A crisps multipack with small individual bags is a good choice if you’re preparing snacks for lunchboxes, taking them on the go or serving them separately at different spots around the garden. For a shared snack table, larger packs are worth considering; the right choice depends on the flavour you want and the information on the specific pack. With a multipack, check the number and size of the inner bags, and check the ingredients and allergens for each flavour.
If you’re packing snacks into lunchboxes, handing them out to children or placing them at different spots around the garden, the number of inner bags and their individual weight matter more than the total pack weight alone.
If you want to offer a range of flavours or cater for specific ingredient requirements, check each variety individually. Lorenz lists milk ingredients in Crunchips Paprika; Chio labels Chips Ready Salted as vegan and gluten-free on its product page.
If you’re considering fat and salt levels, compare the nutritional information for the specific varieties on the same basis, such as per 100 g.
A good choice if: You want to pack crisps for lunchboxes, take them on the go or serve them at separate snack spots.
Bear in mind: The total weight and number of bags alone won’t tell you whether each inner bag is the right size for how you plan to serve them.
A good choice if: You’d like guests to help themselves from a shared pack or bowl.
Bear in mind: You’ll need to divide the crisps into portions yourself for lunchboxes or separate servings.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portioning | For multipacks, check the number of inner bags, the weight of each bag and the total pack weight. Also check whether the bags are individually sealed. | If you’re preparing lunchboxes or serving snacks at several spots, you’ll want to hand out portions without decanting them. This is the main consideration for around 42% of consumers. |
| Flavours and ingredients | Check the ingredients list and allergen information for each variety on the specific pack. | If guests have different tastes or ingredient requirements, it’s important to identify each variety clearly; around 33% of consumers put this first. |
| Fat and salt | Compare the nutritional information for the specific products on the same basis, preferably per 100 g. | If your choice also depends on fat and salt levels, the flavour name alone isn’t enough to make a comparison. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this. |
The total weight doesn’t tell you how many inner bags you’ll have for lunchboxes or separate servings.
Check the number and weight of the individual bags on the outer pack, and see whether they’re sealed separately.
Seasoned varieties can contain milk ingredients. Lorenz lists them in Crunchips Paprika; for Chipsfrisch Sour Cream & Wild Onion, funny-frisch lists a dried sour cream product.
Check the ingredients and allergen information for each variety on the pack rather than assuming all paprika or sour cream crisps are the same.
Different serving sizes can make comparisons of fat and salt levels misleading.
Start by comparing the nutritional information per 100 g. If you use per-portion values, take the stated portion size into account.
Crunchips Paprika is a seasoned variety to consider when putting together a selection of different snacks.
The range includes Chipsfrisch, Kessel Chips and Ofen Chips; for your garden party, the specific variety and pack format are what matter.
Chio offers two differently seasoned potato crisp varieties: Chips Ready Salted and Chips Red Paprika.
EDEKA24 sells Gitter Chips Grilled Paprika in a 125-g pack.
For separate portions, consider the 4 × 40-g pack of Chipsfrisch Hungarian. If you’re planning a shared snack table, you could also choose a larger pack of potato crisps, such as 185 g of Pringles Hot & Spicy; this isn’t a multipack of small bags.

The 4 × 40 g pack size makes this an interesting option when you’re planning individual snack portions. Before buying, check whether the inner bags are sealed separately and whether the ingredients and allergen information are suitable for your guests.

For a shared snack table rather than small, individually served portions. The product name states 185 g; if you have specific ingredient requirements, check the information on the specific pack.
A multipack is particularly handy if you want to serve small portions separately or prepare snacks for lunchboxes. Compare the number of inner bags and the weight of each; for sharing, you could instead look at larger packs.
Check the ingredients, allergen information, nutritional values, pack weight and best-before date on the specific pack. For a multipack, also check the number and weight of the inner bags.
No, you can’t tell from the flavour name alone. Lorenz lists milk ingredients in Crunchips Paprika, and funny-frisch lists a dried sour cream product in Chipsfrisch Sour Cream & Wild Onion. Check the pack for each variety you choose.
