Promotional Branded Advent Calendars - Milk Chocolate
Important! We are no longer sending out Advent calendar hard copy proofs*.
What does this mean? It means that while you will still be sent an on-screen proof, you will no longer receive a physical, printed proof to approve.
How will it affect your order? It will remove the step of waiting for a hard copy to arrive in the mail and speed up the process.
What will you need to do differently? When you approve the on-screen proof, you will be confirming that you are happy for us to print the final run of the order.
As you will be approving the artwork for print by checking your PDF digital proof, you will need to keep in mind that the final printed colour may vary from the colour on your screen. This is due to a variety of different factors, such as screen settings/calibration or artwork supplied in an RGB colour format instead of a CMYK colour format.
*If required, a hard copy may be requested at an additional charge. This may affect your lead time.
Christmas
Why choose a promotional Advent calendar?
There’s nothing quite like the countdown to Christmas and the feeling of waking up each day and popping open another door on a chocolate Advent calendar.
Our bespoke Advent calendars will be seen every day by your customers for 12, 24, or 25 days and offer a fun, memorable way to communicate with your audience over the festive period.
Who makes your chocolate Advent calendars?
We do! Our calendars are printed and manufactured by us in our very own chocolate factory in the UK (South Wales). This gives us the advantage of being able to keep a close eye on the quality of our calendars and maintain the high standards that our customers have come to expect. It also means that we can often offer Advent calendars on a short lead time if a fast turnaround is required*.
*Subject to availability of production time slots, extra charges may apply.
Added Extras
Inner Door Printing
Want a corporate Advent calendar with your logo behind every door? Or a personalised Advent calendar with a different message behind every door?
We offer the option to print a message or image on the back of each calendar door by offering a double-sided print option.

Order step by step:
Step One: Firstly, pick one of our custom Advent calendars you are interested in, and then, if you are an existing trade customer, login to our online portal, Nibble, to get a quote. If you are a new customer or would like a quote sent by email, give us a call on “01792 293 689” or send a message to 'sales@michton.com'.
If you would like any extras, such as a fast turn-around time/express delivery or delivery to multiple addresses, it’s a good idea to let us know at this point so we can 100% guarantee that we can fulfil your branded Advent calendar order before you place it.
Step Two: Download the correct artwork template for the chocolate Advent calendar you require and read through our artwork guidelines, then setup your artwork on our template.
We offer an art-working service for an extra fee or a selection of free stock images if you would like assistance with artwork. We are also happy to give advice or talk through any issues or questions you may have.
Step Three: Place your order either by email or through Nibble; remember we will need a purchase order, your customised Advent calendar artwork on our template, a delivery address, and a supplied by address**.
We’d also need to be informed of anything that may cause an issue when delivering your branded Advent calendars, such as businesses with non-standard opening hours, deliveries that will need to be booked in, or delivery locations that are in red zones.
** A supplied by address is a legal requirement; it is a company name and address that will be printed on the product in the ‘legal information’ area of the template along with the ingredients; it gives the customer a point of contact should there be any issues with the product.
Step Four: We will check your chocolate Advent calendar artwork and send you a digital PDF to approve.
Step Five: Previously, for this step, we would have sent you a hard copy in the mail for your promotional Advent calendar; however, we have now removed this step. Instead, we now consider your digital PDF proof approval as affirmation that we can proceed with printing.
Step Six: We will start our lead time countdown from here, and we will confirm a dispatch date.
Step Seven: We print, create, and ship your bespoke Advent calendar order.
