A good mint ice programme is boring in the best sense: same taste, same draw, same carton count, every single time. Getting there requires a shared vocabulary between you and the factory. Consider this page that vocabulary.
Positioning Mint Ice on Your Shelf
Range decisions for mint ice should start from shelf space, not from a supplier catalogue. Count the facings you actually have, then decide how many of them this line deserves against what it currently earns.
One useful exercise: list every mint ice line you stock and mark the last date each one sold at full price. Anything without a recent full price sale is taking space from something that would use it better.
Getting Mint Ice to Your Warehouse
Track mint ice landed cost per unit as a running number, including duty and local delivery. It is the only figure that tells you whether a supplier change actually improved anything.
What to Fix Before Approving Mint Ice
Specification sheets are where a mint ice deal is won or quietly lost. Two samples can look and taste the same while using different coil wire, different wicking density and different tolerances on the mouthpiece. Those details decide how the unit behaves in week three rather than minute three.

| Storage | 15-25 C, dry, away from direct light |
Inspection Before Dispatch
Inspection is only useful if the result is recorded somewhere you can find it later. A mint ice batch log with weights, codes and measurements turns a future complaint into a five minute lookup.

- Ask how the factory measures puff count, then compare like with like.
- Write the complaint threshold into the order terms.
- Model landed cost, not ex-works price, when comparing quotes.
- Plan the switch from air to sea freight before you need it.
- Confirm the current customs classification with your own broker.
Selling Mint Ice at Store Level
Bundle mint ice with a complementary item rather than discounting it outright. The perceived value holds up better and the second item often becomes a repeat purchase on its own.
Practical Checklist
- Keep sealed retained samples from every production batch.
- Write the complaint threshold into the order terms.
- Start with a mixed carton and let your own sell-through decide.
- Agree the tolerance band in writing before approving artwork.
- Ask how the factory measures puff count, then compare like with like.
- Model landed cost, not ex-works price, when comparing quotes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a sample pack usually include?
A typical mint ice sample pack covers the strengths or variants you are most likely to list, packed so you can evaluate them side by side. Tell us which lines you are considering and we will match the pack to that rather than sending a generic selection.
What if a batch does not match the sample?
Keep the retained samples from the approval stage. If a delivered batch measurably differs, we compare against the retained set and resolve it against the production record. This is why we insist on sealed retained units from every run.
How should mint ice be stored?
Cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. Heat and light are the two things that shorten shelf life fastest. Rotate stock by batch code rather than by arrival date, and keep cartons off concrete floors in humid warehouses.
What if I only need a small first order?
That is normal and sensible. A mixed carton lets you test mint ice in your own market before committing to a production run, and the specification you approve at that stage carries through to larger orders unchanged.
What is the usual minimum order for mint ice?
For a standard production run the minimum is normally one master carton per flavour, though mixed cartons can be arranged for a first order. If you are testing the line, ask about a sample pack first and treat the freight as part of your research budget.
Next Step
We would rather quote you accurately and lose the order than quote optimistically and lose the relationship. Ask us the awkward questions early.
