Our promotional sweets and food range now runs to 62 products, covering branded edible options for events, exhibitions, direct mail, customer gifts, employee gifts and seasonal campaigns. Branded Love Hearts® start at £0.49 a roll at a minimum order of 100, with your logo printed in full colour on the label, and dispatch in 7 days.
Edible giveaways get used the same day they're handed over. A branded pen can sit in a drawer for a fortnight before anybody picks it up, which is rarely a problem a chocolate has.
What's in the branded sweets and food range The category covers promotional chocolate, sweets, mints, biscuits and cakes, snacks, corporate hampers, and food and drink. Two examples of what the numbers look like in practice:
Product From Minimum order Pack Dispatch Branding Love Hearts® £0.49 per roll 100 1,000 7 days Full colour label wrapping each roll, print area 63.5 x 31.1mm Promotional Lollipops £0.61 each 100 50 7 days Full colour printed sticker on the outer packaging, print area 37 x 37mm A minimum of 100 units is low enough for a single event or one mailing, which isn't the case everywhere in promotional merchandise. It also makes branded sweets one of the cheapest ways to put your logo in somebody's hand. At £0.49 a roll, twenty rolls of Love Hearts cost less than a tenner.
Minimums and prices are set per product across the rest of the range, so check the page for the item you want.
Where branded sweets work Exhibitions and trade stands. Something to offer at the start of a conversation rather than the end of one. Sweets get taken by people who'd walk straight past a pen, which makes them useful for opening an exchange with somebody who hasn't decided whether to stop yet.
Direct mail. A branded sweet in an envelope turns post into something worth opening. Watch the weight, because postage bands are unforgiving: an 11g roll of Love Hearts sits very differently in a mailing from a box of biscuits.
Reception and front of house. A bowl of branded mints on a desk is one of the few pieces of merchandise that gets reordered because it ran out.
Staff gifts and welcome packs. They cost a fraction of a hard good and they feel more considered than a voucher. They also work well as the small extra item in a larger onboarding kit.
Seasonal campaigns. Christmas, Easter and summer all have obvious edible formats, and a dated campaign is a good reason to get in touch with a customer you haven't spoken to for months.
Where the branding goes On most of the range your logo goes on the wrapper, the label or the outer packaging rather than on the food itself. The print area is published on every product page, so you can see before you order whether your logo will read at that size.
The Love Hearts label gives you 63.5 x 31.1mm, wrapping around each roll. The lollipops give you 37 x 37mm on a sticker applied to the packaging. Both are full colour, which means you don't need to simplify your logo to a single colour the way you would for screen printing.
Small print areas are where logos most often go wrong. If yours has fine detail, small text or a strapline, ask for a free Visual Proof and look at it at actual size before you approve it. Proofs come back within 20 minutes during working hours and they cost nothing.
Dietary information on branded sweets Dietary detail is published on the product page as part of the specification, which is worth knowing if you're handing food to staff or to the public.
Love Hearts are marked suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Neither the Love Hearts nor the lollipops are sugar free, and both product pages say so plainly rather than leaving you to guess.
If you need full ingredient or allergen information for a specific product, or you're buying for an event where you'll need to display it, ask us before you order and we'll get you the detail for that item. It's also worth telling us your event date when you enquire, so we can confirm the product will be well within date when it reaches you.
The full range sits on our promotional sweets, food and drink category page, where all 62 products are listed with their prices and minimum orders. For guidance on budgets, quantities and lead times across everything else we stock, start at the Knowledge Centre.
