From Hook to Till: The Format That’s Dominating Sweet Sales
Posted on: 04/02/2026
Not long ago, sweets were bulky, awkward, and only really fit for pick 'n' mix scoops or sweet tubs. Then came the silent disruptor: the peg bag. Compact. Colourful. Crinkly in all the right ways. Today, peg bags and pouch bags are the fastest-moving format in the confectionery market—favoured for their size, price point, and undeniable shop-shelf magnetism.
At Monmore Confectionery, we don’t just watch trends—we move with them. And what we’re seeing is clear: the Amos range of sweets in peg bags is performing with unrelenting consistency. Retailers love them because they’re versatile. Consumers grab them because they’re affordable, resealable, giftable, and—most importantly—fun.
Why Peg Bags Work
- Impulse-friendly: Hang them on strips, dump bins, or pegs—they shine anywhere.
- Space-efficient: Maximise vertical retail space with minimal packaging waste.
- Perfectly portioned: For grab-and-go customers who want indulgence, not commitment.
- Emotional trigger: Bright packaging, juicy flavours, instant nostalgia.
