Japan is the kingdom of cuteness, but you already knew that. Tirol’s DecoChoco has improved a very unique service started in 2008. After giving consumers the possibility to fully customize the packaging of little chocolates with their own digital photos, they made the service even cuter. The pics on the chocolates can also have the cute stamps and borders of Purikura, or popular photo-boot club machines. Japanese schoolgirls will love it!
The service has been made possible with the collaboration of the print club machines manufacturer Furyu to offer the service directly from the arcade.
It’s easy; all you have to do is take photos and decorate as your wish, the input your mobile phone number and a text message will be sent with the access link where you can place an order of your desired sweets.
