Selecting the right popcorn supplies adds delicious flavor to your product, promotes awareness of your business, and makes it simple to keep your equipment in good running order.
Common Questions About Popcorn Supplies
What kind of popcorn do movie theaters use?
Traditional yellow kernels, also known as butterfly kernels, pop up light and fluffy and are commonly found at movie theaters and sports stadiums. Mushroom kernels, another variation, are round and slightly denser, perfect for coating with caramel, candy, cheddar, or ranch flavoring mixes. You can sell butterfly popcorn, mushroom popcorn, or both, depending on your customers' preferences.
What popcorn machine supplies do I need for my operation?
If you're making popcorn in a kettle, you'll need to include oil on your list of popcorn machine supplies.
- Coconut oil is the most popular type because of its long shelf life and the fact that it doesn't produce much carbon or fumes. This oil solidifies at room temperature, but it can cause reactions in people with nut allergies.
- High in healthy fats and low in saturated fats, sunflower oil is also a popular choice. Because sunflower oil has a short shelf life, it often contains preservatives.
- Canola oil is considered one of the healthiest oils but has a relatively short shelf life, as well.
How can I package my popcorn for selling?
One of the most important things to consider when buying popcorn supplies wholesale is the packaging. Example of popcorn supplies for packaging popcorn include bags, buckets, and boxes, all of which typically have vibrant colors and merchandising graphics. Bags can hold 0.6 to 170 ounces of popcorn. While paper bags are eco-friendly, plastic bags are more versatile. Popcorn boxes can hold 0.75 to 170 ounces and can have open tops or lids that flip down for convenient transport.
What commercial popcorn supplies do I need to display my product?
Displaying your popcorn is important for increasing sales. Popcorn equipment and supplies are available to advertise your product, display it attractively, and store it in a controlled environment to preserve texture and flavor.
Supplies such as lit signs, posters, and graphics help draw attention to your popcorn stand or cart and inform onlookers of your product.
Display cases hold popcorn in a deep well and keep it crisp, warm, and visible until it's bagged or boxed. Staging cabinets, another type of commercial popcorn supplies, hold the popcorn in bags, boxes, and buckets for faster service. If you want to sell your popcorn on the go, you may want a cart or wagon. Some of these mobile displays have a retro design that provides a nostalgic feel.
