If you want branded rock candy as a corporate Christmas gift this year, aim to order at least 3 weeks before you plan to hand it out. Roc Candy's approx 3-week turnaround already includes a 7-day delivery buffer, and if you're shorter on time, it's always worth getting in touch. We've been handmaking logo candy since 1999, with your logo or business name running right through every piece, and delivery is free Australia-wide.
When do I need to order branded candy for Christmas 2026?
Work backwards from the day you'll hand out your gifts, not Christmas Day. Our turnaround is approx 3-week, your date required should be before your event to allow for delivery buffer if delayed in transit.
Below is a rough guide to ordering timeframes:
- Handing out gifts the week of Monday 30 November (early client visits): aim to order by Monday 9 November
- Handing out gifts the week of Monday 7 December: aim to order by Monday 16 November
- Handing out gifts the week of Monday 14 December (most office break-ups): aim to order by Monday 23 November
- Handing out gifts the week of Monday 21 December (last working week): aim to order by Monday 30 November
Missed the date? Don't rule it out. We can often fit in urgent orders when production time allows, so contact us and we'll let you know what's possible. Nov/December is our busiest period, though, so the earlier you get in touch, the more options you'll have.
Tip: When you order, enter the date you'd like the candy delivered, not the date of your Christmas party or client drop-off. That one detail is the most common cause of last-minute stress.
Why do businesses choose branded rock candy for Christmas gifts?
By mid-December most corporate gifts look alike. Branded candy stands out because your logo isn't a sticker on the box. It's built into the sugar, so it shows up in every piece. It's also practical:
- It suits everyone. Our candy is vegan, gluten-free, nut-free and Halal certified, so you don't need a separate gift for clients with dietary needs.
- It's shareable. A jar on the reception desk gets passed around the whole office, not just the person whose name is on the card.
- It keeps. In an airtight jars, rock candy holds its quality for over two years, so ordering early is no risk at all.
More on that in why branded candy makes a great corporate gift.
I want to buy Christmas gifts for clients and staff. What are my options?
Most businesses mix and match depending on who's receiving the gift:
- Glass jars: the premium choice for key clients and thank-you gifts
- Cello or zip bags: cost-effective for staff, larger client lists or party place settings
- Bulk candy: for filling your own hampers or gift boxes
Branded packaging runs from 50 up to 350 bags or jars, and labels can carry a festive message. Bags of 5-7 or 8-10 pieces suit wider distribution. See options and live pricing when you design your branded candy.
Can you make Christmas-coloured candy with our logo inside?
Yes. Stick with your brand colours, or switch to red, green, white or gold for Christmas. Colours are hand-mixed and matched as closely as possible. Just choose "custom" in the colour picker.
Colour and flavour are independent, so a red candy doesn't have to be strawberry. One batch means one flavour, with passionfruit, watermelon, wildberry, strawberry and raspberry the most popular. One honest note: peppermint isn't available, so for a candy-cane look, try raspberry or strawberry in red and white.
Send your logo as a screenshot, EPS, PDF or vector file. If it has fine detail, we'll call before production to talk through what will hold up at candy size.
