Choose individual boxes if you want to prepare portions for lunchboxes and camping trips in advance; a larger bag is a better fit if you want to serve it yourself at shared mealtimes. Compare the number of inner packs and the total contents with your plans, then check the current label and storage instructions.
You want to count out individual portions in advance to take along for lunchboxes and camping trips. Jumbo describes a multipack containing 14 boxes of 14 g each. This makes it easy to match the number of boxes to your planned sharing occasions.
You want to share dried fruit and decide how much to serve at each mealtime. PLUS describes a 375 g stand-up pouch of raisins, while ALDI lists a 500 g pack. These are larger quantities, not individually portioned multipacks.
You want to check the ingredients, allergen information and whether the quantity suits your needs, rather than choosing by pack format alone. The NVWA lists sulphites as an allergen; check the current packaging, as product information can change.
Best for: lunchboxes and trips where you want to prepare individual portions in advance. Jumbo describes a pack of 14 boxes of 14 g each.

Check whether the pack contains individual boxes, and compare both the number of units and the total weight.
A 375 g or 500 g pack does not tell you how many portions you will get from it. With a larger bag, you need to decide how much to take for each occasion.

The Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s storage advice for opened raisins kept in a kitchen cupboard is not based on keeping them in a hot car or a damp tent.
Follow the product instructions and look out for drying out, hardening, discolouration and mould.
The quantity in a pack is a product specification; it does not determine how much is suitable for every person.
Keep pack size separate from dietary advice, and check the label for information that matters to your choice.
