What fits the stand
Dragées, sugared almonds, coated nuts and gelled sweets travel in bulk cartons for repacking and for the stand. Bulk lokum, cut to a consistent cube and dusted so the pieces stay separate in the bin, belongs to the same family. Wrapped pieces and mini biscuits suit the carton for kiosk and café.
What we quote is the carton, not the finished bag: piece size, wrap and dusting are set per line before loading.
The numbers the bin card runs on
For a pick-and-mix stand the piece weight and the count per carton are more use than the case weight. Your bin card 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.
The case weight and the carton dimensions still travel on the packing list, for your pallet plan. But the number you print on the bin card is per hundred grams or per piece, built upwards from the piece weight.
Sugared almonds are counted per colour
The line that surprises people: for sugared almonds the minimum counts per colour, not per carton. A stand that needs four pastel shades is four minimums, and the offer says so before you plan the display. It follows from how they are made rather than how they are sold — each colour is its own panning run, and a run has a floor.
What stands on a warm shelf and what does not
Lokum, sugared almonds and gelled sweets travel dry all year and hold at room temperature. Chocolate-coated pieces travel at +18/+20 °C and belong nearer the counter than a sunlit stand. The destination is cold for most of the year; the risk on this lane is the Mediterranean leg, and it is settled with the offer rather than at the port — in the warm months a mixed load with chocolate in it is quoted as a reefer.
Who buys the carton, in a market this size
The Icelandic bulk trade runs through a short list of food wholesalers and importers rather than through the chains directly; they buy by the carton and resell to shops, kiosks and the stands. Beside them sit the ho.re.ca. and tourist-trade suppliers, and the duty-free shelf at Keflavík, where a boxed gift line competes against a short dwell time rather than against a price.
In a market of three hundred and seventy thousand people that is a handful of buyers, not a sector. It also means a mixed container is the only sensible first order: several references in modest quantities, each on its own pallet, under one packing list and one EUR.1.
What to send
Send the references, the quantity per line in cartons or pallets, the port of arrival, and whether you buy for repacking, for food service or for a retail shelf. Back within two working days comes a written offer in dollars or euro: piece weight and count per carton per line, the minimum per line, case weight and carton size, the delivery term, the transit and the document set. It is valid thirty days.
Can you supply cartons for a nammibar?
Yes. Dragées, sugared almonds, coated nuts, gelled sweets and bulk lokum come in bulk cartons for repacking; the piece weight and the count per carton are stated per line.
Can you make bulk cartons under our own brand?
Yes. The carton takes your label; the inner pieces are wrapped or unwrapped as you specify.
Why does the minimum for sugared almonds count per colour?
Because each colour is its own panning run in our factory, and a run has a floor. A stand needing four shades is four minimums, and the offer says so before you plan the display.
