Suitable categories may include slushy mixes, coffee syrups, cocktail and mocktail syrups, soft serve and dessert products, fairy floss flavours, spices and seasonings.
What information should I include in a custom flavour request?
Include the product type, flavour direction, intended customer or event, estimated first order quantity, preferred format and any timing requirements. You do not need a final recipe—an idea, theme, colour or product reference is a useful starting point.

Yes. Minimum order quantities apply to custom products. The applicable quantity depends on the product category, format, ingredients, production requirements and your brief. Our team will discuss suitable options after reviewing your request.
How quickly can a custom slushy mix be produced?
Some custom-made slushy mixes can be produced within 48 hours when ingredients are in stock and the final product has been approved by the customer. Other custom products may need longer lead times depending on the request.
Can I request a custom product for an event, café or retail range?
Yes. Custom development can suit cafés, bars, restaurants, retail promotions, schools, clubs, events, foodservice operators and branded activations. Include your intended use and quantity in your enquiry so we can assess the right pathway.

White Label food products
What is White Label supply?
White Label supply is for businesses that want to sell suitable existing Fun Foods Direct products under their own brand. It is generally simpler than developing a completely new product or flavour.
What can be White Labelled?
We can discuss suitable existing options across selected slushy and beverage mixes, coffee and cocktail syrups, dessert products, fairy floss, spices and seasonings. Availability depends on the product, format and commercial requirements.
Do minimum order quantities apply?
Yes. Minimum order quantities apply and vary by product type, packaging, labelling requirements and order volume. Our team will discuss suitable options after reviewing your enquiry.
How is White Label different from Custom Development?
White Label is best when you are happy with a suitable existing product under your own brand. Custom Development is for new flavours, formulations or product concepts that require a separate development process.

Wholesale, distributors, donations & support
Can I apply for a wholesale account?
Yes. Wholesale accounts are available for genuine businesses purchasing in commercial quantities, including cafés, restaurants, takeaway shops, retailers, caterers, event businesses, schools and organisations.
A minimum $500 spend applies for wholesale accounts. Applications are reviewed individually, and submitting an expression of interest does not automatically approve a wholesale account.
What is the difference between wholesale and becoming a distributor?
Wholesale is best for businesses purchasing products for use in their own operation or normal retail business.
Distributor accounts are designed for businesses purchasing larger quantities for ongoing resale and distribution to their own customer network, such as foodservice distributors, regional wholesalers and multi-location supply businesses.
Do you offer payment terms for wholesale accounts?
Standard wholesale accounts operate on a prepaid basis. Larger organisations, government customers and selected established accounts may be considered for trading terms following assessment and approval. Wholesale approval does not automatically provide a credit account.
Can my club, school, charity or community organisation request a donation?
Yes. Fun Foods Direct welcomes donation and sponsorship requests from schools, charities, sporting clubs, healthcare teams, volunteer groups and community events. Requests are reviewed individually and approval is not guaranteed.
Support may include selected fun food products, foodservice supplies, packaging, syrups, toppings, event consumables, product vouchers, prize packs or giveaway packs, depending on stock availability, timing and suitability.
What information should I include in a donation request?
Please provide details about your organisation, event date and location, expected attendance, community benefit, requested products, delivery needs, funding already received and how Fun Foods Direct may be acknowledged.
