Custom Pouches & Packaging for the Candy Industry

Candy packaging does much more than simply protect the product — it’s a core part of the experience. For candy brands, packaging must deliver freshness, barrier protection, and shelf appeal that sparks joy and drives impulse buys. Whether it’s gummies, chocolates, caramels, or novelty confections, Red Dot Packaging creates custom flexible packaging that pops off the shelf and performs behind the scenes. We understand the candy market moves fast — with limited-time releases, seasonal flavors, and an ever-evolving array of textures and ingredients. That’s why we offer low minimums, lightning-fast turnarounds, and bold custom designs that bring your brand to life. Our pouches are engineered to protect sensitive products from humidity, oxygen, and light — so your treats stay as delicious as the day they were packed.

Packaging Formats Tailored for Candy Products

Red Dot’s flexible packaging solutions are built to meet the demands of candy manufacturers and delight consumers of all ages. We offer a wide range of high-performance structures that seal tightly, stand tall, and open with ease.

• Stand-Up Pouches: The go-to format for shelf-ready packaging. Ideal for gummies, chocolates, and hard candies. Great for resealability and visual presence.
• Shaped Pouches: Die-cut to unique outlines that reflect your brand personality — perfect for kid-friendly or novelty candy lines.
• Child-Resistant Pouches: Crucial for THC- or CBD-infused edibles. Certified, tamper-evident closures keep children safe while preserving freshness.
• Spouted Pouches: A smart option for liquid candies, gels, or squeezable treats.
• Rollstock Film: A cost-efficient choice for high-volume automated filling — with great barrier properties and customizable print finishes.

We pair structure with functionality. Optional add-ons include resealable zippers, tear notches, clear windows, and hang holes for convenience and merchandising.

Print & Finish Options for Candy Packaging

In the candy aisle, looks matter. Packaging must catch the eye, spark curiosity, and make your brand instantly recognizable. Red Dot delivers with premium printing and finishing options that help your product stand out.

• Digital Printing: Perfect for seasonal flavors, small-batch launches, and multi-SKU runs. High-resolution, photo-quality images with rich, consistent color.
• Flexographic Printing: Great for medium to large runs. Quick turnaround, PMS color matching, and versatile ink options like fluorescent and metallic.
• Rotogravure Printing: The gold standard for ultra-premium brands and large-scale volume. Delivers sharp detail and vibrant consistency across millions of impressions.
• Specialty Finishes: Choose from gloss, matte, soft-touch matte, or dual-finish to elevate tactile experience. Add holographic effects or metallic accents for extra dazzle.

Whether you want playful, colorful packaging for kids or sleek, sophisticated designs for adult edibles, we’ll help you bring your creative vision to life.
