14ml or 16ml — which measuring scoop?
- 14ml scoop (R1.07/unit): the workhorse for single-serve portions — ice cream parlours, gelato counters and takeaway chains. Pack of 4 000.
- 16ml scoop (R1.45/unit): a slightly fuller serve where the portion spec calls for more. Per-1 000 cost R1 450.
- Flat ice cream spoon (R0.38/unit): the budget single-serve option at 15 000 per carton — less than R0.40 a spoon.
- Dosage spoon 2.5/5ml (R0.70/unit): small doses for powders, supplements and flavouring — the lowest per-unit price in the range.
Why per-1 000 pricing matters
A scoop that costs 30c more per unit is R300 more per 1 000 — real money at takeaway volumes. Comparing on per-1 000 cost (14ml: R1 070; 16ml: R1 450; flat spoon: R380) shows where the price sits before you commit to a carton.
Measuring scoop FAQ
Are the scoops food-grade?
Yes — the 14ml and 16ml scoops and the flat ice cream spoon are food-grade PP, suitable for ice cream, gelato, powders and dry goods.
What is the minimum order?
The pack is the practical minimum — 4 000 for the 14ml scoop, 15 000 for the flat spoon. Commercial volumes above a pack are welcome.
Can I order a sample first?
Yes — samples before bulk is standard. Ask for samples when you request your quote.
Frequently asked questions
How much do measuring scoops cost in South Africa?
Measuring scoop pricing depends on size, material and carton volume. Scoops from 2.5ml up to 50ml are supplied in bulk cartons, and the per-unit price steps down with volume, so quoting your full carton requirement gives the best rate.
What is the minimum order quantity for measuring scoops?
Measuring scoops are wholesale products sold in full cartons, so the minimum order is one carton of your size. Carton counts are listed on each product page and confirmed in the quote, with smaller scoop sizes packing more units per carton.
Are plastic or metal measuring scoops more expensive?
Stainless steel scoops cost more per unit than food-grade plastic scoops but suit repeated heavy use and harsher cleaning. Plastic PP scoops are the economical choice for high-volume dosing and are fully food-grade and BPA-free.
Do scoop prices vary by size?
Yes. Larger scoops use more material, so per-unit price rises with capacity, and carton counts fall, so a carton of 50ml scoops costs more than a carton of 2.5ml scoops. Always compare price per scoop at equal volume, not carton to carton.
Where do you buy measuring scoops wholesale in South Africa?
Buy directly from a B2B supplier like Mitrend, which stocks calibrated food-grade scoops in bulk cartons with nationwide delivery. Wholesale quotes give you the carton price, lead time and landed cost in one step, rather than paying retail per pack.
