Made in Gaziantep, sold under your brand.
On the sweet side of this market the shelf is filled almost entirely from one regional source — roughly 90.2 per cent of the 2024 column on mirror figures. A distributor buying into that shelf is moving the same carton as the shop next door and competing on price alone. An own-brand line is the way out of that comparison: the same category, in your wrapper, ordered on your schedule rather than on the schedule of whoever landed it first.
We are the manufacturer and exporter. Our factory is in Gaziantep; we arrange the run, prepare the label content, check the lot before packing, consolidate the pallets and load one container — which, for a destination reached overland, is worth getting right once rather than twice. The range and the paperwork stay in one place: several lines, one order, one document set, one arrival. What remains yours to decide is the line, the format, the label and the minimum, and every one of those is written into the offer before anything is made.
Your label goes on lines produced in our own factory in Gaziantep.
Five formats, one container.
Nothing printed before you approve.
- 01
Lines and formats
You name the lines from the product pages and the pack format you want. We confirm which of them can be run under your brand, at what minimum, in what lead time, and whether the line is chocolate or compound for the shelf you have in mind. Anything that cannot be confirmed is left out of the offer rather than promised.
- 02
Label content
We prepare the French label content, with English alongside if you want it: the name of the food, the ingredient list with allergens, metric net weight, storage conditions, the importer's name and address, and the fields for the production and expiry dates we print on the pack. Every figure comes from our technical data sheet.
- 03
Artwork
You send the artwork; we check it against the label content and against what the pack can physically carry, and you approve the final version in writing. Nothing is printed before that approval, and the approved file is what we run.
- 04
Production and shipping
We run the line, check the lot before packing, consolidate and photograph the pallets, and the container leaves — a reefer for chocolate lines through the warm months, dry for Turkish delight, dragées and jellies. The offer names the port of discharge, the delivery term and the inland destination, because for a landlocked arrival the road leg after the port is the part a printed run cannot afford to discover late.
What to know before the first list.
- Label, in French
- We prepare the mandatory information in French, with English alongside where your file or the shelf wants it: the name of the food, the ingredient list with allergens, metric net weight, storage conditions, the importer's name and address, and the date marking. For lines in our standard packs we confirm what the export pack already carries; for own-label lines the content is built from our technical data sheet and your artwork is checked before anything is printed. If your file requires a further language, tell us and it is prepared the same way.
- Coating, and the word on the pack
- A line coated in vegetable fat is named a compound or a glaze on the data sheet, on the pack and in the price list — never chocolate. That distinction matters more on this shelf than on most, because the reference product in the chocolate column is a long-haul branded one, and a buyer comparing a quote against it deserves to know which of the two things is being offered. In the European Union a vegetable-fat coating cannot be labelled as chocolate at all; we keep the two words apart wherever the pack is going, because a buyer who learns the difference at the shelf learns it too late.
- Certificates and the papers per line
- Certificates are issued for our factory, and we do not describe one we do not hold. With the offer you receive the technical data sheet per product, our certificates, the analysis report per line. Lines carrying ingredients of animal origin — gelatine in jellies above all — travel with our halal certificate, and the certifying body is named per line. The origin document that applies to your entry is named in the offer, stated as it stands on the day rather than guessed at on this page.
- Minimums
- Set per line and stated in the offer. The unit of sale is one full container, which can mix your own-label lines with lines in our standard packs, so a first run does not have to fill the box on its own. For an inland destination that matters more than usual: one well-filled load is cheaper to move than two half-empty ones.
- Certificates
- Held for our factory in Gaziantep: food-safety certification, and halal and kosher certification. The holder and the certifying body are named per line and copies are available on request. We do not describe a certificate we do not hold.
- Samples
- Free of charge from our running production; you cover the courier, paid before dispatch. Samples come off the running line, so what you taste is what the run makes.
- Lead time
- Stated per line in the offer and counted from the deposit and the approved artwork, not from the first enquiry. Printed packaging is usually what sets the pace, which is why the artwork step is settled before production is booked.
- What the label may not say
- A vegetable-fat coating is a compound or a glaze and is labelled as one. We will not print chocolate on a pack that is not, whatever the brief says, and the price list keeps the two apart for the same reason. In the European Union such a coating cannot be labelled as chocolate at all, and we apply that discipline wherever the pack is going. It is the one point on which we will hold up an artwork approval.
- Brand and artwork
- Your brand and your artwork stay yours. We run what you approved and the packaging is printed for your order; we do not offer your artwork or your recipe brief to another buyer.
- Currency and payment
- Offers in US dollars. Bank transfer: 50% with the order, 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs. The banking route that applies on the day is stated in the offer and agreed in writing before production starts.
Asked by brands first.
Are you the manufacturer?
Yes. Chocolate, dragées, pistachio and hazelnut creams, popping candy and Turkish delight are made in our own factory in Gaziantep, and we have exported since 2002. We run your private-label lines, check the lot before packing and load the container at our factory.
Why put our own brand on a market this size?
Because size is not the obstacle here, sameness is. On 2024 mirror figures the sugar confectionery shelf is about 90.2 per cent one origin, which means most of the trade is moving comparable cartons at slightly different prices. A pack carrying your name is not compared line for line with the shop next door, and it is reordered on your schedule rather than on the schedule of whoever imported it first.
Who prepares the label?
We prepare the content in French, with English alongside if you want it, from our technical data sheet. You place it in your artwork, add the importer's details, and approve the final version in writing before anything is printed.
What is the minimum?
It is set per line and written into the offer, because it differs between a printed tablet, a dragée colour and a boxed Turkish delight. We do not publish a single figure on this page, since a number that is wrong for your line is worse than no number at all.
We are inland and printed packaging is a commitment. How do we hold down the risk on a first run?
Two ways, both written into the offer. Mix the load: your own-label lines ride in the same container as lines in our standard packs, so a first run does not have to carry the box alone. And settle the route before the print: the delivery term, the port of discharge and the inland destination are named in the offer, so the cost of the road leg is known before the artwork is approved rather than after the pallets are wrapped.
Are you a private label chocolate manufacturer?
Yes. Your label is printed in our own factory in Gaziantep after you approve the artwork, and the minimum per line is stated in the offer. Prices are not published; they come in the written offer.
