Bulk Gluten-Free Candy: Retailer Setup Checklist
Setting up a gluten-free candy section? Begin with these 12 products. It’s Italian almond dragees on one side and Greek organic honey halva on the other. Every one of them is gluten-free and sold in bulk. We ship within the US with no minimum order. Cases are roughly 5 to 10 kg, and you pay by card at secure checkout.
First, pick the SKUs for your section
Decide what goes on the shelf before you clear it. With only 12 items here (dragees from Italy and halva from Greece) that’s a quick decision, and a short list is easier to run in a first section anyway. Buy retail or wholesale starting from one case. Approved wholesale accounts get account pricing, and shipping is US only.
The dragees do most of the work. Italian Yellow Almond Confetti Dragees come gluten-free in bulk, and the thin-shell line adds Green and White. Then Blue and Pink. Red finishes it (all Italian). Six colors fill a shelf row. They keep fine in open bins too, which makes reorders pretty regular.
Add halva as the second SKU family
Halva is the snack side. There are two, Organic Honey Halva with Almonds and Organic Honey Halva Classic Recipe, each 75g and made in Greece. Both come as a single bar or in an 8-pack or 10-pack. We’d put singles where people grab on impulse and hold the multipacks back for regulars. Honey and sesame taste wholesome, so it sits fine near a natural-foods or import fixture.
For a first order, carry both families. Colored almonds pull in someone shopping for a party while the halva goes to the natural-foods crowd. Gluten-free shoppers stick with a source they trust, so two kinds of thing in one spot gives them a reason to come back.
Facts to put on your shelf tags
We’d keep the tags short. Italy goes on the dragee tag and Greece on the halva one, with gluten-free on both and organic only on the halva. In bulk a unit weighs somewhere from 0.99 up to 1.65 pounds, and the halva multipacks come shelf-ready in 8 and 10 to a pack. We’d still pull up the product page for each color and pack before printing anything, it takes a second.
- Six colors of Italian almond dragees in gluten-free bulk
- 75g Greek organic honey halva with almonds or classic recipe
- 8-pack and 10-pack halva for multipack buyers
- Gluten-free across the board, plus organic halva
Label checks and shelf tags come first
Somebody who avoids gluten has probably squinted at a lot of fine print and they size up a section in a couple of seconds. So we’d read each SKU’s label and its product page first, and only then write the tag. One big gluten-free sign over the run (we like it plain, black on white) saves them flipping every package over. Tag per family, the dragees as one and the halva as the other. Same words shelf to shelf.
Think about the neighbors too. Our bulk milk chocolate page is where we’d look for more chocolate bins, and bulk chocolate with nuts makes sense beside the almond dragees.
Reorder rhythm and shipping
Treat the first order as a test. Buy one case and see how the dragees and halva move. After that, add the 8-pack and 10-pack halva for repeat buyers. Cases are usually 5 to 10 kg. Payment’s by card at secure checkout and the order confirms when it clears. We ship within the US only, with no minimum order.
Once single cases aren’t enough, ask us for a quote on larger volumes. The wider bulk candy range is there if you want other formats next to the gluten-free stuff. Our rough starting layout would be the six dragee colors in bins with the single 75g halva bars up front, and multipacks on a shelf for the regulars.
The second order tells you more than the first one did, in our experience. Halva tends to get bought the way people rebuy coffee, again whenever they run out, so it quietly sets a floor for you. The dragees are moody. Nothing for a while, then a wedding gets booked and somebody wants a couple of colors at once (that’s when you restock them big). Putting both on one gluten-free order means the steady thing and the spiky thing get topped up together, which we find a lot less fiddly. Weights don’t wander much, 0.99 to 1.65 pounds a unit. And since it’s just Italy for the dragees and Greece for the halva, you’re keeping track of two kinds of thing. Walk past the bins once a week and you’ll usually see what’s low.
Shelf layout for the section
Eye level is where the color belongs. We’d run the dragees from yellow and white toward red (or however your eye likes it, honestly) and suddenly six plain bins look like somebody planned them. A planner picking a wedding palette gets it right away. The shells stay glossy in an open bin for a long time. That matters because a half-empty bin still has to look good. Above all of it goes one gluten-free label.
The halva wants a spot of its own, right beside the dragees (we wouldn’t mix it into the bins). Almond or classic, both are organic honey halva and to us it belongs closer to the natural-foods shelf than the party aisle. Singles at 75g go where hands reach on impulse. The 8-pack and 10-pack sit lower for the person who stocks up, and on a quiet month with no weddings they’re what keeps the section ringing.
Last bit, the dull part. Weights stay in that 0.99 to 1.65 pound band, so a case of one thing isn’t wildly different from a case of another and a mixed dragee and halva reorder won’t throw surprises at you. Two sources only. If your bulk catalog grows later that’s still easy to keep straight, and we’re happy for this side of it to stay dull since the bright bins already do the selling.
Your first order, line by line
If you only remember a little of this page, make it the dragees for the party people and halva for the snackers. Read the label before the tag goes up. Restock whatever empties first (it won’t always be the one you’d guess), and know that every pack falls between 0.99 and 1.65 pounds. When you’re set, open a wholesale account and order one case. We’ll send it to your store wherever it is in the US. Account pricing follows approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm an item is gluten-free before I tag it?
Open the product page and read the label, that’s really it. All 12 here are listed gluten-free (the Italian dragees and the Greek halva alike), but we’d still check each one before a tag gets printed so the sign and the package never disagree.
What should a first order look like?
None at all. One case is fine. Cases usually weigh 5 to 10 kg, which is plenty for trying the Green almond dragees before you go bigger. Approved wholesale accounts get account pricing, and for larger volumes you can ask for a quote.
Which dragee colors should I stock first?
Six. Start with whatever your local weddings and events lean toward and widen out once something sells. There’s yellow and green. White and blue too, and pink and red round it out. All gluten-free bulk.
Which halva formats belong on the shelf?
Almond or classic recipe, as a single 75g bar or in an 8-pack or 10-pack. Singles sell on impulse, and the multipacks go to people who buy halva regularly and like to plan.
What origin details can I put on shelf tags?
Italy and Greece. The almond dragees are Italian and the organic honey halva is Greek, so you can put organic on the halva tag. Both ship to wholesale accounts across the US with no minimum.
How does reordering work once the section is running?
Same as the first time. You add cases and pay by card at secure checkout, and the order’s confirmed when payment clears. US only. Approved wholesale accounts get account pricing and it all ships by the case.
