Chocolate bar moulds · snap tablet moulds

Snap tablet moulds that break exactly where you want.

The snap is part of the eating. Snap-line depth and profile decide whether a tablet breaks cleanly into squares.

Overview

Snap tablet moulds, done properly.

Single-cavity silicone tablet mould with clean and rough snap tests
Single-cavity snap-line trials for a cleaner break

A tablet that shatters instead of snapping looks cheap. The snap line has to be deep enough to guide the break and shallow enough to keep the tablet strong.

We design segment patterns and snap-line profiles and proof them on a single cavity.

What we design for

The details that make this format work.

01

Snap-line profile

Depth and angle set for a clean break.

02

Segment patterns

Your own pattern, not a stock grid.

03

Strength in the tray

Tablets that do not snap on knock-out.

04

Proofed first

Tested on one cavity before the full tray.

What we ask up front

The same four questions we ask on every job like this.

01

Target weight

Tell us the net weight on the wrapper. We set cavity volume from it and your chocolate's density.

02

Snap and segment

How many pieces, and how clean the break needs to be. That drives snap-line depth and profile.

03

Knock-out method

Bench tap, flex-and-push or invert. We match silicone hardness to it.

04

Branding

Send the vector file early. We check the finest feature will read on a tempered bar.

Shell work needs an even wall and a flat land for a clean cap. Solid work fills the whole cavity.
