Pressed candy is a type of hard candy formed by compressing powdered raw materials under high pressure.
It is suitable for making mints, milk tablets, effervescent tablets, or functional candies.
01
Mold Confirmation
➡️ Customer-supplied molds: 3D drawings or physical molds are required. The material (usually pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel) shall be confirmed, and the molds shall be sent to the factory for compatibility testing.
➡️ Factory existing molds: Select shapes from the factory mold library (round, square, special-shaped, animal/letter-shaped, etc.), usually no mold opening fee is required.
➡️ New mold development: If no suitable mold is available, a new mold needs to be developed. The cycle is about 15–25 days, and the cost is calculated based on complexity.

Formula & Flavor Development
· Basic Flavors: Fruit flavors (strawberry, lemon, orange), mint flavors (spearmint, extra cool mint), milk flavors, etc.
· Functional Additives: Vitamin C, probiotics, caffeine, plant extracts, etc., can be added (attention shall be paid to the additive regulations of the target country for export).
· Sweetener Options: Sucrose, sugar-free (xylitol) or low-sugar formulas can be selected according to market preferences.
· Sampling: The factory prepares samples to confirm taste, sweetness, and disintegration/melting speed (chewable tablets).
03
Color & Appearance
· Edible colorings are available (synthetic colorings or natural colorings such as beet red, curcumin).
· Two-color / layered: Custom double-layer pressed tablets (one color for the outer ring, another for the inner core) or speckled effect can be provided.
04
Packaging & Labeling
· Inner Packaging: Aluminum foil bags, blister packs (aluminum-plastic sheets), bottles.
· Outer Packaging: Custom color boxes, tin boxes or display boxes.
Customization Process for Chocolate Candies
Chocolate is temperature-sensitive, so the key points of customization lie in temperature adjustment, mouthfeel solubility, and oil stability.
01
Mold Confirmation
· Customer-supplied molds: Food-grade PC (polycarbonate) molds or silicone molds can be provided. PC molds feature high gloss and are suitable for pure cocoa butter chocolate; silicone molds are ideal for complex 3D shapes.
· Factory existing molds: Available molds include standard plates, spheres, truffles, and festival-themed shapes (hearts, Christmas trees, Easter eggs, etc.).
02
Chocolate Types & Flavors
Base Selection:
· Pure Cocoa Butter Chocolate: Cocoa butter content ranging from 30% to over 70% (dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate). Requires cold chain for export.
· Compound Chocolate: Uses vegetable oil instead of cocoa butter. Low cost and excellent heat resistance, suitable for export to high-temperature regions (e.g., Middle East, Africa).
Flavor Fillings:
Can be made into filled chocolates (soft center, liqueur center, jam, caramel sauce) or with crisped rice, nut fillings.
03
Color & Appearance
· Coloring: Fat-soluble pigments are used for spraying or hand-painting. Solid colors, gradient colors, and marble patterns are available.
