sticky // frequently asked questions
What is the minimum quantity of candy if I want it customised?
At sticky, the minimum batch size is 8kg. The candy is made entirely by hand, in what is an extraordinary, sculptural process. While this makes it very cool, it also means that there is a limit on how small an amount of candy we can work with. Of course, all our standard retail lollies can be ordered by the 180g bag.
What happens when I submit an online inquiry?
Nothing is confirmed and you are not required to pay for anything when your inquiry is submitted. We want to speak with you in person so that we know exactly what you want. Submitting the inquiry is just that. Make sure that you include your contact details, and one of our team will contact you shortly to discuss how best to make you a little sticky.
Is there a minimum lead time? How long will it take my lollies to be made?
Everything at sticky is made entirely by hand, which means we need to watch our production schedule carefully. A good rule of thumb is to try to give us three weeks notice, with a little more time around the Christmas period if possible. Of course, we will always do our best to fill urgent requests where possible, and we usually manage it, but the more notice you can give us the better.
Are the packaging options on the Pricing and Packaging page my only choices?
No. We are just about infinitely flexible. Some jars, some bags, half this, half that. Whatever you think you might need, just get in contact and we'll make it happen. If you don't need it all packaged, we'll provide the remainder to you in 1kg bags at no cost.
Can I package it myself?
We love it when you package it yourself. Please remember that there are no preservatives in what we do and that the lollies do need to be packed into something airtight. There are some beautiful packaging options out there, but if they aren't completely airtight, make sure the lollies go into a small bag or similar airtight container first.
Is there an expiry date on the Candy?
Yes. Although it is a wonderful preservative, the nature of sugar is that it wants to be a crystal. After about 6 months, the candy will begin to crystallise, the colours will start to fade, and the texture will change. You can still eat it, but it won't be quite as beautiful for ever.
Does my choice of colour limit the choice of flavour?
No. Any colour with any flavour. They are separate processes. Just remember that each 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 kg batch will be a single flavour and colour scheme choice.
Can Sticky deliver anywhere in Australia? Overseas?
Yes. Cost of the candy is the same, but delivery charges will change. Send an enquiry through and we will give you a quote. Of course, if you live in Singapore, contact sticky Singapore for a quote.
Do the lollies contain Gluten?
No. They are 100% Gluten Free. They are made with GLUCOSE which is derived from wheat, but contain 0% Gluten.
