Promotional Skittles
Choosing Custom Skittles for Your Giveaway
Custom Skittles come in far more than a plain packet, with fills running from 20g up to 170g depending on the container. Cello bags are the simplest choice for handing out at a stand or reception, while cubes, test tubes and flip lid tubes keep things compact and easy to drop into a satchel. For packaging that does some of the talking, there are soda bottles, baby jars, light bulbs, carry-on cases and decorative coffee cups, plus syringes with a swing tag. Small PVC buckets hold the biggest fill and small tins make a neat desk treat, while flip lid cardboard boxes give you a recyclable option when you'd rather avoid plastic.
How the Skittles will be handed out shapes your pick more than anything else. Cello bags and flip lid tubes suit schools and charities giving out plenty of treats at an open day, while novelty containers like light bulbs or syringes stand out more on a trade show stand or in a client gift box. For a different lolly in similar packaging, our lolly cello bags hold plenty of other mixes, and our custom lollies cover everything from mints to jelly beans.
Promotional Skittles get through the most packs at trade shows and open days during the year, then again in December when Christmas client gifts and staff thank yous go out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do they stay fresh?
Some packs carry a 12 month best before, which gives you plenty of room to order well ahead of an event. Keep them somewhere cool and dry at no more than 22 degrees, because Skittles soften and stick together in a hot car or a sunny window.
Will some of the Skittles be broken?
A little breakage or chipping can happen, and on many packs it's accepted as normal for this kind of confectionery. If you're giving branded Skittles as a client gift, a rigid container like a tin or cube is less likely to get squashed than a bag.
Is the mix of colours the same in every pack?
Most are filled with mixed colour Skittles, and in some the assortment can vary from one pack to the next. If matching your brand colours matters, rely on the sticker or the container to carry that rather than the lollies themselves.
Are there plastic-free custom Skittles?
Yes, flip lid cardboard boxes are plastic-free and recyclable once the Skittles are gone. They suit schools and councils working towards waste goals, and the ingredients and best before details are printed right on the box.
