Bulk Sweet Tins
Bulk sweet tins are the backbone of the desk. We buy sealed tins by the pallet from producers we have dealt with across several seasons, then break those pallets into resale cartons sized to what a buyer can actually put on a shelf. A neighbourhood grocer does not need four hundred tins of one line, and a distributor does not want to open twelve separate cartons to build a single pallet. The bulk service exists to solve both problems with the same stock.
Each carton is built in the packing room, weighed against the ticket and labelled with the line, the count and the packing date. Lids are checked before the carton is taped, because a tin that has lost its seal is a tin that will disappoint a buyer three weeks later. Outer cartons are plain and sturdy rather than decorative, since bulk tins are almost always opened in a stockroom rather than handed to a recipient.
Pricing is quoted per carton and per pallet, and we hold a written quote for thirty days so a buyer can compare options without the price moving under them. Mixed pallets are available when a single order needs several lines in smaller quantities, and the packing list always lists each line separately so the pallet can be checked line by line at the receiving door.
