15 things we’re tired of hearing about chocolate wrapping:
Unnecessary: Not accurate because we need it to save the shape and the quality of the product.
Unhealthy: Not true, because wrappers are carefully made, coated, and tested to be a 100% healthy.
A waste of money: On the contrary, without wrappers, huge amounts of product will be ruined and wasted.
Contaminated: Not true because the materials including the ink used for labeling are food friendly materials.
Easy to make: There are very complicated machines created only for this task.
Expensive: Wrappers are relatively very affordable in general.
Polluting the environment: There are several types of wrappers and some of them are eco-friendly. Both the manufacturer and the consumer can choose what to buy and consume out of a wide variety of options.
Causes undesired flavors: The inner layer of a wrapper is usually coated or made of materials that prevent any transition of flavor or odor.
Only for protection: The wrapper has several information sections including a label, a logo and different other issues to convey to the customer. Even the color of the wrapper is usually chosen for a marketing reason.
Not recyclable: Many types of wrappers are recyclable and the manufacturer can choose what are the most eco-friendly materials and may also print that on the wrapper as a marketing strategy.
Same material used: Paper, Aluminum foil, Polypropylene and other materials might be used.
Same quality: There are many types of wrappers starting from a very cheap foil to a very expensive silk lace and ribbon wrapper.
Not easy to open: It depends on the strength of the adhesive and the design of the wrapper. Some have dotted places where the cover is easy to tear too.
Toxic: It’s not accurate since the PP wrapper is coated with Aluminum and different other layers, but still it’s recommended not to allow a child suck a wrapper in order not to consume the in-between layers.
Can’t be used later: As we said, some are recyclable and it’s common to create colorful designs and postcards using wrappers.
