Need glassine for chocolate


Rhubarb

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for glassine pads and sheets, for chocolate packaging. The Revere Group carries some pads, but I don't like the gold/white color scheme--and they don't seem to have thin sheets of glassine at all. The company I used to work for has brown pads and brown sheets, but I haven't been able to find a source for these (and I doubt they have them custom made). Anyone have any leads?

Here is the only american one I could find when I was on the same mission.

can you tell they've had some customer service issues in the past?! :raz:

The part about not tolerating abuse regardless of who you are, who you think you are, who you know - THAT was funny! I don' know how appropriate it is, but after a long day at work, it made me chuckle and I sure could use a good laugh!

Many sites list the pads as "candy pads" which drove me nuts a year ago when I was looking for the same products.

No one in the world knew what I was referring to when I used the word glassine, even showed some sales staff at packaging stores some I had gotten from commercial chocolate boxes and they didn't have a clue until I dropped glassine from my queries.

Maybe there is another type or use for glassine out there that causes the confusion, I don't know.

I don't have experience with any specific vendors as I didn't end up ordering anything, but I found a lot of sites selling candy pads, just google it.

Good luck.
