Carwow | Custom Traditional Advent Calendars

Carwow, a leading online car buying and selling platform trusted by over 12 million users, approached us with an exciting project — to create custom advent calendars that would be sent to their customers, car manufacturers, and suppliers. Their goal was to create a branded advent calendar that conveyed festive greetings while reinforcing their brand identity during the Christmas season.

As experienced advent calendar manufacturers, we were delighted to partner with Carwow across two consecutive years, delivering two bespoke projects that showcased the versatility of our traditional advent calendars and custom advent calendar printing solutions.

Year One: 2021 — Traditional Bespoke Advent Calendars

In the first year, Carwow required bespoke advent calendars designed with simplicity, elegance, and brand visibility in mind. We produced 1,200 traditional advent calendars, each featuring 25 doors filled with delicious milk chocolates that were vegetarian, kosher, and halal certified.

The design featured a simple snowflake theme across a branded blue background, perfectly matching Carwow’s corporate colours at the time. The luxury advent calendar front panel flowed seamlessly across the edges, while the reverse side included vital company information, website details, and chocolate ingredients.

The calendars were digitally printed with precision, ensuring every detail — from the snowflakes to the company logo advent calendar — was sharp and festive. Each corporate branded advent calendar was individually packed in external envelopes and sent to a single UK mainland address for easy distribution.

Year Two: 2022 — Custom Luxury Advent Calendars with New Design

Following the success of the previous project, Carwow returned the next year seeking another set of custom advent calendars — but this time, with a more distinctive and heartwarming design.

We produced 200 high-quality traditional advent calendars within a tight timeframe. These calendars featured the same practical size and format but a completely refreshed look to reflect the brand’s evolving identity.

The new design incorporated a snowy woodland background with a touching visual of a car “coming home for Christmas,” symbolising Carwow’s connection to journeys and family moments. The front included festive greetings and a prominently placed logo, while the reverse side detailed nutritional information for the chocolates inside.

The colours were updated to reflect Carwow’s latest branding, reinforcing the branded advent calendar feel. As before, the calendars contained 25 milk chocolates, maintaining vegetarian, kosher, and halal standards.

Each luxury advent calendar UK edition was carefully packed in outer mailers, with 125 units dispatched to individual addresses and the remaining 75 units sent to a single UK destination.
