Switzerland (Sugar packets)
An overview of heraldic sugar packages or sugar cube wrappings from Switzerland. Issued by producers, municipalities or hotels/companies.
Sucrology is the hobby of collecting sugar packets, including wrappers, sachets, tubes, sticks, packs, bags, and squares. Sucrologists normally collect the small packets of sugar that are most commonly found in restaurants, hotels and airlines.
There must be many issues of heraldic sugar packets and wrappings. I am always interested in obtaining more of these !
So far I have collected the following from Switzerland:
