Choose a mixed box of multipacks if your guests want a choice of flavours and you’d like to hand out portions in advance. A large bag works well if you’re filling bowls yourself, while individual tubes are a good choice if you want one flavour in separate packs. Always compare the number of packs, the weight and the ingredients of the varieties you’ll be serving.
Individual bags make it easy to serve crisps without sharing one large bag. If you’d also like to offer a choice of flavours, take a look at the contents of a mixed box. Albert Heijn lists Lay's boxes containing 20 and 30 bags.
If you’re filling bowls yourself, the total net weight is more useful than just the number of bags shown on the front. A larger standard bag may suit the way you’re serving better than individual portions.
The ingredients can vary between snacks in a mixed box. Before buying, check the information on the specific pack, and when serving, check which bag is intended for each guest.
Choose these if: you want to give guests pre-portioned snacks and a choice of varieties.
Bear in mind: ingredients and allergens can vary between varieties.
Choose these if: you’re filling bowls yourself and don’t need individual packs.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to portion them out yourself and reseal an opened bag.
Choose these if: one flavour is enough and you’d like to be able to give each guest their own pack.
Bear in mind: a Pringles Original multipack doesn’t offer the variety of flavours you’d get in a mixed box.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Most relevant for |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and variety | Check the number of bags, the weight per bag and which snacks are in the box. | If I’m serving several guests, I want to be able to hand out portions without giving everyone the same flavour. An estimated 45% of consumers put this combination first. |
| Quantity | Compare the total net weight with the number of individual packs. | If you’re filling bowls yourself, you’ll want to know how many crisps the pack contains in total; an estimated 33% of consumers prioritise quantity. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Read the allergen information for each variety and compare the nutritional values per 100 g with the portion you’re serving. | If a guest needs to avoid an allergen, I want to be able to check what’s in the bag they’ll be having. Around 22% of consumers put checking ingredients and nutritional information first. |
More bags doesn’t automatically mean more crisps: multipacks also vary in weight per pack.
Compare the number of bags and the total net weight before choosing.
A mixed box may contain different types of snacks and ingredients. The allergen information for one variety won’t necessarily apply to another.
Read the label on the specific box and check which individual bag you’re serving.
Albert Heijn lists Lay's mixed boxes containing 20 and 30 bags, while a Pringles Original pack contains 12 tubes of 40 g. The number of packs determines how many individual portions you can hand out.
