Choose a can multipack if you specifically want sealed, individual cans to hand out: Brand Factory Ltd lists Perrier sparkling water in a 24 x 330ml case. Bottle multipacks offer different portion sizes when cans are optional; whichever format you choose, check the drink type and any requirements that apply if you plan to sell refreshments.
A 330ml can can be handed over without pouring. S.Pellegrino describes its plain sparkling water in this size, while Brand Factory Ltd lists a Perrier case of 24 x 330ml cans. Check the number of servings you expect to need.
Check the product description, not just the brand or can shape. S.Pellegrino describes its plain 330ml can as carbonated natural mineral water; Tesco describes San Pellegrino Orange as a sparkling orange beverage containing juice, sugar and sweetener.
If cans are not essential, bottles give you other portion sizes to consider. Tesco and Sainsbury's list own-label sparkling-water multipacks of 12 x 500ml bottles.
Decide whether cans are essential, then check what is in the drink, how many servings the pack provides and whether your event plan involves selling.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Serving format | Check the container, volume per drink and pack count. Brand Factory Ltd lists Perrier cans as 24 x 330ml; Tesco and Sainsbury's list sparkling-water bottles in 12 x 500ml packs. | I want to hand over one sealed drink at a time. If it must be a can, a bottle multipack will not meet that plan. |
| Drink type | Read the product description and ingredients to distinguish plain sparkling water, flavoured water and fruit soft drinks. Tesco lists San Pellegrino Orange as containing juice, sugar and sweetener. | For plain water, I would check the exact product rather than assume every fizzy can from the same brand contains water. |
| Event quantity | Count individual drinks, not just packs, and check the volume of each. Confirm stock and delivery timing before depending on a case for a particular date. | A pack needs to provide enough separate drinks for my plans; larger bottles are an option only if that portion size suits the event. |
| Selling drinks | Check whether your activity counts as a food business and ask the organiser about event requirements. For food businesses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, Food Standards Agency guidance says to register at least 28 days before trading. | If I plan to sell drinks, I need to establish the requirements for my activity and location before the event. |
