Private Label Chocolate Branding: Tio2-Free Graphics For Lollipops And Filled Chocolate
For retailers, gifting brands, hospitality providers, and marketing agencies looking to expand their private label chocolate offering, custom printed chocolates present a unique opportunity to blend product quality with on brand visual impact. At Hames Chocolates, we specialise in manufacturing premium British chocolate products for private label clients, tailored, packaged, and printed to meet your brand vision.
One of our delicious offerings is printed chocolate using Tio2-free (titanium dioxide-free) colours, ideal for clients seeking natural alternatives without compromising on colour or clarity.
Supporting A Smarter Shift: The Rise Of Tio2-Free Printing
Titanium dioxide (Tio2) has long been used in food production as a whitening and brightening agent. While still permitted in some regions, markets like the EU are moving cautiously away from its use. Although not banned outright everywhere, it is increasingly being excluded from food and confectionery lines as part of a wider transition toward clean label production.
For forward thinking private label brands, switching to Tio2-free chocolate printing is more than a precaution, it's a proactive alignment with emerging regulations and shifting consumer expectations. Our fully Tio2-free colour range offers a naturally vibrant solution that helps your brand stay ahead of the curve while supporting vegan friendly, health conscious, and transparency focused messaging.
A Versatile Palette For Custom Chocolate Branding
Our exclusive colour palette is made from natural and mineral based ingredients such as rice starch, spirulina, and permitted food colourants. These colours are simulated across all major chocolate types—white, milk, and dark so you can confidently preview how your artwork will translate onto your final product.
Choose from two finishes:
• Standard Colours – Subtle, classic tones suitable for softer branding.
• Crea Colours – Brighter, high saturation tones that stand out on shelves or in hand.
All colours are suitable for food contact, and many are vegan friendly, ideal for brands targeting ethical or lifestyle driven segments.
