M&Ms

The defining feature of this range is the number of packaging styles available. Rather than a handful of standard options, the selection spans bags, cubes, tins, jars, and a distinct group of novelty containers, each serving a different purpose and price point. Understanding what each packaging group does helps you match the right product to your specific event or campaign.

• Bags and cello packaging: Small M&Ms Bag (25g), Medium and Large M&Ms Bags, 50g Silver Lock Bag, 50g Mixed M&Ms Cello Bags, 100g M&Ms Cello Bag, M&M Header Bags (50g), and the 50g PLA Compostable Bag for campaigns with an eco focus. These are the most cost-effective options for high-volume distribution.
• Cubes and acrylic containers: 40g Hard Plastic Cube, M&Ms in Small 60g Cube, 110g M&Ms Cube, M&Ms in a Big Clear Cube, 50g M&Ms Acrylic Carry On Case, 50g Acrylic House, 50g Acrylic Tree, and 50g Acrylic Star. The shaped acrylic containers are particularly effective as desk gifts.
• Tins: 30g Rectangular Tin with Mini M&Ms, 70g M&Ms Twist Tin, 50gm M&M in Round Tin, Hinge Tin with M&Ms, Promo M&Ms Tin (two-piece), and M&M Candle Tin. Tins offer a more premium feel and a larger branding surface.
• Jars: 20g Mini Jar M&Ms, 20g Mini Glass Jar M&Ms, 60g Small Jar M&Ms (clear plastic round), 80g Small Square Jar M&Ms, 35g Small Hexagon Jar, and M&Ms Pill Jar Dispenser.
• Novelty packaging: 20g M&Ms in a Syringe, Chocolate Filled M&Ms Test Tube (40g mini M&Ms), M&Ms in Soda Bottles, 100g Light Bulb of M&Ms, M&Ms Noodle Box, M&Ms Coloured Noodle Box, Yummy M&Ms Candy Tube, 20g Flip Top Mini M&Ms Container, and 90g Mini M&Ms in Small Pull Can.

The novelty packaging styles are worth considering when you need the container to do more than carry a logo. A syringe or test tube filled with mini M&Ms draws attention in a way that a standard bag does not, and the light bulb and noodle box containers have a strong visual presence on a trade show table. Several of these use mini M&Ms specifically, including the test tube, syringe, flip top container, hexagon jar, and pull can. Standard M&Ms are used in most other packaging.

These products suit a wide range of applications. The compact bags and biz card options are built for mass distribution at conferences and expos across Australia, where cost per unit matters. The acrylic shapes and tins suit client gifts, desk drops, or situations where the packaging itself needs to make an impression. The billboard packaging — available with 25g and 50g bags — provide full-colour display on both sides, making them effective for retail activations and brand awareness campaigns.

Your logo is applied to the packaging using stickers or full colour digital print. The method that works best depends on the container: flat surfaces on tins and cubes are well suited to sticker application, while printed bags and pillow packs typically use full colour digital print to achieve a cleaner finish across the entire surface.

Common Questions

How do I brand M&Ms packaging?

Branding is applied using stickers or full colour digital print, with the choice depending on the packaging type and the surface area available for your artwork. Your supplier will advise on the most suitable method for the specific container you select.

What is the difference between standard and mini M&Ms in this range?

Mini M&Ms are used in packaging where the container opening is smaller, such as the syringe, test tube, flip top container, hexagon jar, and pull can. Standard M&Ms are used in most other packaging including bags, cubes, tins, and larger jars.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Most products in this range have a minimum order of 100 units, though some packaging styles — including the mini jar, hexagon jar, mixed colours pillow box, and big clear cube — are available from 50 units. One exception is the 25g bag with M&Ms, which has a minimum of 250 units.

What makes novelty M&Ms packaging more effective as giveaways?

The container itself becomes part of the message when you use a container like a syringe, test tube, or light bulb, because the packaging sparks a reaction before the recipient even looks at your branding. This makes novelty packaging particularly effective at trade shows and events where you are competing for attention among many other exhibitors.
