Varnish
A transparent finishing layer available in gloss, satin, or matte effects. It enhances the printed surface and adds an extra layer of visual appeal and light protection.
A fully branded fudge box, artwork across the whole panel, with the window-versus-print decision and the divider that keeps pieces apart both worked through properly. Orders start from 100 units.
Fudge Boxes already covers portion size and the choice between blank stock and a fully printed run. Once full print is the route chosen, two questions specific to a branded fudge box are worth settling properly.
A window lets a buyer see the fudge itself before they commit, useful anywhere the product is being picked up and judged on sight before a sale happens. Full-coverage print does a different job entirely, carrying a brand’s own colours, story or seasonal design across the whole panel rather than leaving part of it open. The two genuinely compete for the same space: more of one always means less of the other, since a window is an area the print simply can’t occupy. Neither wins by default. A market or retail line, where the buyer is deciding on the spot, tends to favour letting the product speak for itself through a window. A gifting or seasonal line, where the unwrapping is as much the point as what’s inside, tends to favour the design covering everything instead. Somewhere between the two, a smaller window set beside a design rather than across the whole face is a genuine middle option, worth naming rather than assuming the choice is all or nothing.
Fudge is soft enough to pick up a smudge or stick against whatever it’s resting on, and that includes a second piece touching it. A die-cut divider or compartment, cut to the exact pieces going in, gives each one its own fixed spot so nothing shifts and presses against a neighbour once the box starts moving. A mixed-flavour selection has a second reason to keep pieces apart: a strongly flavoured piece sitting directly against a plainer one can pass on its own smell and taste well before the box is even opened. Food-contact material suitability is confirmed for the specific material before production. Getting the divider count and layout right earns more attention on fudge than on most confectionery, precisely because it marks and picks up flavour so easily once pieces are left touching.
Offset, digital or screen printing are all available, chosen against the design and the size of the run. Pantone references and CMYK values can be used to manage colour consistency, subject to normal variation caused by the chosen board, ink, coating and production method. Beyond the base print, a foil highlight, an embossed or debossed mark, or a spot UV detail can pick out a logo or a specific part of the design. The box’s own surface can then be finished matte, gloss or soft-touch to suit.
Orders start from 100 units. Design support is free. A digital 3D mock-up is free. There are no setup fees. Standard production takes 6 to 8 business days after approval. UK delivery is free.
Choosing the portion size first, before settling on print, is Fudge Boxes‘s own decision, with Small Fudge Boxes and 1/2 lb Fudge Boxes sized to a few squares or a standard half-pound respectively. Where a printed run isn’t wanted yet, Empty Fudge Boxes covers genuine ready-to-go stock, blank or pre-made, instead.

To some extent. A smaller window positioned alongside a design, rather than a full-panel one, can share the space, though it always trades some print area for visibility. Deciding the balance before artwork starts keeps the layout settled from day one, rather than reworked once the design is already underway.
That depends on the piece count and how they're arranged, not a fixed number across every order. Confirming both at the specification stage settles the divider count properly.
Yes, a gloss or foiled finish sits differently under light than a matte one, which can change how a nearby printed detail reads next to a window. Worth checking on the 3D mock-up before the run.
An unlaminated paperboard construction may be easier to process through suitable paper-recycling streams than a heavily laminated alternative. Final recyclability depends on the full material and finishing specification and the facilities available locally.
The box is die-cut to the weight you actually sell, so a quarter-pound tub or a mixed bag gets its own fit instead of the nearest stock size.
The price comes back on your quote rather than as a fixed rule. What does not change is the rest: the 100-unit minimum, the production time and free design support apply either way.
The grade of board is picked for the weight it will actually carry, so a full box keeps its shape. We do not publish a weight rating, and the right board is settled at the specification stage.
Food-contact material suitability is confirmed for the specific material before production. Confirming any information printed on the pack remains your business's responsibility, or that of its regulatory adviser.
