REEDLEY, CA - Mandarins are about to get just a bit more mischievous, thanks to a new packaging partnership with Dayka & Hackett LLC. The fresh fruit grower, importer, and shipper is teaming up with Universal Studios and Illumination to bring Minion Mandarins to grocery stores nationwide. 

Sweet, kid-sized, and easy-to-peel, Minion Mandarins play off of the impish stars of the Despicable Me movies to reach adult and child fans alike. Available year-round, the company says this healthy snack for the whole family is an excellent source of vitamin C and other essential nutrients. According to a press release, Minion Mandarins are available now, and ready to head off sales before the highly anticipated theatrical release of Despicable Me 3 on June 30.

Designed by Fresno, CA-based Ball Design, the engaging Minion Mandarins graphics were created and developed for both 3lb and 2lb mesh-bag packaging. As described by Dayka & Hackett, the bags depict Minion Carl hungrily eyeing a sweet and tasty mandarin snack hanging from the branch above him.
