M&M’s website vs. Quality Logo Products

The M&M’s website allows you to personalize M&M’s. However, their site isn’t the only option. Quality Logo Products also offers custom M&M’s that you can buy in bulk!

75% of the custom M&M’s available at Quality Logo Products come with your design printed on the packaging. 25% come with your design printed on each piece of candy. Ask your sales rep to recommend products based on which printing option you prefer.

It can be tough to choose where to buy your personalized M&M’s. Here’s a helpful breakdown of the key differences between mms.com and qualitylogoproducts.com!

It’s up to you where you do your shopping. The biggest difference between working with QLP instead of with M&Ms.com is that you will have to place a wholesale order instead of ordering just one package.

Wholesale may be better if you need a lot of M&M’s, so crunch the numbers ahead of time and figure out what’s best for you.
