Typical sizes range from small single-serve cups up to larger tubs: 2 oz single cups (often sold in six-packs), individual snack cups around 2.8–3.4 oz, 6 oz packs, and larger 12 oz or 16 oz tubs.

Many dips are sold in ready-to-eat single-serve cups or portable snack packs for on-the-go use, while others come in resealable tubs (for example, reclosable 12 oz containers) for home storage and repeated use.

Most items are sold ready to eat and require no preparation before serving.

Common pairings include tortilla chips or rolled chips, crackers or crostini, and raw vegetables (carrots, celery). Salsa is also suggested as a topping for tacos, burritos and scrambled eggs. Warm creamy dips pair well with crackers, crostini or a sliced baguette, and some snack packs can be used as sandwich spreads.

Many products are labeled peanut-free or tree-nut-free, and some note production in peanut/tree-nut-free facilities. Several items are dairy-free or lactose-free, while others explicitly contain dairy (cheeses). Check the ingredient and allergen statement on each package for exact details.
