Choose small individual bags if you want to hand one to everyone or give them out to take away; a box of sharing bags is better if you want to stock up for several drinks occasions. Duyvis Crac A Nut Paprika is available in packs of 20 × 45 grams, while Duyvis Poesta comes in packs of 8 × 275 grams, according to Kantinewinkel.nl and Foods & Goods respectively. Compare the total quantity and always check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the exact packaging before handing them out: a multipack doesn’t automatically contain small bags for taking away.
If you want to give everyone a sealed bag on Friday afternoon, or take one away with you, check both the number of bags and the weight of each one. Kantinewinkel.nl lists a Duyvis Crac A Nut Paprika multipack containing 20 bags of 45 grams each.
If you’re buying for several occasions, a box of individual sharing bags can be handy, as you can open one bag at a time. Foods & Goods lists Duyvis Borrelnootjes Poesta in a box of 8 bags, each weighing 275 grams.
If you don’t need individual bags, check the contents of a larger bag and think about how you’ll store any leftovers once it’s open. Jumbo lists cocktail nuts in 300- and 500-gram packs.

Individual packaging doesn’t change the ingredients.

Business.gov.nl states that labelling information must be in Dutch and also available online. The NVWA explains that allergens must be clearly listed on the label. According to the NVWA, new rules on warnings about the unintended presence of allergens have applied since 1 January 2026, and the regulator has been monitoring compliance since 2026. These requirements don’t confirm that a specific product has already been checked.
That depends on the seller’s current delivery schedule. On the page consulted, Kantinewinkel.nl listed a delivery time of 13–16 working days for the 20 × 45-gram pack reviewed. So check the delivery date before placing your order; a product page doesn’t guarantee that the parcel will arrive before the next Friday.
