Candy Canes Types and Styles
Using different types of candy canes for events and giveaways
Candy canes are, of course, a holiday season staple. These candies are fairly inexpensive, especially if you buy candy canes wholesale. That makes them an excellent option for holiday parties and promotions. You can even use them at other times of the year. Christmas in July, anyone?Once you decide you want to buy candy canes, you'll be faced with choosing between several candy canes types and styles. You are likely to see the following, plus more:
1. Flavored candy canes that go beyond the traditional peppermint;
2. Mini candy canes with customizable bags or wrappers;
3. Candy canes in alternative shapes, such as hearts and trees.
Consider candy cane distributors that sell flavored canes
Years ago candy canes were only available in one flavor: peppermint. Today that is very much not the case. Flavors range from bubblegum to watermelon, so you can really customize your canes to your audience, your special event or even your area of business. For example, spicy cinnamon canes are great for promoting a Mexican restaurant.
Try: Look at Spangler Candy's inventory of candy canes. It sells canes that taste like several types of Jelly Belly jelly beans plus sour canes and Smarties candy canes. Flavors include blueberry, tutti frutti and juicy pear. Also check out the Dum Dum flavored canes CandyCrate sells. They are based on the popular lollipops and feature Disney characters on the wrappers. These canes come in an assortment of watermelon, butterscotch and strawberry.
Look at wholesale candy canes in a miniature size
Mini candy canes are great for handing out since they're cheaper than the large canes and are not as likely to break. Plus, they are easier to customize with your logo or promotional phrase, since they can come with different types of wrappers. They are a common commodity from almost any candy cane manufacturer.
Try: Branders offers mini canes that have space for a 2.5" by 0.4" imprint on their plastic overwraps. The canes only weigh .05 lbs each and you can order them in boxes of 500 or more. If you'd rather have candy canes in bags instead of wrapped, Extra Mile Promotional Products may have the wholesale mini candy canes for you. You can add a one-color imprint to each cellophane bag.
Check out candy canes in different shapes
If you want your candy canes to really stand out, get candy canes that aren't canes. Since the candy used for making them is pliable when melted down, it can be configured into any number of things.
