Personalized Small-Batch Chocolates

Jess Glebe Design Sent Out Custom Chocolate Client Gifts

— December 19, 2016 — Lifestyle
In order to celebrate an excellent year and all its successes, the creative agency Jess Glebe Design chose to create small-batch chocolates for its clients as a personalized holiday gift.

After making several batches of dark chocolate-covered sea salt caramels and dark chocolate coffee truffles, the design agency required boxes with which they could pack their gifts. As a result, it created luxurious packaging covered in black paper labeled with rose gold foil, and a wax seal on each box. Each individual gift has its own personalized messaging with the number of the box and signatures being featured.

These gifted small-batch chocolates work to strengthen the relationship between this agency and its clients while simultaneously showing off the brand's capabilities.
