Mentos

Mentos is a confectionery brand that doesn't need to be explained to the person receiving it. The recognition is already there, which makes the packaging the interesting part of the buying decision. Pillow boxes are the most widely ordered format. They come in clear and window-front styles, hold individually wrapped mints, and get a printed logo on the exterior. Clear plastic cubes in small and large sizes display the mints visibly through the packaging, which gives them a retail-style presentation that works well on counters and event tables. Glass jars occupy the premium end. An 18g small jar with a sticker lid suits a compact desk gift, the 35g heart-shaped jar suits a personal touch, and the 65g apothecary and large jar styles function as keepsakes rather than consumables. The twist tin is a compact 25g metal tin with a screw top that pockets easily. The noodle box is a printed white box filled with 100g of mints, recognisable enough that it draws attention on a trade show table without a word being said. Individual wrapped mints and the biz card format, where mints are sealed to the back of a business card, cover the volume and budget end of the range.

A financial planning firm ordering for a client event fills the table with packaging that matches the relationship. Glass jars for existing clients, pillow boxes for delegate packs, individual wrapped mints at the entry. The same brand, three different signals.

The quantity range across the format options runs from short print runs at 50 units for glass jars and cubes through to thousands of individually wrapped mints for large conferences and trade shows.

Product Knowledge

What is the difference between the clear cube and the pillow box?

The clear cube is a rigid plastic box that displays the mints visibly through the sides. It sits upright on a surface and reads like a product rather than a package. The pillow box is a folded card or film construction with a curved top and bottom that lies flat and packs easily into bags. The cube has more presence on a counter or table; the pillow box is more practical for delegate packs, event bags, and postal gifting.

What does the biz card Mentos format involve?

Mints are sealed to the back of the buyer's existing business cards using a clamshell or card-mount format. The result is a business card that has three or four mints on the back, making it significantly more likely to be kept than a plain card handed over at a meeting or trade show. The buyer supplies the cards and the mints are added. This is the most cost-effective branded Mentos format for networking events and client meetings where a business card is already being exchanged.

Are all the glass jar styles sticker branded or fully printed?

Glass jar lids take a custom sticker rather than direct printing on the glass. The sticker carries the buyer's artwork and is applied to the lid. The jar itself remains clear glass, which lets the mints show through. For the apothecary and heart-shaped styles, the overall presentation is driven by the jar shape and the sticker design together.

What flavours are available across the range?

Mentos mints are the fill across most styles, with the heart-shaped glass jar supplied with a mix of flavours. The single mint format and most other styles use Mentos mint. It's worth checking the individual product page for flavour details, as fill options can vary by packaging style.
