Applications
Sugar Pastes
Sugar pastes continue to be extremely popular, as even the inexperienced baker can create stunning effects with prepared products, rather than struggling with the incorporation of colour into icing sugar.
Univar Colour works closely with sugar paste manufacturers, creating bespoke blends of colours incorporated into glycerine. This means that the liquid can easily be incorporated into powder when manufacturing sugar pastes. Whether you are aiming to achieve a product with vibrant bold colours or a more subtle effect we have an extensive colour palette to work with.
By allowing us to manage the challenging part of the process, we can help you to achieve time and cost saving benefits.
Edible Inks
We understand the importance of making your brand stand out. Univar Colour offer bespoke ready to use edible printing inks. We take account of the process involved, you may be pan coating and then adding your brand to the surface with edible ink, likewise you may have temperature, drying time constraints or additional layers of coatings to consider. Whatever the challenge, Univar Colour is ready to work with you.
A number of different applications can be supported - confectionery & cake decoration are currently the most frequent areas of interest. Whether your application method is mechanical or manual, or you are applying with airbrushing to ink pens, our expertise can offer solutions tailored for you.
Cake Mixes
The trend for home baking is continuing to grow and with this comes an ever growing demand for stand out and unique products.
Our extensive portfolio will enable you to achieve the perfect shade for your product, whether you are looking to match an existing product or for a new project.
We can provide colours which will reinforce the flavour of the cake. There are a wide range of pigments & dyes to choose from, but we can also customise colours should you have something specific in mind. The key advantage of working with Univar Colour to create a bespoke blend, is that we will lock in your color standard and cross check each of the subsequent batches to the standard and agreed test method, whilst you turn your focus to the production and marketing of your product.
