People are always looking for that unique gift to give someone. Pen sets, key chains and other popular items are received well but sometimes folks want that certain something else.In comes a technology that can print any image onto chocolate. Not only that but it can be done for price ranges of $2 to $25 making it very affordable to give a gift that is truly unique. This technology can print onto all kinds of different chocolate designs like lollipops and truffles and it also includes milk, white and dark chocolates.
When a person receives this unique gift they surely will remember it. Why? Two reasons. One they enjoy the delicious chocolate that has a custom image printed with FDA approved food coloring on it. It is not something that is normal and people like uniqueness. The second reason is the shelf life of this chocolate as a memento lasts for up to 10 yrs if stored out of direct sun. So either they can eat the gift or look at it. Very unique!
What else is cool about the technology used to print on chocolate is that it takes only minutes. The steps are simple with this patented technology.
Provide a picture
Choose chocolate design
Input picture into special software
Print image onto chocolate using patented printer technology and equipment
Enjoy a unique gift!!!
Another cool thing that can be done with this technology is doing live events. Because the steps required are really quick and the equipment is efficiently designed a live event can be set-up that prints images onto chocolate right in front of people’s eyes. It is the same steps mentioned above except instead of submitting a picture via email or a scan, a “live event” team member takes a digital picture and uploads into the software. The whole process takes about 5-10 minutes per person.
Live events are something that people do not forget, especially kids at parties. You should see there faces when someone takes a picture of them and then superimposes it to a background image of a Looney Tunes character which happens to be the theme of the party. Then in 5 minutes they have their very own birthday party souvenir item. Awesome!!!
Printing images on chocolate is a truly unique gift idea and people always talk about it. Whatever imagination someone can use to come up with a memorable image, adding chocolate to it always adds that extra something.
Below is a short video from the inventors of the technology that Sweet Like You uses for its products. It is a very good description of the entire Chocolography process.
