Crawford's mixed box offers 100 individually wrapped three-biscuit packs, including custard creams, but it is not a custard-cream-only purchase. If every biscuit needs to be a custard cream, a single-flavour packet is the clearer choice; check its packaging before buying if separate wrappers are essential, and follow its storage instructions after opening.
A mixed box of wrapped mini packs may suit packed lunches or visitors when having separate portions matters more than receiving custard creams every time. Vending Superstore describes Crawford's box as 100 packs of three biscuits across six varieties.
Single-flavour packets avoid buying other biscuit varieties. Tesco lists a 400g custard-cream packet and Sainsbury's lists a 200g packet; check the packaging rather than assuming either contains separately wrapped portions.
Read the current pack label when ingredients or allergens matter to your household. Sainsbury's cautions that its product ingredients can change, so an online description should not replace the label on the packet being bought.
Decide whether separate wrappers or custard creams in every portion matter more, then check the quantity and storage instructions for the format you choose.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Separate portions | Check whether each portion has its own wrapper and how many biscuits it contains. Vending Superstore lists Crawford's mixed box as 100 individually wrapped packs of three biscuits. | I want portions ready for lunches or sharing without opening a larger packet. A mixed selection is acceptable. |
| Custard creams only | Check the varieties in a mixed box. Crawford's assortment includes custard creams and five other biscuit types; Tesco's 400g and Sainsbury's 200g listings are for single-flavour custard-cream packets. | Every biscuit needs to be a custard cream, even if that means buying a shared packet rather than confirmed separate portions. |
| Quantity | Compare the number of portions with the weight of shared packets; they answer different questions. Kitwave Retail lists a McVitie's case of 12 × 300g packets, not 12 individually wrapped servings. | For a larger shop, I need to know how many packets or portions I am bringing home and where I can keep them. |
| Storage and labels | Read the chosen packet's storage and ingredient information. Sainsbury's advises an airtight container after opening its 200g packet for best quality and notes that ingredients can change. | I may keep a shared packet open between servings, or need to check the current ingredients and allergens before serving it. |
Vending Superstore lists custard creams among six varieties in Crawford's individually wrapped assortment. A wrapped portion is therefore not necessarily a custard-cream portion.
Choose the assortment only if the other varieties are welcome. If every biscuit must be a custard cream, check a single-flavour product's wrapper format separately.
A count of 100 three-biscuit mini packs and the weight of a 400g packet describe different formats. Neither figure alone tells you how many separately wrapped custard-cream portions you will receive.
Compare portion count and biscuit varieties when wrappers matter; compare pack weights when buying single-flavour shared packets.
Sainsbury's notes that ingredients can change. This matters when someone in the household needs the ingredients or allergens checked before eating.
Read the label on the particular packet you buy, including on repeat purchases.

For a shop where small snack packs are useful, this contains six packs in 138g. It is a soft pie rather than a custard cream biscuit; check the packaging if each pie needs its own wrapper.

This 1kg family pack is a custard-filled pastry option, not a custard cream biscuit or a box of separate portions. It comes as a bulk pack and requires freezer storage, so check that this format fits the planned shop.

The six-pack format may be relevant when choosing snack portions, but this is a choco pie, not a custard-flavoured product or a custard cream biscuit. Check the pack if separate wrappers are essential.
Crawford's mixed box includes custard creams in individually wrapped three-biscuit packs, according to Vending Superstore. It also contains five other biscuit varieties, so choose it only if a mixed selection suits the household.
The box contains 100 packs of three biscuits, but the product description does not give a count for each variety. Do not treat all 300 biscuits as custard creams when planning quantities.
Do not assume they are. Tesco's 400g and Sainsbury's 200g listings identify custard-cream packets but do not establish that the biscuits have separate wrappers; check the pack before buying if that format is essential.
Sainsbury's advises keeping its opened 200g custard creams in an airtight container for best quality. Follow the instructions on the particular packet you buy.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current physical pack before serving. Sainsbury's notes that product ingredients can change, including between purchases of the same product.
