.
What sort of truffles/couv do you make/use? if i may ask. Sounds interesting

Hi,
Have you tried Keylink?
They sell packaging – white bar wrappers and also cellophane bags to fit the bars.
Not cheap!

Thanks Bala – I’ve tried Keylink (already get quite a lot of stuff from them), but all their bags are gusseted or designed to stand up when full. I’m using these at the moment, but they’re not quite right.
