"Sweet tubs" is one of the most consistently-searched sweet formats — and it's a genuinely different use case from a bag or bulk order, built specifically around sharing over time rather than one sitting.
Why a tub instead of a bag
A tub comes with a resealable lid, which makes it the practical choice for anything left out over hours or days — an office desk, a party table, a coffee table at home — rather than a bulk bag, which is better suited to decanting into your own containers.
Parties, offices, and gifting
Tubs work well across a few very different occasions: as the centrepiece of a party sweet table, as an office treat that stays fresher for longer than an open bag, and as a gift that's genuinely usable afterwards rather than disposable packaging.
Choosing a size
Smaller tubs suit an individual gift or a desk; larger tubs suit a party or shared office space where a bag would be finished — or gone stale — within a day.
