Christen’s Gingerbread: Spreading Joy Through Contract Manufacturing

In a world where mass production often overshadows tradition, Christen’s Gingerbread stands apart as a family business that continues to bake with heart. For more than two generations, this Australian company has delighted customers with its handmade gingerbread men, chocolate gingerbread, smiley faces, beach-shack kits and gluten-free options. But beyond their signature range lies a growing part of the business, contract manufacturing and private label production for retailers, hospitality groups and food brands seeking reliable, high-quality gingerbread made to their specifications.

Turning Ideas into Beautifully Baked Gingerbread Realities

Many businesses dream of offering a signature product that captures their brand’s spirit, but lack the time, facilities or expertise to produce it. That’s where Christen’s Gingerbread contract manufacturing services come in. The team helps businesses develop custom-made gingerbread products that reflect their brand identity, from flavour to packaging, while maintaining commercial consistency and compliance standards.

Retailers can create seasonal or year-round private label lines, cafés and hotels can stock individually wrapped biscuits designed for coffee service, and corporate brands can order logo-stamped cookies that double as memorable gifts. Every collaboration begins with an idea and ends with a delicious, shelf-ready product.

Who Partners with Christen’s Gingerbread, and Why

The flexibility of Christen’s operation means they can support a diverse range of clients, including:

• Retailers and FMCG buyers seeking exclusive gingerbread SKUs for Christmas, Easter or special promotions.
• Hospitality venues and cafés that want portion-controlled biscuits, character cookies or gingerbread kits to complement their menus.
• Corporate and gifting brands looking for edible branding or customised packaging for hampers and events.
• Food manufacturers and licensors extending their brand into the sweet bakery category through collaborative production runs.

Each product is developed with care and tested for quality and produced in compliance with food-safety standards, ensuring the warmth of a family bakery meets the precision of modern manufacturing.

Craftsmanship, Consistency and Creative Control

Christen’s Gingerbread is built on craftsmanship. Their traditional ginger spice blend, sweetened with honey, delivers the nostalgic flavour Australians love, while the chocolate gingerbread follows an authentic Swiss-style recipe for a richer taste. A fully gluten-free range is also available, crafted to meet demand for inclusive, allergen-friendly options.

From small artisan batches to larger commercial runs, the production process remains personal. The team assists with concept development, shape and size selection, icing and decoration choices and more, all while maintaining strict quality control and food-safety protocols.
