Can you ship trade show giveaways directly to the venue?

Yes, to the show's advance warehouse or directly to the booth. Confirm the venue's food policy first — some convention centres with exclusive catering contracts restrict outside food.

What is the lowest-cost branded food giveaway?

Individually wrapped mints and hard candies have the lowest unit cost of anything on the site. Minimums are moderate rather than tiny, because the wrapper printing is what sets them.

Will chocolate survive a trade show?

Not reliably in warm months. Booth freight sits in unconditioned loading docks — use hard candy or mints for summer shows.

Food is the only booth giveaway that reliably stops traffic, because it is the only one people want immediately. A bowl of branded candy outperforms a better pen every time.

What works on a show floor:

Bowl candy — wrapped mints and chocolates for the stop-and-grab. Cheapest per interaction, no conversation required.
Branded popcorn bags — large printed surface, low cost, and people carry them around the hall, which puts your logo in front of the room rather than just your booth.
Snack packs with header cards — the step up, for qualified conversations rather than passers-by.

Two logistics points that decide whether this works. Ship to the show, not to your office — advance warehouse if the venue offers it, and check whether the venue restricts outside food, because some convention centres with exclusive catering contracts do. Order shelf-stable only, since booth materials sit in a hot loading dock for days.

Chocolate in a summer show is a known failure. Use hard candy or mints for anything between May and September.
