A highlight of the new range of products is the striking packaging which features a chocolate swirl motif. According to Butlers, it commissioned the premium boxes as a special design due to an increasing demand for luxury gifting packaging in the travel retail channel.

World Duty Free Head of Category for Liquor, Tobacco and Food Fraser Dunlop said: “Butlers Chocolates have transformed their packaging to a more luxurious and contemporary offering, which fits within the World Duty Free Luxury Confectionary sector. We anticipate it will be extremely popular with our passengers looking for something extra”.
