5+ Most Popular Chinese Domestic Candy Trays
In the year-end shopping period, Tet goods are always a “golden season” for shop owners and businesses to accelerate revenue; even students and office workers can take advantage of this to earn extra income from easy-to-sell items. In the group of Tet decorative products, Chinese domestic candy trays are an extremely popular item for three clear reasons: affordable import prices, high consumption demand, and designs that change constantly according to trends. Just by choosing the right style, the right material, and the right segment, this product is very easy to “run” (sell out) during the 4–6 weeks leading up to Tet.
Reasons to business Chinese domestic candy trays for Tet season
If you are considering “what to sell this Tet” or wondering whether to import jam and candy trays from China for business, candy trays are a worthy option because they are easy to display, easy to upsell in sets, and have recurring demand every year. Near Tet, almost every family prepares a candy tray to welcome guests, buying new ones to “change the atmosphere” or buying them as gifts. Therefore, demand increases very quickly from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month until right before Tet, especially for products with eye-catching appearances and beautiful packaging.
A major advantage of Chinese domestic goods is the extremely competitive import price thanks to large-scale production, optimized materials, and labor. Many basic tray models can start from about 15 Yuan/piece depending on the material and finish, suitable for both new business owners and shops wanting to hit the seasonal market fast. Besides price, what makes this item “sellable” lies in the design: every year, the tray models are refreshed, with both traditional lines serving the majority taste and modern lines serving young customers, apartments, and minimalist homes.
Material is also a clear plus point. Chinese domestic candy trays have all types from ceramic, glass, wood, high-grade plastic to rattan and bamboo weaving, creating a feeling that is both traditional and modern, consistent with the Tet decoration spirit of Vietnamese people. For the popular segment, plastic/wooden trays are easy to sell because of the light price. For the gift segment or aesthetic-conscious customers, ceramic/glass trays or multi-tiered trays are often prioritized because they look more “luxurious.”
5+ popular types of Chinese domestic candy trays
Chinese domestic goods are famous for their diversity and meticulousness. Candy trays are the same: just by changing the style, adding patterns, or coordinating colors, a new “Tet model” is created. Below are 6 types of trays chosen by many shops because they are easy to display, easy to close orders, and suit Vietnamese tastes.
Ceramic Tet candy trays
Ceramic Tet candy trays
Ceramic trays are always in the best-selling group in the mid-range segment because of the “clean – luxurious – solid” feel. Chinese domestic ceramic tray models often have minimalist but sophisticated designs, focusing on rounded forms, tight lids, and embossed or light gold-plated patterns to create highlights. When displayed on the living room table, ceramic trays create a neat, polite effect and fit many interior styles. In terms of functionality, ceramic has the advantages of being durable, less odor-absorbing, easy to clean, and relatively stable in heat resistance, suitable for containing various types of jams, candies, and seeds.
When choosing ceramic trays for business, you should prioritize models with tight lids, gaskets, or secure joints to limit moisture absorption. If selling as gifts, you should choose sets with an outer box or gift bag because customers really like meticulousness.
Wooden Tet candy trays
Wooden Tet candy trays
Wooden trays create a rustic, cozy feeling, suitable for the traditional Tet atmosphere. Chinese domestic wooden trays are usually surface-treated quite well, with a waterproof coating to help limit moisture and make cleaning easier. Popular styles are hexagonal or rounded squares, with clear partitions to hold ginger jam, coconut jam, melon seeds, peanut candy…
To sell easier, you can choose wooden models with warm tones (light brown, reddish-brown), lightly engraved patterns, or combined with clear mica lids. Vietnamese customers often like wooden trays because they look “boldly Tet,” look good in photos, and especially suit houses with traditional styles or ancestral altars.
Chinese domestic glass candy trays

Glass trays are favored because they are transparent, light-catching, clean-looking, and modern. Just by arranging beautiful colored candies, seeds, and jams, the tray already “stands out” on the guest table. Many domestic models also have embossed patterns, glass lids, or faux crystal lids to create a high-end feel. The detached tray line (many small boxes placed on a base tray) is also very popular because it is convenient to separate each flavor and looks elaborate.
A point to note when trading glass trays is the possibility of breaking during transport. Therefore, if importing in large quantities, you should prioritize sources with careful foam packaging, or choose options with goods inspection/secure crating before returning to Vietnam to reduce loss.
Rattan and bamboo Tet candy and jam trays
Rattan and bamboo Tet candy and jam trays
Rattan and bamboo weaving is a “hot trend” in recent years because it fits natural, close-to-nature decor tastes. Hand-woven rattan and bamboo trays often have a round form symbolizing fulfillment or a square form divided into 4 neat compartments. The price of this line is usually softer than ceramic/glass, so it is very easy to “run” for the popular customer group or customers buying to decorate coffee shops or Tet corners.
Rattan and bamboo trays are particularly suitable for selling in combos with Tet hanging strings, red envelopes, mini lanterns… because they create a synchronized concept. When importing, you should prioritize types that are tightly woven and have a stable surface treatment to limit fraying/falling fibers.
Chinese candy trays made of plastic
Plastic is still the strongest-selling line because of its good price, durability, light weight, easy cleaning, and low risk of breaking. The difference of Chinese domestic goods is that plastic is increasingly beautifully finished, many models of faux ceramic, faux crystal, or high-end transparent plastic look very eye-catching. Especially the red – gold tones, embossed patterns, screw lids, or snap lids make the product fit the Tet atmosphere and easily persuade customers to “buy it to display for beauty.”
If you sell online, plastic trays are a safe choice because they reduce the rate of damage when shipping. When choosing models, you should choose thick plastic, tight lids, and standing forms so that when customers receive the goods, they do not get a “cheap feeling.”
Multi-tiered Chinese Tet candy trays
Multi-tiered Chinese Tet candy trays
Multi-tiered trays are the line that easily creates a “wow” effect because they look unique and optimize space. A 2–3 tier set can hold many different types of candies while remaining neat, especially suitable for small houses, apartments, or guest tables with limited area. Many models can disassemble each tier for cleaning, or rotate to open like a “tower” style, which is very attractive to young customers.
To do business effectively, you can import multi-tiered trays in 2 directions: the version without a lid at a soft price for mass selling, and the version with a lid/more luxurious design to sell as gifts or sell with candy sets.
Notes when searching for Chinese domestic candy tray sources
To import goods firmly and limit risks, the most important thing is to control the source – control the packaging – control the shipping timeline. With fragile items like ceramic and glass, you should prioritize suppliers with good feedback, clear real photos, and detailed descriptions of size and material. If ordering online, you should follow the route of “take samples first – close the batch later” to avoid importing large quantities and then encountering simultaneous errors.
Regarding timing, Tet trays usually get “hot” early. If you wait until close to Tet to gather goods, domestic prices may increase, warehouses are easily overloaded, and shipping progress is easily prolonged. Therefore, you should plan to import in batches, both to test the market and keep cash flow stable. In addition, you should also calculate payment options and Chinese domestic receiving addresses in advance (if ordering yourself), as this is a point many beginners encounter problems with.
