Bulk sweets for the Swedish pick-and-mix trade: the format decides, not the product

Two Swedish words do most of the work in this trade. Lösgodis is the pick-and-mix wall, and storpack is the large consumer bag beside it. Neither has a close equivalent in southern Europe, and both are less about which product it is than about how it is counted and packed — which is the part a producer in Gaziantep can actually solve. Swedish buyers search for the format as hard as for the sweet: the storpack terms alone run to thousands of queries a month. So a first enquiry is rarely about recipe. It is about the count, the piece weight and the carton.

What fits the wall

Dragées, sugared almonds, coated nuts and jellies travel in bulk cartons for repacking and for the pick-and-mix wall. Bulk lokum, cut to a consistent cube and dusted so the pieces stay separate in the tub, belongs to the same family. Wrapped pieces and mini biscuits suit the carton for kiosk and café.

Every line is quoted with the carton it actually travels in. Where a piece is wrapped, the wrapper is part of the specification rather than an afterthought: it decides whether the piece can go loose on the wall at all.

The count matters more than the weight

For lösgodis and storpack the pieces per carton and the piece weight are more use than the case weight. Your pack copy and your price per piece hang on them. We state both per line in the offer — not as an approximation but as our own figure.

A carton described only as ten kilos says nothing about the price per piece. Where the piece weight moves within a tolerance, the tolerance is written down rather than averaged away.

Storpack is its own format

A consumer storpack is not the same thing as a bulk carton. It is a retail pack with its own label, its own declaration and its own piece count. We quote those separately, and they can carry your brand where the line is open for private label.

Being a retail pack, it carries the full Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 set in Swedish, and the business named on the bag answers for it.

What stands on a warm wall and what does not

Lokum, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry all year and hold up in room temperature. Chocolate-coated pieces travel at +18/+20 °C and belong nearer the counter than a sunlit wall. That is settled with the offer, not at the port.

For a mixed container in the warm months a reefer is quoted. If you prefer a dry container the temperature risk is stated in writing before loading, line by line.

Sugared almonds, counted per colour

The one line that surprises people: for sugared almonds the minimum counts per colour, not per carton. A wall that needs four pastel shades is four minimums, and the offer says so before you plan the display.

The practical answer is to build the display around the colours that sell through, and to add shades on the second order.

The channel behind the wall

Sweden has a real professional wholesale layer. The godis grossist trade supplies shops and restaurants out of one warehouse, and several of those houses run proper B2B ordering. Beside it sits a separate pastry and bakery channel buying råvaror by the kilo.

They are different buyers. The candy house asks about the count, the case and the wall; the pastry supplier asks about cocoa content, pistachio percentage and the format of the pail. Couverture and bulk chocolate sit outside the core range and are sourced on request.

What to send, and what comes back

Send the references you want, the quantity per line and the port of arrival, and say whether a line is going to the wall, into storpack, or onto a shelf under your own name. That is enough to price.

The offer follows within two working days, in US dollars or euros and valid thirty days from its date. Per line it gives the case weight, the pieces per carton, the piece weight, the minimum and which certificates apply. Everything travels on one packing list and one A.TR movement certificate.

Can you supply for the lösgodis wall?

Yes. Dragées, sugared almonds, coated nuts, jellies and bulk lokum come in bulk cartons for repacking; the case weight and pieces per carton are stated per line.

Can you make storpack under our own brand?

Yes. The carton or bag takes your label; the inner pieces are wrapped or unwrapped as you specify.

Can several lines share one container?

Yes, that is the point of it. Each line travels on its own pallet, under one packing list and one A.TR movement certificate.
