Home / Private label / Chad
Made in Gaziantep, sold under your brand.
A distributor who sells what somebody else imported is competing on somebody else's wrapper. That is true of both halves of this shelf, for opposite reasons. The chocolate arriving here is already overwhelmingly Turkish, so origin separates one distributor from another not at all. The sugar confectionery arrives through a long chain from one distant direction, so the name on the pack is decided a long way from here and the reorder is decided with it. A private-label run answers both: a tablet, a bar, a dragée doypack or a Turkish delight box carrying your brand, made in our factory in Gaziantep that supply this market anyway, and shipped on your order rather than bought from whoever imported it first.
We are the manufacturer and exporter. Our factory is in Gaziantep; we arrange the run, prepare the label content in French, check the lot before packing, consolidate the pallets and load one container. Because the destination is inland, the route goes into the offer as well — the port of discharge we quote against, the border crossing assumed for the road leg, and the delivery term — since printed packaging and a long overland leg are the two things that are most expensive to get wrong. What is still 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 and the season 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 or Arabic 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. The wording on the pack, the description on the invoice and the description on the transit document are kept consistent, because on an overland route those papers are read more than once.
- 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 — with the document set for transit and entry, the origin document named in the offer and the halal certificates per line where they apply.
What to know before the first list.
- Label, in French
- The mandatory information in French, with English or Arabic 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 we prepare the content from our technical data sheet and check your artwork before anything is printed. One discipline we do not bend: 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. European labelling rules forbid calling it chocolate, and we keep the two words apart everywhere, including on a pack that will never see Europe — a buyer who finds out the difference at the shelf finds out too late.
- The customs file, and what the importer holds
- This file is national. The origin document and the rules that apply are named in the offer, and the offer states what applies on the day rather than this page guessing at it — regional arrangements change, and a figure printed on a web page is out of date before it is read. From our side you receive the technical data sheet per product, our certificates and the analysis report per line. Certificates are issued for our factory; we name the certifying body and send copies on request instead of describing a document we do not hold. Lines with ingredients of animal origin, gelatine in jellies above all, travel with our halal certificate and the offer names the certifying body per line. The importer holds the registration, files the consignment and instructs the agent on the transit leg.
- 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.
- Certificates
- Held for our factory in Gaziantep: food-safety (FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, HACCP), halal and kosher certificates. 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 usually sets the pace, which is why the artwork step is settled before production is booked; the overland leg is quoted separately so the two are not confused with each other.
- What the label may not say
- A vegetable-fat coating is a compound or a glaze and is labelled as one — European rules do not allow it to be called chocolate, and we keep to that on every pack. 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. 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: a deposit against the order and the balance before the container leaves, released against the loading photographs. The split and the banking route that applies on the day are 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 brand on it when the chocolate here already comes from one origin?
Precisely because it does. Where almost everything on that shelf arrives from the same place, origin no longer separates one distributor from another — the name on the pack does, and so does controlling the format, the case weight and the reorder instead of waiting for whoever imported it first.
Who prepares the label?
We prepare the content in French, with English or Arabic 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.
Does the overland route change anything for an own-label run?
Two things. The pack spends longer at ambient temperature than it would in a coastal market, so the format and the coating are chosen with the loading season in mind rather than after the fact. And the description on the pack, on the invoice and on the transit document has to agree, because on a transit route the papers are read more than once. Both are settled before the artwork is approved, not at the border.
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.
