A Rothe bar order begins with three numbers. The Chocolate Bars collection carries thirteen named lines and three weight formats: 500 G, 1000 G and 2000 G. The minimum order quantity is 300 cartons per item. Those numbers shape a purchase order before any recipe conversation starts.
This article reads the Rothe bar range as a specification sheet, not as a catalog. It shows what each weight does on a shelf, which packaging suits which channel, and how the MOQ becomes a mixed order. Rothe manufactures in Konya, Turkey, and exports to over 30 countries. Fixing the format at the order stage removes repacking work later.
The Bar Lines That Sit on the Order Sheet
Thirteen named lines make up the Chocolate Bars collection, and each one is quoted as its own item. That fact drives the arithmetic, because the 300 carton MOQ applies per item. A buyer selecting ten lines commits to far more volume than a buyer selecting three.
- Coco Bongo, Delisia and Dr. Nuga, each opened as a separate item line
- Goldenmark CocoPlus, Marvel and Mellnut, drawn from the same collection
- Mixtime, Nuga Time and Picky Bar, ordered against the same MOQ rule
- Torra, alongside the other lines listed under Chocolate Bars
How Do the 500 G, 1000 G and 2000 G Formats Differ?
The formats differ by where the bar is sold, not by what sits inside it. A 500 G bar suits single unit retail display. The 1000 G bar fits value retail and wholesale depots that sell by the unit. The 2000 G bar serves catering, bakery and repacking buyers who break bulk themselves.
A buyer sourcing wholesale chocolate bars from one Konya factory can hold a single recipe across all three weights. Only the format changes per channel. Label artwork, carton marking and the customs description then stay consistent. Rothe also customizes weight, packaging and recipe, so an in between weight can be raised during sampling.
Which Packaging Format Matches Which Sales Channel?
Packaging decides the channel more often than the recipe does. Rothe offers 500 gr bags, 1 kg bags, 1 kg and 2 kg boxes, gift boxes and PVC jars. Each option carries a different handling consequence at the far end of the chain.
| Bar or packaging format | Sales channel it fits | Handling consequence |
|---|---|---|
| 500 G bar, 500 gr bags | Grocery shelf and impulse counter | Light cartons, fast rotation |
| 1000 G bar, 1 kg bags | Value retail and cash and carry | Simple price per bag, fewer units per layer |
| 1 kg and 2 kg boxes | Distributor depots | Stackable cartons, safer road transport |
| Gift boxes | Seasonal and gifting retail | Artwork approval step, careful handling |
| PVC jars | Counter display and self service | Bulkier cube, plan pallet space early |
| 2000 G bar | Catering, bakery and repacking | Buyer breaks bulk, carton marking matters |
How Does the 300 Carton MOQ Shape a Mixed Order?
The 300 carton minimum applies per item, so the number of lines drives total volume. A buyer testing three lines accepts 900 cartons. A buyer with proven demand spreads the commitment across more lines and formats. Rothe runs sampling before commitment, which lets a buyer shorten the list first.
- Confirm which of the thirteen bar lines your market needs
- Multiply 300 cartons by every item you keep, then check pallet fit
- Set the weight format per line, not once for the whole order
- Request sampling on any line you have not sold before
Assembling a Mixed Bar Order Step by Step
A mixed bar order is assembled in a fixed sequence. Rothe carries the file from the first brief to the loaded pallet, so a multi line order never fragments into separate conversations. That single thread is what keeps the line count manageable. Production sits under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 22000:2018.
- Shortlist bar lines, for example Coco Bongo, Mellnut and Picky Bar
- Request samples and approve taste and texture before you commit
- Fix the weight format, 500 G, 1000 G or 2000 G, per line
- Choose packaging, from 500 gr bags to boxes, gift boxes or PVC jars
- Confirm 300 cartons per item and test the total against your pallet plan
- Agree the export documentation and choose sea freight or road transport
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 300 carton minimum apply per bar line or to the whole order?
Rothe states the 300 carton MOQ on Chocolate Bars items, so it applies per item rather than to the order total. Three lines therefore mean 900 cartons before any other category is added. Buyers who want breadth on a first shipment usually keep the line count low and widen the range later.
Can one purchase order mix 500 G, 1000 G and 2000 G bars?
Yes. The three weight formats are ordered as separate items. A single purchase order can carry a 500 G line for grocery shelves and a 2000 G line for catering buyers. Each item still carries its own 300 carton minimum. Map the formats to real channels before you finalize the quantities.
Which packaging option works best for long road transport to a depot?
Boxes travel better than loose bags over long road legs. The 1 kg and 2 kg boxes stack cleanly, protect the bar edges and give a firm pallet block. PVC jars and gift boxes need more care and more cube. Raise them with Rothe during packaging design, not after the pallet plan is fixed.
Can Rothe adjust bar weight and packaging for a specific market?
Customization on weight, packaging and recipe is part of the Rothe service scope, alongside private label and OEM production. Bring the market requirement into the sampling stage, while taste, texture and format are still open. Packaging runs from 500 gr bags and 1 kg bags to boxes, gift boxes and PVC jars.
