The same product can sell very differently in a kiosk, a supermarket and a gift shop. Choosing the format that fits your channel is often as important as choosing the product.
Single pouch
A single pouch or flow pack is the classic impulse format: low price, easy to display, sold from kiosks, corner shops and checkout counters. It is also the format that makes small-price strategies possible.
Doypack
A stand-up resealable pouch suits larger portions and sharing. It stands well on shelves and helps the product look more premium, but it usually has a higher price per pack.
Multipack
A multipack bundles several single units. It suits supermarkets and families, and it lets you sell more value per transaction.
Box
A box suits display, gifting and seasonal demand. It protects the contents and is useful for counter displays.
How to choose
- match the format to your channel, price point and customer
- think about the shelf or kiosk space available
- consider how well the pack protects against heat and humidity; see shipping to hot climates
- check pack sizes in the product range
Frequently Asked Questions
Which format is best for kiosks?
Single pouches, because they are small, inexpensive and easy to display.
Do multipacks protect better in transit?
They add an outer layer, but heat protection depends on the whole packaging and loading plan.
Can I order several formats of the same product?
Often yes. Tell the supplier which formats you want when you ask for a quote on the contact page.
