Plastic Tubes
Printed plastic tubes for hospitality are clear plastic cylinders that let the sweets do the talking, finished with either a silver cap or a black lid. The small gourmet tubes keep things neat with peppermints, sugar free mints, jelly beans, milk chocolate beans, Chiclet gum and sugar free gum. Go up to the large tubes and the same mints, gum, jelly beans and chocolate beans are joined by pistachios and salted roasted cashews, with a silver screw-on lid on the sugar free mints. The mid-size tubes are clear PET and lean towards the fun end, with M&Ms, Skittles, chewy fruits, mixed lollies and chewy mints. For a little indulgence, one tube holds three Lindor balls, a dark, a milk and a white.
A guest checking into a boutique hotel late at night just wants something small before bed without ringing room service. A tube of chocolate beans on the bedside table sorts that out. They eat a few, pop the lid back on and pack the rest for the drive home. Pair it with something from our mints range at reception.
Most of these branded plastic tubes can be finished with a full colour sticker, so your custom plastic tubes carry the venue's logo. Store them somewhere cool and dry below 22°C, which matters in summer for the chocolate fills.
Frequently Asked
What's the difference between the small and large gourmet tubes?
Small gourmet tubes are pocket sized with a silver cap on most fills, while large tubes hold more and mostly have a black lid. Only the large tubes come with pistachios or salted roasted cashews.
Which tubes are sugar free?
Sugar free peppermints come in both small and large tubes, and sugar free gum comes in the small silver cap tube. The other sweet fills, like jelly beans, Skittles and Chiclet gum, are regular confectionery.
Are printed plastic tubes a good choice for hotel rooms and reception desks?
Yes, the clear body puts peppermints, chocolate beans or pistachios on show, and the silver cap or black lid keeps the tube tidy on a desk or bedside table. Sugar free peppermints in small and large tubes suit guests who prefer to skip sugar.
Why do some sweets arrive chipped or broken?
Coated sweets, mints and nuts knock against each other inside the tube during transport, so minor chipping or breakup is expected. It doesn't affect taste, and storing tubes below 22°C keeps chocolate fills from softening.
