Harry Specters

Harry Specters makes chocolates by hand at its own factory in Ely, Cambridgeshire. Its business offer includes printed chocolates for events, boxed client gifts and employee recognition orders. Alongside branded orders, it sells chocolate boxes, filled and inclusion bars, hampers and subscriptions. Its production team includes autistic chocolatiers, and the business employs and trains autistic people.

For buyers comparing UK-made merchandise, the website identifies the Ely factory as the production location. Its chocolates can carry a company logo, campaign artwork or message printed directly onto the chocolate using edible inks made from natural ingredients.

Printing and artwork

The printed chocolate has a white chocolate shell and a 60% dark ganache filling. The website says its printing handles fine details in virtually any CMYK colour, but cannot achieve exact Pantone matching. It recommends bright colours rather than light pastels and advises against tiny elements such as QR codes, which will not scan reliably at this size.

Artwork is accepted in PNG or JPEG format. Harry Specters sends an electronic mockup for review before booking the order and arranging delivery in presentation boxes or plastic trays.

Gift boxes and event formats

For exhibition giveaways, receptions and catering, loose chocolates come in trays from 25 chocolates, with 26 flavours to choose from including printed chocolates. Boxed pairs are offered for delegate bags and place settings, while branded boxes are also offered as speaker and client gifts.

The personalised two-chocolate box is sold in bundles of 30 boxes, and the personalised four-chocolate box in bundles of 12. The broader corporate gifts offer covers bulk orders and split deliveries. The website also identifies employee recognition as a use for its boxes, making these relevant to staff gifts.

Ordering and dietary options

The published minimum is 15 printed chocolates, with branded gift box bundles starting at 12 boxes. Printed chocolates are made to order in five working days; the website says lead times run longer around Christmas and Black Friday. Its Christmas corporate gifts offer includes branded box wraps and shipping to multiple addresses on a single invoice.

The website states that every chocolate is gluten-free. Plant-powered boxes are made without dairy and marked DF on the accompanying card, with full allergen information on individual product pages.
