Plastic Flip Top

The plastic flip top container sits in a useful gap in the promotional confectionery range. It's more practical than a bag, more affordable than a glass jar, and more compact than a cube. The hinged lid opens with one thumb and closes firmly, which means the fill stays contained in a bag, a pocket, or on a seat tray without requiring a second hand to manage. That portability is the primary reason travel agencies, airlines, and conference organisers favour this format. Fills at the 35g size include jelly beans, mints, chewy fruits, M&Ms, and Skittles, covering the main confectionery preferences from fruity to chocolate to mint. The 20g size covers mini jelly beans in single colour or mixed, mini mints, and mini M&Ms. Case colour options include red, yellow, green, blue, black, and white, which lets the container itself contribute to the brand presentation without relying entirely on the sticker. Most items in the range are Australian Made. All styles start from 100 units.

A conference organiser placing a branded flip top case at each delegate seat gets a product that leaves the room in every delegate's pocket or bag. The sealed container means the fill remains fresh through a full conference day, which is not always the case with open bowls or loose bags.

At 20g, the mini containers are smaller than the 35g version but carry a higher price per unit, which reflects a premium presentation quality. They suit targeted gifting or a VIP delegate context where the 35g price point is too casual.

Use Case & Context

Which fill works best for a trade show giveaway at a consumer-facing event?

Jelly beans are the most broadly appealing fill for a general consumer audience. They cover most taste preferences and the visual variety of mixed colours adds interest. M&Ms and Skittles draw on recognised brand recognition that makes people more likely to pick up the container. Mints suit professional and corporate contexts where a palate-cleansing function is appropriate. Chewy fruits suit events with a younger audience or a more playful brand tone. At a consumer-facing trade show, jelly beans or a named-brand fill typically generate the most engagement at the stand.

Are flip top containers practical for conference table placement?

Yes, the sealed container keeps the fill fresh through a full conference day without the mess or hygiene concerns of an open bowl. The compact size means a container at each seat doesn't take up meaningful desk space. The branded sticker faces upward when the container is placed on its base, which keeps the brand visible from the first moment the delegate sits down. At the end of the session, the container goes into a bag and continues to carry the brand out of the room.

What is the practical difference between 35g and 20g when choosing for an event?

The 35g container holds more confectionery and costs less per unit, which makes it the right choice for high-volume distribution at a large event where keeping unit costs down matters. The 20g container is more compact and has a higher unit cost, which suits a smaller, targeted distribution where the quality of the individual item is more important than volume pricing. Both are practical for event use. The choice depends on the event size, the intended audience, and the per-unit budget.

Do flip top containers suit vending machine placement?

Yes, the range is specifically noted for vending machine use. The compact size, sealed construction, and durable plastic case suit vending machine distribution in offices, schools, gyms, and transport hubs. A school or workplace ordering branded flip top cases for a fundraiser or brand awareness campaign can use them in vending machine placement alongside other products. The 35g size is the more common format for vending given its price and fill quantity.
