Are breadsticks sold wholesale by the carton?

By the Levant Direct team · Published July 31, 2026

Yes — Hamdan's Damascus-style breadsticks (ka'ak al-Sham) are sold wholesale by the carton, across six flavours: Classic, Sesame, Thyme, Nigella Sativa, Anis and Bran. Each flavour is also available in a plastic-bag pack format for buyers who prefer that packaging over a carton.

All six share the same carton dimensions and general format, which makes it straightforward to mix flavours into one combined order rather than treating each as a separate line. That consistency also means a buyer can add or drop a flavour from a standing order without renegotiating the whole shipment around a different box size.

What comes in a carton

Each carton runs roughly 0.04 m³ (41 x 35.5 x 26 cm), a consistent size across the range from Hamdan for Foods in Jordan, which makes case-count planning and delivery volume easier to estimate across a mixed-flavour order than if each flavour used a different box size.

That consistency also simplifies storage once a shipment arrives — cartons of different flavours stack and shelve the same way, so a receiving team doesn't need to plan separate storage arrangements for each variety.

Carton vs plastic-bag format — which to choose

The carton is the standard case-lot format, suited to foodservice buyers and retailers stocking shelf volume from a single box per flavour. Each flavour also has a plastic-bag pack alternative (item numbers running from #61108 through #61113 across the range) for buyers who prefer that packaging for their own shelf or repack process. Both formats hold the same product — the difference is packaging, not the breadstick itself.

Ordering multiple flavours in one carton order

A grocer building a full snack shelf, or a foodservice buyer stocking cheese and grazing boards, typically orders several flavours together rather than a single SKU — sesame and thyme as savoury staples, nigella sativa and anis for variety, classic and bran as neutral options. Put the flavour split and case counts on one inquiry for a combined quotation. If your actual need is closer to a thin Italian-style breadstick rather than this Damascus-style range, see grissini breadsticks bulk for the honest comparison between the two.

Who typically buys these cartons

Ethnic and specialty grocers stock the full six-flavour range as a recognizable pantry staple for customers who already know ka'ak al-Sham by name. Restaurants and cafés use them as a bread-basket alternative or a cheese-board component, where the flavoured varieties in particular — sesame, thyme, nigella sativa — add more character than a plain breadstick would. Gift and hospitality retailers sometimes stock the carton format directly as a shelf item, since the carton itself presents cleanly without needing to be repacked into a different container.

A new grocery account often starts with one or two cartons across the most familiar flavours — classic and sesame — before expanding into the full six-flavour range once demand on the shelf is confirmed.

Shelf life and storage

Like most baked, dried breadsticks, these are a shelf-stable dry-goods item — store cartons in a cool, dry area away from moisture, the same as the rest of a dry pantry shelf. Rotating older cartons ahead of newer stock keeps a retail shelf consistent, particularly for a slower-moving flavour among the six.

Because the carton format seals the breadsticks away from open-air exposure until it's opened, it also travels well for delivery across the GTA without special handling, unlike a more fragile baked good that needs padded packaging or refrigeration in transit.
