Birthday Child-23


Here you will find the answers to the more frequently asked questions that most people have.  If you cannot find your answers here, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

What is this I see about "Standard" wrappers vs. "Full" wrappers?

Hershey's changed their style of wrappers to the new tamper-proof, sealed kind. These are referred to as "Full" because they're bigger. However, a lot of people prefer the original style with the foil showing on the ends. We can recreate that look with beautiful colored foil that complements the designer wrap. The "full" wraps are longer and have crimped and scalloped edges. You can choose either style according to your preference - just let us know. (NOTE: If you are ordering wrappers-only, please keep in mind the work involved to attach the wrapper with either method, and whether this is something you want to do.)

Do the 'foil' ones cost more?

The cost of the foil and double-wrapping on the old-style ones vs. the cost of larger paper, crimping and scalloping on the new-style ones is equal, so our prices are the same for both.

Do you handle the candy at all?

No, never. All candy is kept in its original wrapper. What we do is to enclose the original wrapper with our design, in keeping with the Allowed Use Policy by Hershey's. When you receive it, all you will see is the pretty designer wrap, but when you open it you will see the original underneath.

What about the nutritional information - I have peanut allergies?

  • The original wrapper with all nutritional information will be underneath the Designer wrap. 
  • You will tell us what type of candy you wish to use for your event. We will get that type of candy and will not substitute anything without informing you first (and only if we cannot locate the exact type you want).

What kind of paper do you use?

We use several different kinds of paper, depending on the project we have. A real favorite is a high-quality paper with a soft gloss, which gives a lovely, lustrous sheen to the wrappers. This will give you outstanding, brilliant results. We also use lightweight card stock for mintbooks and other items.

What kind of printing will you use?

You have a choice of laser color (almost waterproof, and has a lovely sheen in and of itself), or rich color inkjet (not waterproof but can be laminated). The colors are wonderful, saturated and bright on both methods, but some people prefer one over the other. If you like, we can print out a sample on each and email pictures of them to you so you can choose. Please keep in mind that not all computer monitors are the same and some will show colors differently than they really are. That's beyond our control, but we are sure you will be happy with the results.

Are wrappers and mintbooks waterproof?

Laser printing won't run, but inkjet will unless laminated. If you are ordering labels for water bottles or wrappers for children's parties, you definitely want to make sure they're waterproofed as much as is humanly possible. Please let us know if this is an important detail.

Why do you sell "wrappers only" as well as "with candy"?

During the hot summer months (May-October, depending what part of the country you're in), it is *not advisable* to ship chocolate in the mail because it will melt. No problem, we can do wrappers-only for those kinds of situations! You get the designer wrappers and instructions on how to wrap them, and then you can get the candy yourself, locally. That way, you can keep it from melting.

Where can I find the candy?

From your local stores such as Costco's, various Dollar stores, Sam's Club, Target, Safeway, and so on.

Can I have a photo or logo on my wrapper?

Yes! You may email us a digital image, or you may send it by postal mail for us to scan (your original will be returned with your order). Any Logos or photos can be emailed to us. Please be sure it is in .jpg format and at least 300 dpi. PLEASE NOTE: It is your responsibility to get permission from the photographer if your photograph was done professionally before it can be used for this purpose.

If you have a business and would like us to use your company logo, we can do that. However, we'll need signed permission by the copyright owner prior to using it. We are very sorry, but we cannot use any characters or logos that are copyrighted to someone else without written permission.

Due to trademark and copyright laws, images we absolutely can not use include anything by Disney, Barbie, Dora, Sesame Street, Spongebob, Blues Clues, etc. We can find you something that fits the color scheme and style of the character theme, we just can't actually use any images of the characters. They are copyrighted. Thank you for understanding.

Can I request a custom design?

Absolutely! If you need something unique, just give us a call or an email. We're happy to create something special just for you. Your order entitles you to three (3) unique design choices, and three (3) major changes are included plus all spelling corrections.

Please be aware that if you do choose this option, your order will obviously take longer to complete. So if you need a custom design, please add extra time before your delivery date to make sure we can come up with a design that will be everything you imagine.

Can I see what my wrapper will look like?

Yes! We actually require all our customers to check their wrapper "proof" to catch any design or spelling errors before printing. Since you are most familiar with the information, we need to rely on you to find any spelling errors. We can email you a sample proof, or meet with you in person if you are local. We can also send your proof through the mail if you prefer and if time permits.

What happens if I find a spelling mistake after I've approved the final draft?

If your order has not been printed, changes can be made at no cost. If printing has started, a minimal fee will be charged to reprint your order.

Okay, the draft looks perfect. When will my order be ready?

Your order will be ready within the shortest timeframe possible. Usually, you can expect your order to be completed within 7 business days. If you need your order sooner, please let us know and we'll see what we can do.

How far in advance do I need to place my order?

We request that you place your order no less than 14 business days before the event.  Please keep in mind all of the various stages that production needs to go through (designing, proofing, printing, wrapping, and shipping), and plan accordingly. If you wish to pay by check, please add another ten days to your order to allow it to clear.

Can I cancel my order? Do you have a return policy?

  • Because personalized items are unique to you and to you alone, if your order has already been printed, then we're very sorry but we can't make any refunds. You will receive your order as requested.
  • If you need to cancel before we've actually started production, you will receive a 90% refund, less 10% to cover our expenses in preparing and designing.
  • If you approve the final draft and we start production, and then you discover an error you missed before, let us know and we will reprint your order for a minimal additional charge.
  • After delivery, if you find an error that we made that was not on the final proof, we will re-do the order at absolutely no cost to you.
  • Shipping charges are non-refundable.
