The Short Version
If you’re planning a wholesale order of mint-family foodservice cylinders, the work is mostly upstream of the order itself. You need to confirm SKU availability across the variants you actually use, plan pallet builds that match your kitchen rotation, and route the documentation through whatever compliance gates your buyer profile runs.
This hub sits inside the Cream Deluxe Sixth Wave flavor guide and the Cream Deluxe wholesale hub. Start there if you’re new to the flavoured cylinder category; come back here for the mint-specific planning.
Why The Flavor Family Matters For Procurement
Flavor families aren’t a marketing layer — they’re a stockroom layer. A kitchen running a dessert-led menu burns the mint family at a very different rhythm to a kitchen using it for occasional cocktail work. If you stock the wrong family depth, you either run out on a Friday or you sit on slow-moving stock for two months.
Three things to confirm before locking a mint-family order:
- Which specific variants does your menu actually use? Family-level demand is rarely uniform — one or two SKUs in the family usually carry 70% of the burn.
- What’s your weekly cycle? Flavoured cylinders have predictable demand only when the menu is predictable. New seasonal launches shift the curve hard.
- Mixed-pallet appetite? Some buyers prefer single-family pallets; others want a mixed build across two or three families. Both work; the choice affects per-pallet density and quote price.
SKU Availability And Variant Mapping
Confirm SKU availability at quote — flavoured cylinder rotations change more often than unflavoured. A variant that ran cleanly through Q1 might be on extended lead time in Q3 depending on supplier batch.
We don’t publish a full variant matrix on this page because it would be wrong half the time. The qualification wizard captures the variants you’re after and surfaces current availability on the quote.
Pallet Planning For Mint Family
Pallet anchors sit at indicative floors of £4,800 for 666g pallet builds and £3,000 for 2kg. Mixed-family builds settle at slightly different per-pallet figures depending on which specific SKUs you include; the working quote covers this.
For most mint-family buyers the pallet planning question is whether to run a single-family pallet or a mixed build. A practical rule:
- If your kitchen burns the family at 2kg+ per week, single-family pallets keep stockroom rotation simple.
- If your kitchen burns it at under 1kg per week, mix with adjacent families to keep the order economical.
Compliance And Documentation
Food-grade certification applies across the Cream Deluxe Sixth Wave range. The certification library carries the underlying documentation; specific batch records are issued with the quote.
Flavoured cylinders carry the same compliance posture as unflavoured: food-grade, supplier-audited, shipped on UK or international wholesale terms via DDP where applicable.
Quote And Next Steps
The qualification wizard captures the family, the specific variants you’ve narrowed to, pallet quantity, delivery postcode, and business verification status. Quote follows on the same business day for standard UK orders.
