Empty Sweet Jars – High-Margin Gift Packaging for Serious Sweet Sellers
Empty sweet jars are more than just containers — they’re the backbone of a proven, profitable model that transforms everyday pick n mix into premium, high-margin gifts.
At Stockport Sweets, we supply one of the UK’s largest selections of empty sweet jars to retailers, online sweet shops, hamper businesses, and event planners. These aren’t just plastic jars — they’re versatile, retail-ready vessels built to turn bulk sweets into beautifully presented, high-impulse, high-POR products that sell on sight.
Why Empty Sweet Jars Make Business Sense
In a trade that thrives on margin, presentation is everything. Sweet jars offer a flexible, low-cost way to elevate your pick n mix range into something that feels personal, giftable, and premium. Whether filled with fizzy favourites, themed colour mixes, or branded sweets, jars give you the freedom to tailor your offering while maintaining excellent unit economics.
Our customers — from high street sweet shops to Instagram-born businesses — are seeing increased basket values and higher repeat custom by offering filled sweet jars as gifts, birthday treats, or postal pick-me-ups. In short: jars sell.
The Model That Works
We’ve seen it time and again. Independent sweet shops, both physical and online, building loyal followings by offering customisable sweet jars. Some focus on aesthetic mixes — pastels, rainbows, retro classics. Others build themed jars for events: birthdays, Halloween, Christmas. What they all have in common is a simple formula:
- Buy bulk pick n mix
- Fill jars to order
- Label, seal, and add margin
- Sell as gifts, subscriptions or bundles
This is a scalable, profitable model — and it’s growing. We stock a wide variety of jar sizes, shapes and lids, so you can build a product range that matches your brand and customer base.
Perfect For:
- Sweet shops offering made-to-order gift jars
- Online retailers running pick n mix subscription models
- Hamper sweets for companies creating bespoke assortments
- Event planners and wedding suppliers
- Corporate gift suppliers needing custom branding space
Low Cost, High Perceived Value
A filled sweet jar costs you pennies to make — but sells for pounds. With the right branding and presentation, even a simple mix of fizzy cola bottles and jelly hearts can command a strong return. And because our jars are clear, clean, and stackable, they’re just as effective in a shop display as they are in an unboxing video.
Margins matter. And these jars deliver.
From Pick n Mix to Pick n Gift
Pair our empty sweet jars with your existing range of bulk pick n mix sweets, and you instantly unlock a higher-value product line. From Halal-certified options to vegan sweets and seasonal mixes, the flexibility of a jar format allows you to meet dietary preferences and theme demands with ease.
Whether you’re building birthday boxes, wedding favours or on-demand sweet jar gifts, the combination of jar and mix is a simple route to higher conversion and deeper brand engagement.
