Bags of Sweets: Choosing the Right Size for the Occasion

"Bags of sweets" is a broad but high-volume search category — people looking for anything from a single sharing bag to a proper bulk order. Here's how to pick the right size.

Share bags

A share bag is a single pre-packed portion, typically 100-200g, aimed at one occasion — a movie night, a lunchbox, or a small gathering. It's the most convenient format if you want a specific sweet without committing to a large quantity.

Bulk bags

A bulk bag runs from 1kg up to 3kg of a single sweet or blend, and is the better value option per gram — ideal for parties, filling a sweet jar, or an event where you'd otherwise be buying multiple share bags and paying the packaging premium each time.

Picking the right one

As a rule of thumb: one-off treat or small gathering, go for a share bag; anything involving more than a handful of people, a jar to keep topped up, or repeat buying, a bulk bag pays for itself.
