M&Ms Custom Printing, Colors for Any Event

Chocolate in bar form, from it's humble production years at the turn of the century, has gone hand-in-hand with military rations throughout history. From the America's first World WarW , when soldiers were given chocolate bars in abundance, as a cheap source of energy and nourishment. The unfortunate thing about chocolate is on it's own is most definitely guaranteed to meld into a puddle of chocolaty goo in the palm of your hand, or if carried close to your body too long.

During the Spanish Civil War , an innovator of Mars candy company saw Spaniard soldiers had been given chocolate encased in a sugary coating, which kept the chocolate from liquefying in the hot sun - which led to the development of the first M&Ms and a patent filed March 3, 1941, with actual production of the first M&Ms sold to consumers in paper tubes . M&Ms have been known the world over.





...Order
Custom M&Ms

22 Colors









Recently M&Ms have launched a very cool site,
so that you can create a campaign of custom
m&ms.

From birthdays to weddings - you choose from
22 colors and a variety of fonts to get your
perfect message on that candy coating.

The ordering process is very simple you choose
your colors,font and type in your message.

Once you have selected all the custom info,
you can see a dynamic demo in flash giving
you an idea of what your m&ms will look
like, featuring your colors & message.

Not only is there custom printing options
for the home consumer - But for businesses
as well.







I went ahead and ordered some for my husband's organization. He holds an elected office position and using the faces-on-m&ms option, I chose the organizations colors, then put his face on one side and his office title on the other side. The process is just as easy as the basic custom message - Upload your picture, crop it if you want a closer image, then their site techs will get the image resized so that it has the best appearance on the m&ms. I also ordered some basic m&ms with my personalized message.

I really liked the interactivity of m&ms site. It's a really neat service. Great for making an event even more special, or for advertising your business or organization. http://www.mymms.com/

Those are really cool. I saw those in a wedding magazine once. I just didn't have the time or energy for party favors when I got married.

I ordered these for our wedding (it was several years ago now :) ) They were a huge hit - besides, who doesn't love chocolate? at least a tiny little bit..

That's a very nice idea, and I believe I could buy someone for special moments.

The Spanis Civil War... Inspiration for Hemingway and candymen alike.

Neat article. And having seen a few of these custom M&M jobs, I can tell you that they do look good/are clearly legible.

This is a very cute and unique gift idea...you are right..this is not only perfect for personal purposes but also for business promotions and marketing.

M&M never failed to amuse its customers including me. Really yummy with personal touch.

Kids Cakes 3:25 PM, May 10, 2009  

I think that these M&Ms are fantastic as party favors for a kid's birthday party. I can't imagine any little kid out there that wouldn't love to see their name and photo on an M&M :)

dirty martini 5:32 PM, May 17, 2009  

Definitely, imagine the kiddies faces light up with a custom m&m for their birthday party.

Obviously I'm a big fan of martinis, I'm going to get some of these and see if I can come up with some interesting new martini ideas. I wonder how long the candy shell will last immersed in a drink?

Miami Catering 3:33 AM, August 13, 2009  

I think these M&Ms, are a great idea, Who does not like these sweets for one and having a spash of personalised colourful items for any party really.

I was seriously considering ordering these for my wedding as party favors for guests at the suggestion of my mother. It would have been a great idea, but unfortunately it fell through the cracks as the wedding plans became more elaborate. Customizing and personalizing candy is a great idea and maybe I'll use it for an anniversary.

I love M&M chocolate! Really funny !

Karen 2:58 AM, July 03, 2009  

I think that I am the most relevant to bring a real court because I eat a meal of sweet and salty foods for dessert. So I am a huge fan candy. These sweets are definitely at the top of my list of quality and taste.
