For Candy-Food, participating in the Canton Fair is more than simply presenting confectionery products.

Daily Business Hours: 9:30–18:00

Meet Candy-Food in Guangzhou

The Canton Fair provides an important opportunity for international buyers to connect directly with Chinese manufacturers and suppliers.

For Candy-Food, the 140th Canton Fair is an opportunity to meet buyers who are looking for new candy products, innovative gummy concepts, reliable confectionery manufacturing partners, and customized OEM or private-label solutions.

At the exhibition, our team will introduce a selection of Candy-Food products designed for different retail channels, consumer groups, and market requirements.

But our goal is not simply to display finished products.

We want to have practical conversations with buyers.

Are you looking for a new gummy candy supplier?

Do you want to introduce innovative candy products to your market?

Are you developing a private-label candy range?

Do you need customized candy flavors, shapes, colors, textures, or packaging?

Are you searching for a reliable candy manufacturer in China?

Do you want to develop a new product specifically for your market?

These are the types of questions our team can discuss directly with you during the Canton Fair.

Explore Candy-Food’s Latest Gummy Candy Products

Gummy candy is one of the key categories within Candy-Food’s confectionery portfolio.

Different international markets have different expectations regarding flavor, sweetness, acidity, texture, appearance, shape, package size, and retail positioning.

For this reason, Candy-Food develops a wide range of gummy products with different shapes, flavors, textures, colors, packaging formats, and product concepts.

At the 140th Canton Fair, buyers can explore candy concepts suitable for modern retail, convenience stores, candy shops, novelty collections, seasonal promotions, gifting, impulse purchases, and private-label projects.

Peelable Gummies

Peelable gummies combine a soft and chewy gummy center with an interactive peeling experience.

Fruit-inspired concepts can include flavors and shapes such as apple, mango, lychee, grape, strawberry, banana, lemon, and other customized fruit directions.

The peeling action adds an additional step before eating, transforming a conventional gummy into a more interactive confectionery experience.

This format can be attractive for buyers looking for novelty candy, children’s confectionery, visually distinctive products, seasonal collections, impulse products, and social-media-friendly candy concepts.

Candy-Food can also discuss customized peelable gummy projects covering:

• Flavor
• Shape
• Color
• Texture
• Product weight
• Packaging
• Branding
• Private-label requirements

This gives distributors and brands greater flexibility when creating a differentiated gummy product range.

3D Gummy Candy

Candy-Food’s 3D gummy products combine recognizable shapes with colorful appearance and chewy texture.

Fruit-inspired concepts can include pineapple, orange, strawberry, grape, mango, and other customized designs.

The three-dimensional structure creates additional visual appeal and can help products stand out on retail shelves.

3D gummies can be developed for:

• Supermarkets
• Convenience stores
• Candy shops
• Gift packs
• Novelty collections
• Seasonal displays
• Private-label candy ranges

For buyers looking for a distinctive confectionery product, our team can discuss customized 3D shapes, flavors, colors, packaging, and branding.

4D and Innovative Gummy Concepts

Candy-Food also develops innovative gummy formats for buyers who want to move beyond conventional gummy candy.

Depending on the project, product concepts may include 4D gummies, filled gummies, sour gummies, fruit gummies, multi-layer gummies, blind-box concepts, novelty shapes, interactive candy, and seasonal confectionery.

The objective is to create products that combine:

Attractive appearance + enjoyable texture + distinctive concept + practical packaging + commercial potential.

This approach allows buyers to develop products that are more closely matched to their target customers and specific sales channels.

Discover Seasonal and Novelty Candy Concepts

Seasonal and novelty confectionery can provide additional opportunities for retailers and brands looking to create products around specific occasions or promotional periods.

Candy-Food can develop concepts for occasions such as:

• Christmas
• Easter
• Halloween
• Valentine’s Day
• New Year
• Promotional campaigns
• Limited-edition collections

Seasonal candy can be customized through:

• Special shapes
• Seasonal colors
• Character designs
• Fruit flavors
• Interactive formats
• Gift packaging
• Limited-edition artwork
• Multipacks
• Promotional packaging

Novelty candy can also be developed around mystery packaging, collectible shapes, playful characters, surprise concepts, and interactive consumption.

For buyers, these formats can help create products with a stronger visual identity and a clear seasonal story.

Candy OEM and Private Label Solutions

For international buyers, sourcing finished candy products is only one part of the purchasing process.

Many importers, distributors, retailers, and candy brands are also looking for products developed under their own brand identity.

Candy-Food provides OEM and private-label candy solutions for customers who want to create customized confectionery products.

Our team can discuss product development from the initial concept through flavors, shapes, packaging, branding, and production requirements.

Customized Flavors and Shapes

Different markets can have very different consumer preferences.

A flavor that performs well in one market may require adjustment for another market.

Candy-Food can work with buyers on product concepts including:

• Fruit flavor selection
• Sweet and sour profiles
• Customized gummy shapes
• 3D and 4D structures
• Peelable gummy concepts
• Candy colors
• Texture development
• Filled candy concepts
• Seasonal products
• Novelty candy
• Multi-flavor products

This flexibility allows distributors, retailers, and brands to develop products specifically for their customer base.

Customized Candy Packaging

Packaging plays an important role in confectionery sales.

The package needs to communicate the product concept quickly while also protecting the candy during transportation, storage, and retail handling.

Depending on the project, Candy-Food can discuss:

• Pouch packaging
• Box packaging
• Individual packaging
• Multipacks
• Gift packaging
• Seasonal packaging
• Retail-ready formats
• Private-label packaging
• Customized artwork
• Brand-specific packaging concepts

If you already have packaging artwork, a brand identity, or a product reference, our team can discuss how it may be applied to a customized candy project.

Why Meet Candy-Food at the 140th Canton Fair?

Choosing a candy supplier is not simply about finding a product.

International buyers also need to consider product consistency, communication, customization capability, packaging, quality management, production requirements, documentation, and delivery planning.

Meeting a manufacturer directly allows buyers to discuss these factors more efficiently.

Discuss Your Market Requirements

Buyers can introduce their target market, customer groups, preferred candy categories, flavors, packaging requirements, product sizes, and retail positioning.

Our team can then discuss suitable product concepts based on these requirements.

Whether you are sourcing for a supermarket chain, candy distributor, convenience-store network, online business, or private-label brand, understanding the sales channel is an important part of product selection.

Review Candy Samples

Seeing and tasting samples provides a clearer understanding of candy texture, flavor, appearance, shape, size, and packaging possibilities.

During the Canton Fair, buyers can explore different candy concepts and compare product directions before deciding which products may be suitable for further development.

For new product projects, physical samples can also help buyers communicate more clearly about the desired texture, shape, flavor, and appearance.

Discuss OEM and Private-Label Projects

If you already have your own candy brand or are preparing to launch a new confectionery range, the Canton Fair is an opportunity to discuss OEM and private-label requirements directly with our team.

You can bring:

• Product concepts
• Product references
• Packaging ideas
• Brand identity

A direct conversation with the manufacturer can help clarify these requirements before moving forward.

From Canton Fair Meeting to Long-Term Cooperation

For Candy-Food, meeting a buyer at the Canton Fair is only the beginning.

After the initial conversation, the next stage may involve product selection, sample evaluation, customized development, packaging discussion, specifications, commercial requirements, and production planning.
