Overview

Clear Candy Bags is an independent, woman-owned business, and we are accountable to you, our customer! Our roots lie in candy. Our owner, Penny Duke, was raised in a candy factory in Toronto, Canada. Her parents owned three retail stores and she worked in the stores and in the candy kitchen while she was growing up. They made everything from candy canes to peanut clusters, fudge and more. In the store, Penny was the “bagger” who bagged the candy that was sold. There, she learned early on that once a bag was handled too many times, it no longer looked appealing and so when she saw things were looking handled, she would re-bag the candy and watch it fly off the shelf. It was a game she liked to play, which proved to her and her family that people buy with their eyes. We are now under the umbrella of Specialty Box and Packaging Co... a supplier of retail packaging that spans 2 generations. Located in Albany NY.. Specialty Box specializes in all types of custom retail packaging including shopping bags, food take out bags, candy and wine boxes, and tissue paper & accessories.
