Choose twin packs if colleagues need to be able to grab a sealed portion, a standard pack if you regularly refill a small biscuit tin, and mini stroopwafels if you’re mainly looking for smaller bites. Compare the number of wafers and the packaging per portion. If you’re stocking a shared supply, also check the storage instructions and allergens for the product you choose.
For a shared supply, wafers wrapped in pairs are a different option from loose wafers in a tin. Albert Heijn lists a display of Daelmans caramel jumbo twin packs, with 18 packs of two; this listing was marked as not ranged.
If you refill the tin regularly, a standard pack of whole wafers may be worth considering. The listed pack sizes range from 8 pieces at Albert Heijn to 12 at ALDI.
Mini stroopwafels are a good fit if you want to offer smaller wafers. Lidl lists around 37 Sondey Mini butter stroopwafels in a 316 g pack; the product page says they are sold in store.
A good choice if: colleagues need to be able to grab a sealed portion. Albert Heijn describes a Daelmans display containing 18 packs of two wafers.
Consider: each twin pack contains two whole wafers, not minis; the display listing mentioned was not ranged.
A good choice if: employees can help themselves to a whole wafer from a tin that you refill regularly.
Consider: the wafers aren’t individually portioned, so follow the product’s storage and resealing instructions after opening.
A good choice if: smaller wafers are better suited to the coffee breaks you’re stocking the tin for.
Consider: a mini format doesn’t tell you whether the wafers are individually wrapped. Lidl lists its Sondey mini variety as an in-store product.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and handing them out | Count the individual packs and the wafers in each pack: 18 × 2 is different from 18 individual wafers. | If colleagues help themselves at different times, I want to be able to put out sealed portions. Around 42% of consumers put portion control first. |
| Stock and refilling | Compare the number of whole wafers and the storage and resealing instructions for after opening. | I’d rather refill a small tin regularly than open a large supply all at once; this is the main need for around 33% of consumers. |
| Smaller bites | Check the number of minis and whether the pack can be stored after opening in line with the product instructions. | For short coffee breaks, I want to be able to offer smaller wafers. This format is the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
