Home / Private label / Colombia
Made in Gaziantep, sold under your brand.
Colombia is a cocoa country with a chocolate industry of its own, and the wholesale searches here — dulces al por mayor, distribuidor de dulces al por mayor, gomitas al por mayor — are answered by Colombian distributors' own catalogues, marketplace listings and Instagram accounts, with the gummy searches running on a domestic brand name sold by the carton. A brand or distributor in Bogotá, Medellín, Cali or on the coast that wants a line under its own name can find a co-packer at home for jelly sweets, wrapped candy and a milk tablet without leaving the country, in pesos, with a short road to its own warehouse. What the domestic co-packer does not run is the other half of the shelf: the pistachio and kadayif bar the market searches as chocolate de Dubai, boxed lokum for the end-of-year gift trade that already absorbs turrón and anchetas, sugared almonds for weddings and quinceañeras, and the pistachio spread the shelf calls crema de pistacho. That is the half we put under your name.
We are the manufacturer and exporter. The products are made in our factory in Gaziantep, and the difference against a local co-packer is origin plus breadth in one shipment: pistachio lines made where the pistachio grows and the kadayif is made, and five product groups from our own factory on one order, one set of documents and one container to Cartagena or Buenaventura. Your own-brand lines do not have to fill the box on their own — a private-label line loads alongside standard-pack cartons in the same container, so a first order is not limited to a single product while you see how the shelf takes it. The offer says line by line whether a coating is chocolate or a vegetable-fat compound, because on this shelf the two sit side by side and cannot carry the same name. The question at the end is always the same: who makes it, and at what minimum. We make it in our own factory in Gaziantep; the minimum is set per line and stated in the offer.
Your label goes on lines produced in our own factory in Gaziantep.
Five formats, one container.
Nothing printed before you approve.
- 01
Line and minimum
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 coating on each line is chocolate or a vegetable-fat compound. Minimums are set per line and stated in the offer; we do not publish a number here that we have not confirmed for your line.
- 02
Label content
We prepare the Spanish label content from our technical data sheet: the name of the food, the ingredient list with the allergen declaration, the nutrition table, metric net contents, storage, the lot and expiry fields, and the space for the importer's or brand owner's name and address in Colombia. The front-of-pack warning seals follow from each line's own composition, so they are settled line by line and your regulatory adviser confirms what applies on the day.
- 03
Artwork approval
You place the content in your artwork and send it back to us. We check it against our data sheet, line by line, and you approve the final version in writing. Nothing is printed — no wrapper, no box, no label, no sleeve — before that written approval exists.
- 04
Production and loading
We run the line, check the lot before packing, consolidate the pallets, photograph them and load. Chocolate and chocolate-coated lines are quoted in a reefer, because the container lands on a hot coast even when the shelf is in cool Bogotá; lokum, dragées and jelly sweets travel dry, and both go in the same container to Cartagena or Buenaventura, with the analysis report and our certificates per line in the document set.
What to know before the first list.
- Label
- A Spanish label with the mandatory information for the Colombian market: the ingredient list with the allergen declaration, the nutrition table, metric net contents, storage, the lot, the expiry date and the importer's name and address. Colombia also asks for front-of-pack warning seals on packs high in added sugar, sodium or saturated fat, so which seals a line carries follows from its own composition; we prepare the label content from our technical data sheet and nothing is printed before you approve the artwork. The rules and the thresholds change, and the importer's regulatory adviser confirms what applies on the day.
- Sanitary registration and entry
- Imported food is registered or notified with the health authority, INVIMA, on the importer's side before it lands, and the consignment is checked on entry. The registration is held by the importer, not by us. From our side you receive the technical data sheet per product, our certificates and the analysis report per line, which is what the file needs.
- Customs and duty
- The import declaration is filed by your customs agent, and the offer states the tariff line and the duty that applies on the day, so the landed cost is known before you order. Any domestic tax on the line is your adviser's call. Nothing about duty or tax is printed on this site, because it changes.
- Certificates
- Food safety and quality certificates are held for our factory and named line by line in the offer with the analysis report; halal and kosher documents likewise. We do not put a certificate on a line that does not have one.
- Minimums
- Set per line and stated in the offer. The unit of sale is one full container, mixed: your own-brand lines share it with standard-pack cartons, so the first order is not limited to a single product and a small own-brand line does not have to fill the box by itself.
- 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 written artwork approval is the date that matters on an own-brand run.
- Certificates
- Held for our factory in Gaziantep: food-safety, halal and kosher documents. The holder and the certifying body are named line by line and copies are available on request. We do not put a certificate on a line that does not have one.
- Currency and payment
- Offers in US dollars; bank transfer, 50% with the order and 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs. Customs is your agent's file: the offer states the tariff line and the duty that applies on the day, so the landed cost in pesos is known before you commit.
- The other route, and why here
- A Colombian co-packer will run jelly sweets, wrapped candy and a milk tablet for you at home, in pesos, on a short road, and for those lines that is the sensible route — Colombia grows cocoa and makes chocolate in volume. What it cannot do is give you the pistachio side at origin, or five product groups from our own factory on one order and one set of documents. That is the split: the everyday shelf at home, the pistachio and lokum shelf from here.
- Sanitary registration and the brand owner
- Imported food is registered or notified with the health authority, INVIMA, on the Colombian side before it lands, and for an own-brand line that file sits with the importer or brand owner, not with us. From our side you receive the technical data sheet per product, our certificates and the analysis report per line, which is what the file needs.
- Couverture and what is sourced on request
- Cobertura de chocolate is one of the largest product searches in this market, and it belongs to the pastry channel rather than to the printed retail box. Couverture and bulk chocolate by the kilo, raw nuts, dried fruit, cocoa and empty packaging are sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting, and the offer says whether a line is chocolate or a vegetable-fat compound.
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.
Who prepares the Spanish label?
We prepare the content from our technical data sheet — ingredients with allergens, nutrition table, metric net contents, storage, lot and expiry fields. You place it in your artwork, add the importer's or brand owner's details in Colombia, and approve the final version in writing. Nothing is printed before that.
Do the front-of-pack warning seals go in our artwork?
That follows from each line's own composition, so it is settled line by line rather than for the container as a whole. We hand over the composition and nutrition data from our data sheet, your regulatory adviser in Colombia confirms which seals apply on the day, and the artwork goes to print only after your written approval.
Who holds the INVIMA registration for an own-brand line?
The importer or brand owner in Colombia holds it; the registration does not sit with us. What we supply for that file is the technical data sheet per product, our certificates, the analysis report per line.
What is the minimum for one line?
Set per line and stated in the offer. It moves with the line, the pack and the printed packaging, so we confirm it rather than publishing a number here. Because the container is mixed, a modest own-brand line can still travel economically alongside standard-pack cartons.
Does our first order have to be one product?
No. The unit of sale is one full container and it is loaded mixed: one or two of your own-brand lines can go in beside standard-pack cartons you resell, which is how most first orders to Cartagena and Buenaventura are built.
Can you supply couverture in our brand for our pastry customers?
Couverture and bulk chocolate by the kilo are sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting, and the offer says whether the line is chocolate or a vegetable-fat compound. It loads in the same container as the printed retail lines.
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.
