Frequently Asked Questions

Custom advent calendars are tailor-made promotional products used for countdowns — typically 12, 24 or 30 days — to celebrate Christmas, product launches, events, or seasonal campaigns. Whether you choose a traditional advent calendar with chocolate or a luxury version with drawers, everything from the size, layout, finish, and branding can be fully customised to suit your business needs.

We offer both luxury advent calendars and traditional advent calendars, depending on your content, audience, and budget.

Our luxury advent calendars are premium, rigid board builds with full customisation — ideal for beauty, cosmetic, candle or fragrance advent calendars. Choose from a wide range of options: offset or digital printing, gold/silver foiling, embossing, laser engraving, UV varnish, ribbons, LED lighting, magnetic closures, textile linings, and much more. Drawers can be filled with branded gifts, cosmetics, or small treats — anything that fits your dimensions.

As leading advent calendar manufacturers, we make sure every element aligns with your brand’s vision and quality standards.

Traditional chocolate advent calendars are the more affordable alternative, typically made from folding box board and filled with 24 pieces of solid milk chocolate. These calendars are still fully customisable in terms of artwork, format (portrait, landscape or square), and print finish — making them perfect corporate branded advent calendars for giveaways, product promotions, and festive direct mail campaigns.

All chocolates are suitable for vegetarians, Kosher, and Halal diets.

Branded advent calendars are a memorable way to increase brand visibility during peak marketing seasons. Whether used as corporate gifts, customer rewards, or promotional countdowns to a product launch, they engage recipients daily and associate your brand with joy, surprise, and value.

Our calendars are frequently used for company advent calendars, promotional advent calendars, and beauty cosmetics advent calendars — driving interaction, loyalty, and social media exposure.

Our custom advent calendars can be enhanced with a wide variety of premium finishes and materials, including:

• Offset or digital printing
• Hot foil logos (gold, silver, rose gold, etc.)
• UV varnish and spot gloss
• Laser engraving and embossing
• Decorative bows, ribbons, magnetic closures
• LED lighting and internal dividers
• Lamination (matte, gloss, non-scratch)
• Textiles, artificial leather, and speciality papers

We can guide you through the full range of advent calendar printing options available to match your brand’s goals.

We use high-quality solid milk chocolate suitable for vegetarians, Kosher, and Halal diets. These chocolates are also used in our Ramadan advent calendars. If you’re ordering a luxurious advent calendar, we can source and insert other contents upon request.

Yes — for both luxury and traditional advent calendars, we offer full-colour CMYK printing behind each door. This is a great way to include promotional messaging, inspirational quotes, giveaways, QR codes, or branding throughout the calendar.

We can provide traditional advent calendar samples (without foil) from previous projects. For luxury advent calendars, we offer a bespoke sample service for an additional charge, as each calendar is unique in size and design.

If you go ahead with a full order after purchasing a sample, a portion of the sample fee will be deducted from your final invoice.

For traditional chocolate advent calendars, the content must be chocolate. For custom luxury advent calendars, you can insert almost anything — from beauty items and candles to branded merchandise or snacks. The only limitation is sizing, so we recommend sending us sample items or ordering a structural sample first.
