Bulk Confetti & Dragées Wholesale

Bulk Confetti & Dragées Wholesale

Hardly anyone buys a sugared almond just to eat it. It goes into a favor bag or onto a christening table. Spring weddings and Easter make the busy season, and graduations add a little more. Specialty food shops sell them in between, because Italian and French confetti still feel like a treat. Anyone shopping bulk confetti and dragees wholesale is mostly buying for those moments.

Three makers carry the page, Crispo and Confetti Maxtris from Italy and Dragees Pecou from France. These are the two traditions people mean when they talk about sugared almonds. The Italian kind follows the Sulmona tradition, a hard sugar shell around an almond. It’s been part of Italian and Italian-American ceremonies for a very long time. Guests at a wedding get a little tulle pouch. A christening table might have the confetti piled up in a sculpted arrangement. At Easter the pastel ones go out as presents. Pecou’s French dragees are almond-based as well, but the coating technique and the flavor emphasis are different from the Italian style.

Cases are 1 to 2 lb, so you can try a lot of colors and flavors without betting on one. Which sells first, pistachio or lemon? Buy a case of each and you’ll know. Several items are gluten-free, which event planners with picky guest lists tend to appreciate. There are 38 SKUs on the page, so one section can hold every main event color.

The white Italian almond line from Crispo and Confetti Maxtris is the core. Italian White Almond Confetti Dragees Pistachio Flavor has a nutty, savory-sweet center. Italian White Almond Confetti Dragees Lemon Flavor goes bright and citrusy. White is the color most people ask for at Italian-style weddings and christenings, so these two will probably move. The one with real history is Italian White Anise Confetti Dragees (Anicini). Aniseed was the original flavoring in Sulmona confetti, and if you serve Italian families you’ll want it in stock. After that come two builds of the white almond. White Avola Peeled Almond Dragees use the Avola almond, which is the Sicilian variety. White Almond Dragees Thin Shell are the gluten-free ones.

Color is where the page gets wide. Italian Yellow Almond Confetti Dragees are gluten-free and show up at Easter and spring parties. Weddings with a yellow or gold theme use them too. Green is Green Almond Dragees Thin Shell, for spring events and Mardi Gras. Blue comes two ways. Blue Avola Peeled Almond Dragees and Blue Almond Dragees Thin Shell are what baby boy christenings and blue weddings call for. Pink is the same pair. Pink Avola Peeled Almond Dragees and Pink Almond Dragees Thin Shell get requested for baby showers and gender reveals. Red has one item, Red Almond Dragees Thin Shell, which fits Valentine’s Day and Christmas.

A wide palette has a practical upside. One wholesale account gets you every color, so a bridal shop planning favors for several events doesn’t have to chase down separate European suppliers. The Avola versions and the thin-shell versions differ too. Avola is the Sicilian almond. Thin-shell is the gluten-free build. Which you choose depends on the event and on what the client wants to spend.

Gold Foil Wrapped Almond Dragees are the dressy ones, each almond wrapped on its own in gold. We’d suggest them for nicer wedding favors and gift boxes, or anywhere the look matters as much as the taste. They photograph well, and event suppliers notice that because their customers post event pictures online. Set them beside the white and the colored confetti and one display shows the old Italian ceremony and the newer gift style together.

Dragees Pecou is the French half of the page. The coating on them is very even, and the flavor leans a little differently from the Italian ones. If you have Francophile customers it’s an obvious add. It’s also useful when an all-Italian confetti section starts to feel one-note. French weddings use dragees as a ceremonial standard, same as Italian ones do. Carry both and you’ll reach more of the event crowd.

White Cinnamon Sticks Confetti Canellini from Italy is cinnamon instead of the usual almond base. It’s for the customer who keeps asking for something unusual. Then come the liqueur pieces, Lemon Liqueur Citrus Confetti Dragees and Orange Liqueur Citrus Confetti Dragees. Those are grown-up candy. Under the hard sugar shell there’s an almond and a layer flavored with liqueur. They belong in specialty food shops and in gifts meant for adults.

Sort the display by color. White in one spot, then the colored ones grouped by family. Foil pieces sit up front, where light catches them. Canellini and the liqueur flavors can go off to the side. A buyer putting together matched favor packs will find things fast that way. Bulk means per-pound pricing, and a bridal shop selling favor bags by the hundred needs exactly that. Little label cards for flavor and almond type (Avola or regular) save you a lot of questions at the counter.

Baskets are a good home for confetti. It fills out a basket with color and volume without crowding the other items. Italian-themed baskets and wedding gift sets use it, and so do Mediterranean food baskets. Corporate gifts for Italian-American clients are another spot that ordinary candy distributors tend to skip. Honestly, a confetti display nearly runs itself in a specialty shop, because everyone gets the favor idea at a glance.
