What operations make up the process of production of candy: technology
The production process depends on what kind of candy do. The composition, form, stages of production, lists of the necessary equipment are distinguished.
Several production stages are distinguished:
- Candidage mass production. It includes water, sugar, milk, patok, butter, various additives.
- Formation. For molding there are several methods. One of the common is the casting of the mass in the corn starch. The temperature at which the process passes depends on the type of candy.
- Glazing confectionery. Thanks to the glaze, the product remains fresh and gentle.
- Drying. In special equipment, the goods are cooled, structures, hardens.
- Packaging. The product is packaged in a wrap or box.
Learn more about the preparation of popular species of candy, let's next.
Caramel
Caramel production requires low-cost equipment, is not different complexity.
First, saharo-patch syrup are created, caramel mass. It can be prepared by mixing sugar in a solution under pressure or by mixing with a molate to the desired consistency and humidity. After the mass is processed - cooled, flavored, presented and pulled out.
Fillings are added depending on the recipe. For the production of caramels of different species use various ingredients.
At the next stage, the product is formed and cooled. The finished caramel wraps, is sprinkled, gluits, it is treated, either glazes chocolate. After the finished product goes on the packaging.
Truffles
Truffle candies can be made according to the following scheme:
- Create a semi-finished product - chocolate-chopped chocolate mass of desired fatty.
- To prepare chocolate mass in the equipment, chocolate and oils are flooded (cocoa, coconut). The machine thoroughly mixes components.
- The resulting composition is tempted - for several hours freezes.
- The candy mass is knocked down in special windows.
- After the truffles are formed. They are in cooling machines until they reach a stable form.
- At the final stage of the case, candies are sprinkled.
- The product enters the packaging department.
Truffle is harder. Here are great importance to both the recipes and the quality of the ingredients. Equipment for such production is quite expensive.
Dragee
Dragee does not differ in great complexity. The peculiarity of these candies is solid corps. The housings are several types (depending on the hardness). Dry themselves are made from a small crystalline substance obtained by knocking out the shame-daca mass.
Three main stages of dragee production:
- cooking enclosures;
- their kind;
- shiny.
The mass is molded, collapsed in starch, templar to form the body of the desired hardness around the dragee. Then products are driving - that is, covered with powder, icing. At the shiny stage, the product is covered with a moisture-proof awesome composition.
Equipment for the production of dragee is inexpensive and quickly pays off.
Where to start a business?
The main article of expenditure at the organizational stage is a production line capable of producing high-quality candy. It must be delivered to the factory and install - the cost of this work lay on a businessman.
Table 2. The size of the initial costs for business for the production of candy.
Calculations are relevant for the city with a population of up to 1 million people. Additional expenses are taken into account the costs of utility payments, advertising, cosmetic repair, creation, development and printing of packaging.
check in
Register a candy house can be in the form of an IP (individual) or LLC (legal entity). The first option is suitable if the entrepreneur plans to trade in small batches. The second allows you to increase production volumes and scope - it becomes easier to negotiate with trading networks to sell your product.
When registering in the FTS, the OKVED code 10.82.2 "Production of chocolate and sugar confectionery products" is indicated.
After cooking the first batch of goods, it should be given to check in Rospotrebnadzor. It tests products, checks the manufacturing technology for compliance with the norms of GOST 4570-2014 "Candy. General specifications. " If everything is in order, give a certificate of conformity.
Purchase of the ingredients
The size of the cost of raw materials depends on the type of candies and their recipes. All questions on procurement must be coordinated with a technologist, which knows which ingredients are necessary to create a quality product.
Common raw material for the production of candy:
- sugar;
- cocoa butter, cocoa powder (base);
- eggs;
- milk;
- syrup;
- gelatin;
- agar;
- vanilla and other taste additives;
- nuts, seed of plants, berries, fruits (for filling).
It is important to buy high quality raw materials for production. It improves the quality of the finished product. Remember that competition is high - only delicious candy will use sustainable demand.
Candy Production Equipment
Our business plan is designed to buy a lines for the production of candies consisting of:
- ball mill;
- temperating machine;
- capacities for extractors;
- cab machines;
- refrigeration installation;
- lines for packaging.
It will also be necessary to purchase molds.
This equipment provides automation of the process of manufacturing candy, performs the entire necessary sequence of actions. Mixtures and ingredients are manually loaded. Line performance - up to 150 kg per hour. Power - up to 40 kW.
Installation and training of employees is manufactured by the manufacturer. Equipment for mini shop can be purchased in Russia or China, in the presence of funds - in Germany.
Room
For the organization of a mini-plant, a size of 250 square meters will be required. m. Here are equipped here:
- Work workshop with equipment. The production line takes a lot of space. In the workshop, you need to equip ventilation systems, three-phase current, water supply, sewage, heating.
- Warehouses for finished products and raw materials.
- Premises for staff (rest room, changing room).
- Administrative premises.
- Bathroom.
Geographically, the factory is better to arrange quite far from the residential areas - perhaps on the outskirts or in an industrial area (where rent is cheaper). This location will allow you to quickly deliver the goods to the shops. The plant should have a convenient transportation entrance.
Complete SES and fire inspection checks. Services will check the workshop for compliance with mandatory requirements.
Staff
For the opening of a small production, a large staff of employees will not need. The production line is automated - employees remains to manage the process of work, to load the technique in time, ensure the continuity of the process.
For the first time, 4 workers on the line are enough. Two more will be required for warehouse work.
Manage personnel, as well as the quality of production, there will be a technologist / senior on the workshop. Its main tasks - acceptance of the finished product, assessing its quality. Technologist will have to search - this position needs a person with experience.
For reporting, invite an accountant. First, it can be hired on Poltavka or Outsourcing.
Marketing and sales
You can sell candy through your store or through trading networks. It is advisable to open your trading point only in a favorable place and in the presence of sufficient funds.
Businessman will have to make efforts to interest people, encourage them to buy a new product:
- Create a brand. People remember something simple, but at the same time bright and spectacular. Branding - an important point.
- If there is sufficient capital, you can order advertising on televisions, place posters on billboards in the city, use the media to disseminate information about the new product, a new brand.
- Conduct promotions, discounts and tastings in stores. Order competent merchandising. Perform shares through groups in social networks.
Financial Plan: Calculations of profitability and payback
The amount of initial costs is 9.78 million rubles.
Equipment performance - 150 kg / h. For an 8-hour shift, you can make 1.2 tons. According to plan, the plant will work in one shift 22 days per month. Production volume for this period - 26.4 tons of sweets.
The price will vary greatly depending on the type and quality of candy. For example, one of the lowest wholesale prices is taken - 130 rubles. per kg. When selling the whole product made for the month, you can get a little more than 3.4 million rubles.
The total amount of monthly costs is 1.1 million rubles.
Net profit will be 2.3 million rubles.
Business on candy can pay off for 4.2 months. You can achieve this in full loading of the equipment and selling the entire product created for the month. For the new production, payback period can be increased 3 times - up to 12.6 months.
Table 3. Economic rationale for business ideas.
The production of candies in its own factory can be called a profitable business. The figures shown in the table clearly demonstrate it. Of course, this is an approximate calculation - it does not take into account tax deductions and several other cost articles.
Before discovery, it is necessary to carefully study the peculiarities of the market and the behavior of consumers. For example, candy more often buy for holidays, they are also well sold in the cold season when sweets go to hot tea. Accounting for these features will help in promoting and increasing sales.
Candy is a product that almost all people love. For this reason, many people who want to start their own business are paying attention to this product. The fact is that the confectionery market is quite sustainable to various economic drops. Gifts, buying children, as well as personal preferences make this segment very attractive among relatively large number of buyers. In the event that you still firmly decided to open your own business in this area, the first, without which it is not necessary, so it is without a candy production line.
Candy production technology
In order to have an idea of \u200b\u200bhow the production line functions is the production of various types of sweets, you need to have an idea of \u200b\u200bsome basic concepts.
First you need to decide how you represent these favorite sweets. So, sweets are confectionery, which are obtained from candy masses with a soft consistency.
Mixing device ingredients This product is characterized by a rather high nutritional value, has more than 1 thousand varieties and diverse in shape, taste and composition.
The technological process of manufacturing candies includes several stages:
- In the first stage, the ingredients are mixed, which are included in the fondar mass.
- Next, the resulting mixture is formed and molded into special forms.
- At the next stage, the shape with the fondant mass is driven through the cooling system.
- Then the glazing happens.
- The final stage is the packaging of products.
Preparation of candy masses
Foreign Candy Formation The candy mass is a confectionery mass that goes to cooking candy. All of them are divided into:
- Summer. They are obtained from lipstick, which is prepared on the basis of sugar and dairy syrups by introducing various taste and flavoring additives into it.
- Praline and marzipanov. Praline masses are obtained from roasted nuts, and marzipanov - from raw or roasted.
- Keeping. These masses are obtained in the process of knocking out foaming agents and syrup and with the mandatory administration of taste and aromatic additives.
- Liquor. These are masses that are saturated solutions of sucrose, in which milk, fruit blanks, flavoring and aromatic additives are added, and the mandatory component is alcohol (brandy, liqueur, etc.).
- Grill. All grill masses are divided into solid and soft. Solid grillage - the mass obtained by melting sugar with the addition of nuts into it (so, from the confectionery production line, the "Prometheus" candy is published). Soft grill - fruit mass, which is boosted with nuts or candied nuts.
- Cream. These are foamy masses that were formed due to the restoration of the latter with fats, taste and aromatic additives, milk syrup.
- Jelly fruit. These masses are characterized by a study-like structure and divide on fruit, jelly-fruit and jelly. Fruit is obtained from fruit-berry puree; Jelly-fruit - from the same puree, as well as the first, but with the addition of agar, and the jelly - with the addition of agar, agaroid and starch.
Molding candy
The formation line of candy molding is the process of giving the candles of a certain form and appearance. Most often on candy production lines, this process is carried out by casting, because thanks to this, you can get sweets of various shapes. Such molding is carried out in special forms that are pre-seated in starch. 
Candy glazing line Glazing is carried out at once for several reasons. Firstly, this process protects the body of the product from exposure to outside, secondly, increases the food value of the product, thirdly, gives a beautiful appearance and, fourth, affects taste. Glazing is a process of coating candy with a thin layer of various masses (chocolate, fatty and other).
Packaging and storage
Candy packing line This is the final stage when the filling of the final product is made on the lines for the production of candies. The final product is wrapped in foil or label. Most of the candies release in wrapped or packaged. Finished products are stored at temperatures up to +18 degrees, air humidity should not exceed 75% in a well-ventilated room.
Technology of chocolate chocolates
If we talk about lines for the production of chocolate candies, then all of them are automated and high-mechanized, exceptions are expensive candy manufactured solely manually.
Candy prepared manually The production of this all beloved sweet foods occurs in special factories in confectionery shops, so at the initial stages of opening your business in this area, you need to consider and explore the mass of subtleties relating to both the technological side of the issue and legal.
At the moment there are several lines for the production of chocolate chocolates:
- The chocolate candy production line called Shell is the traditional technology that allows you to make chocolate tiles and other solid products with filling.
- Line with One Shot technology - the production of chocolate candies is carried out in one stage.
In addition, chocolate chocolate technology is impossible to submit without the following equipment: a temperature machine, ancase machine, chocolate and ball mill, sugar grinding mill, refrigeration tunnels, accumulative tanks. A set of necessary equipment directly depends on what kind of chocolate you plan to produce.
Technology of fondant candy
Forest candy production line includes the following equipment:
Sandy candies glazed chocolate - Boiler.
- Filter.
- Equipment for the preparation of fondant masses.
- Steam generator.
- Temperating machine.
- Speeding machine.
The manufacture of fondant candies is also a special process that consists of certain stages. At the initial stage, the syrup is prepared, followed by its feeding, further - the process of filtering and knocking down the fondar mass. Then, before the process of tempting (one of the main stages of chocolate production), the fondant mass is dosed and mixed. After that, the formation of the final product occurs. And the final stage on the production of fondant candies involves packing the finished product.
The confectionery industry is considered one of the leading industries if we talk about the food industry. If you believe the numbers, then in terms of the volume of products, it takes the second stage in the world. That is why, if you decide to start a business in this area, first of all, you need to take care of the acquisition of high-quality lines for the production of candy.
Video: Handmade candies
Since childhood, it was candy for many favorite delicacy. Moreover, these confectionery products are so popular and diverse that they probably have the most delicious and favorite candy, which only positive emotions give. Love for candy begins in childhood. And often, children with the immediacy inherent in them and faith in a miracle say that in the future they will definitely open the confectionery factory, on which tasty candy will produce for every taste! By the way, if you had exactly such a dream in childhood, it was time to embody her in life - a factory for the production of candies in Russia may be a reality.
Features of candy production
To organize the "sweet" business, however, will have to work a little and spend certain financial resources for the start of activity. After all, that the factory needs to buy equipment for the production of candies, immediately find an excellent supplier, which offers quality raw materials for the production of candy and explore the work technology. And all these are the costs of strength and money.
For the manufacture of different candies, different raw materials are used, the technological scheme for the production of candies is also different.
Mostly sweet confectionery highlight three groups:
- Candy glazed, which are made of one or several sweet masses at once, and on top covered with icing.
- Cheerful candy - not covered with icing.
- Spray candies - covered with cocoa powder, chicken nut, waffle, chocolate.
As for the main candy mass, the raw materials for it use the most diverse. There are confectionery products that produce only from one candy mass - such candy are called simple. And there are products that prepare from several masses at the same time - they are called complex. Depending on the ingredients, the candied masses are highlighted fondant, knocked, fruit-jelly, dairy or pralines, liqueur, cream or marzipan, grill or others.
Candy production - where to start?
Open its production of sweets is, it means working in a highly mechanized, automated industry. The main mass of candies in the modern world helps to produce a line for the production of candies, manual labor at the same time minimized. Equipment for the production of chocolate chocolates is presented on the market in a wide range and is intended for the manufacture of different types of sweets. But buy a line for the production of chocolate chocolates or pick up the equipment for working with jelly or fondant candy decides the entrepreneur. Usually, when opening small enterprises, choose one or two lines for the start of activity, and larger factories use more serious, diverse equipment, which allows to offer consumers a wide range of confectionery products.
Otherwise, business for the production of candies begins, as any other type of business - issuing documents for the possibility of business activities, making a business plan, studying competitors and choosing the main range of products. The following important steps are to find and rent a suitable room, buying equipment and hiring qualified personnel. As soon as all the listed steps are completed, you can start searching for a supplier of high-quality raw materials and the start of production.
The main stages of the production of candies and the necessary equipment
Candy production technology depends on the type of product produced. For each variety of sweets there is a separate equipment that has certain principles of operation.
But you can also allocate the main stages of the production of sugar-based confectionery products:
- Preparation of existing raw materials.
- Preparation of semi-finished products for the manufacture of candy mass.
- Preparation of canding masses.
- Actually the formation of candy - depends on the type of candy. It can be a fill in the shape, casting into starch or sugar, wrapping with the subsequent sharp, rolling with the subsequent sharp, forming on caramel equipment, vibropressing.
- Formation of the structure of candies.
- Finishing finish.
- Packaging.
For the production of high-quality and delicious candies, not only modern equipment is needed, but also high-quality raw materials. It is very important to use natural ingredients. And if you can do without dyes and preservatives in the formulation, it is impossible, then in the product they should be contained within the normal range. In addition, preservatives should not be harmful to the human body. It is advisable to take European norms into account, since domestic is a bit outdated.
Talking about equipment for the production of sweets can be much due to its diversity. Of course, each entrepreneur solves independently what to acquire. Plays the role and price of equipment for the production of candy. But it is still not difficult to allocate the main types of machines necessary for work. This is a dough, a cleaning machine for cooking without a filling, a cooking machine for cooking with a filling, a wine-decorating line, a cooling conveyor, a guillotine for cutting, a packing machine. This list of a kind of minimum set of equipment for the production of a fairly wide range of candy.
Mini factory or large factory?
About what business is better to invest in the means reflecting any novice entrepreneur. Everyone understands that opening a small business is easier and less costly, but also income from activity will not be too high. It is much more profitable to open a large enterprise with a wide turnover. But this option requires serious investments of funds that do not have every businessman. Therefore, rarely entrepreneurs begin with large investments. Most often, small confectionery factories are opened - and at the price is available, and the risks are minimal.
Mini Candy Plant is a very good version of activities for those who have long dreamed of a "sweet" business, but has a small starting capital. Initial investments can be enough to buy high-quality equipment that allows one type of candy. A high-quality product with competent planning activities will successfully enter the market and will allow a decent income in a short time.
Usually mini factories work for several years. After this period, they are either closed, as the entrepreneur cannot find his sales market and is not able to get ahead of competitors, why the profit goes to the decline, or tiny companies will develop into large factories, producing different types of sweets. The second case is a clear example of successful activities. The resulting profit gives great opportunities for expanding the production, studying new technologies of work and supply in the market of new varieties of delicious candy.
There is another starter option with minimal investments for the production of confectionery products - mini production of handmade candies. In this case, financial investments are minimized, since it does not need complex equipment, expensive lines for glazing, forming and packing candies. It will take only high-quality raw materials, interesting recipes and the skilled hands of the author of chocolate masterpieces. Yes, yes, it is masterpieces, because simple candies do not create hands. So you need to be ready immediately to the high cost of chocolate chocolates, cooked with the tenderness and love of the clever handles of the pastry. But this is a separate story - handmade candies Nowadays, still rarity and sold only in certain places.
If you do not consider cooking with hands, the production of sweets of any scale requires serious financial investments and high strengths. The organization of work must be thought out, effective, which is not for everyone. But when there is a doubt to open the "sweet" business or search for simpler and cheap starting options, it is necessary to remember that the production of chocolate chocolates is expensive at the beginning, in the future will bring solid income. All invested funds with interest will pay off for a fairly short time and will help if necessary to significantly expand the production to reach a more serious level.
To open your confectionery shop, the first thing you need to register with the IFTS. There are two options here: register as a llc or an individual entrepreneur.In the first case, you will need more time and documents. But here you can make transactions not only with physical, but also with legal entities. The second option will require a smaller tax.
In addition to registration, a novice entrepreneur must collect a number of documents: the resolution of territorial bodies, Rospotrebnadzor, fire inspection. If the premises for the pastry shop will be rented, the fire resolution will not need.
Market Analysis and Required Equipment
To open your workshop, it is necessary to clearly decide on the type of products. It is important that the products differ from competitors.To start a business, it is necessary to explore the main stages of cooking candy. They include: kneading the sweet mass, casting into special forms, cooling, applying glaze and packaging. It is important that the sweets must be stored for several days in stock and only then implemented.
Candy can be made of various types: with icing, with filler, grill and so on. The chocolate base itself is made from natural milk and cocoa.
It should be noted that special equipment will be required to organize the workshop. It is possible to include temporing machines, refrigeration tunnels. The latter are used to apply the glaze. Confectionery is always maximally automated and mechanized. This will require considerable costs.
To date, lines for the production of candies of small power (150-200 kg per day) are very popular. For such a technological process, no more than 100 square meters will be required. m.
In addition to the equipment, you will need to purchase transport, premises for office or warehouse.
Molds are of great importance for quality products. They are made from polycarbonate and have a different configuration.
The last stage of the confectionery organization is to establish trade relations.
Candy production is a highly profitable business. The discovery of even a small shop will require its owner of the exact knowledge of all stages of work and greater initial capital.
In this article:
Project goal: justifying financial and economic efficiency and technically possible implementation of chocolate chocolates in the territory of the Russian Federation. The main criterion is chosen a conservative scenario for the development of events, the calculation of prices is given by inflation. The project has a significant economic potential based on the assessment of the current state of the market.
Concept of the project for the production of chocolate candies
It is planned to build production and warehouse space or leased, installation of equipment for the production of products. It is planned an initial range of glazed fondant candies and chocolate:
- glazed with chocolate icing of oval candy shape, having a filling of a chocolate-fondant mass of another taste. The ratio of the mass 60/40%. Candy weight up to 12 grams;
- glazed chocolate glaze of oval shape candy with jelly stuffing. The ratio of mass 70/30%, the weight of the candy is up to 11.5 grams;
- chocolate tile weighing 100 grams, with a pattern.
Analysis of the Confectionery Market
Confectionery market and chocolate chocolate (chocolate) are resistant to the crisis of economy crisis. Present and buying children, gifts and personal preferences make this segment of products quite popular among the wide consumer masses.
At the moment, the Russian market, in particular the business of chocolate chocolate chocolates, is represented by a wide range of products in the form of chocolate: milk, porous, black or ordinary with various fillers; Chocolate candies of the most diverse shape and fillers. In the value ratio to the segment of the sale of chocolate candies and tiles accounts for 1/3 of the overall implementation of confectionery products.
Should consider that the production of chocolate chocolates depends on the seasonAt the time of the greatest burst (festive and pre-holiday days), production can increase by 300%. During the rest of the time, the enterprise load can be carried out by only 30-60% of the planned power.
The most popular product is wealthy candies and chocolate tiles, the sale is represented by regional representative offices of large confectionery companies. There are posses in this: the cost of delivery and payment of office representative offices increase the cost of their products by 6-8%.
For example, Nestle candy has a cost of $ 3 per 1 kg, their sales in the regions is $ 8 for the same kilogram. The production of candies in its region makes it possible to reduce the price of your own product of high consumer demand.
Consumer behavior in relation to confectionery
Active buyers of chocolate chocolate and chocolate are 65% of buyers, regardless of the season, buying this product 3-4 times a week, and 20% are not enough, buying once a week. Thus, given the number of population in the region, it is possible to calculate the production of chocolate chocolates and chocolate tiles in advance.
Project manufacturing plan
1. Rental of premises: manufacturing workshop and warehouse. Mandatory drawing up a contract for the established regulation. Construction of additional facilities (office and household premises), rental of transport for delivery of products to outlets.
2. Installation and installation of necessary equipment, commissioning, launch of the production line.
3. Production process of candy production.
Candy production technology consists of several stages:
- mixing of individual ingredients of the fondant mass;
- cooking process;
- molding or fondation casting into special oval forms;
- Run forms through cooling systems;
- glazing candies with chocolate fondant;
- cooling;
- Packaging products in wrapper paper.
Technology production of chocolate tiles:
- mixing ingredients of chocolate mass;
- cooking process;
- casting into special forms;
- run through the cooling system;
- packing tiles in wrapper paper.
Equipment for the production of chocolate candies
It should be noted that the candy production line consists of four sites, each of which has its own range of equipment:
1. Plot for the manufacture of canding masses:
- universal cooking machine, serves for cooking, mixing and emptying the mass, with automatic control;
- weight device for dosage components of a fondant or chocolate mass;
- pump loading for the supply of mass on casting;
- dosing pump for flavors, acids, dyes for fondant and chocolate.
2. Installation of castings:
- installing one-shot casting with servo and electronically controlled;
- conveyor forms for casting;
- cooling cabinet, including a control cabinet and cold air preparation station;
- forms.
3. Candy production line (for hoods):
- table for feeding products to the glazing machine;
- glazing machine;
- pump for reverse supply of excess mass.
4. Automatic packing line for wrapping candies:
- distribution facilities for filing candy in warehouses.
The technological scheme for the production of chocolate candies and chocolate tiles is quite complex, requires highly qualified personnel and good technician.
Consumption for the purchase of equipment, the rental of premises is about $ 50,000, which is a starting capital. The estimated time of self-sufficiency and profitability of the enterprise is 5-8 years. The expected profit per year is 36% of the starting capital.
Analysis of income and expenses
Lease costs (construction) and raw materials are 77% of the total starting capital, the following paragraph in the cost of expenses is on electricity, water and gas - 7.5-8%. The wages fund is 8% of total expenses, 3-5% safety contributions and taxes, 7% of other expenses in which advertising costs and product promotion are included.
The dynamics of reducing the load costs for the cost of production is designed for 5 years, after which the costs are stabilized and the price may remain fixed.
Product production plan
Considering the structure of variable costs, it can be seen that the highest costs of funds (more than 77%) goes to purchase raw materials. Thus, the cost of production costs is:
the amount of costs for raw materials + the amount of the salary fund and communications costs, rental, taxes + 6% to increase profits.
On a more simplified formula:
the amount of expenses + 37-38% of the cost of expenses \u003d cost of 1 kg of candies.
Risk of product demand
In order for the company to be considered advantageous to calculate the minimum critical level of production volume taking into account seasonal sales.
Costs for the salary fund (per year) + taxes (per year) + costs of utilities and rent (per year) / divided into the amount of total annual income \u003d minimum volume of products in kg per day.
Thus, the minimum (critical) cost of sweets (taking into account the risk) is $ 6 per kg - this is a threshold value of the selling price for the production of chocolate and sweets, the minimum volume of production per day from 5 tons.
Business for the production of candies is quite risky due to its quality requirements and beautiful design. Packaging material for sweets and chocolate tiles must comply with the company's positive imagine.
The packaging material is cheapest to be considered if you make it yourself. This will require:
- special packaging paper and foil (for chocolate), and cardboard (for making candy boxes);
- inkjet printer for printing;
- computer.
Production of candy boxes has its own characteristics:
- cardboard has a corresponding certificate that allows you to use it in the food industry;
- manufactured on the finished Correction;
- can be used for automatic and manual packaging.
