Private label chocolate and confectionery from Türkiye, for Cypriot brands
Tablets, bars, chocolate dragées and sugared almonds by colour, bulk cartons for the wholesale trade, lokum boxes and pistachio spread jars made in Gaziantep under your own name, with the label content prepared in Greek.
Home / Private label / Cyprus
Made in Gaziantep, sold under your brand.
Cyprus is a small island market supplied largely from Greece, and Turkish confectionery is effectively absent from its import tables. We say that plainly: an own-brand programme here starts from the shelf, not from an established trade.
What makes it workable is the size of the order rather than the size of the market. The minimum is counted per line, so a first own-brand run — colour-sorted dragées for the μπομπονιέρα trade, whole-pistachio lokum, a pistachio and kadayıf bar — can travel in one mixed container alongside lines in our standard packs.
The Greek label content is prepared from our technical data sheet before printing, and nothing goes to press without your written approval.
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. We confirm what is actually runnable, and what the minimum is per line.
- 02
Label content
We prepare the content in Greek from our technical data sheet — food name, ingredients with allergens emphasised, net weight, storage and the manufacturer's details. Your labelling office or your own team signs it off.
- 03
Approval in writing
Nothing goes to print until you approve the artwork in writing. The lead time is counted from the deposit and from that approval, and it is stated in the offer.
- 04
Production and loading
The lines are produced, loaded in one mixed container and photographed with the doors open before departure. The second half of the payment falls due against those photographs.
What to know before the first list.
- Entry and the trade agreement
- Cyprus is in the EU and Türkiye is in the customs union with the EU, so processed food of Turkish origin moves on an A.TR movement certificate rather than a free-trade origin proof. The certificate travels with the shipment and the offer names it per line. Rates and lists change; the offer states what applies on the day.
- The label is Greek
- What goes on the pack is decided by the company that first places the goods on the market — that is the importer. We supply the ground for it: our technical data sheet per line, the ingredient list and allergens, net weight, and the customs tariff heading.
- Who the label names
- The address on the pack is yours, not ours. Certificates — food safety, halal and kosher — are held for our factory; copies are available on request. A line without a certificate is named as such.
- Coating and what may be called chocolate
- A vegetable-fat glaze may not be labelled chocolate in the EU. Some lines carry a cocoa glaze and some carry real chocolate, and the difference is invisible in a photograph. We state which it is per line and the technical data sheet says so before anything goes to print.
- Halal and kosher
- We name the issuing body and the scheme per line, and the copy is available on request. The certificate is held for our factory. A line without one is named as such rather than covered by a general claim.
- Minimums
- Set per line and stated in the offer; the unit of production is the line, not the container, so a mixed load can carry several own-brand lines at modest volumes.
- The label is Greek
- Packaged food sold here carries the mandatory particulars in Greek under the EU food information rules. We supply our technical data sheet per line as the ground for it; the company that first places the goods on the market is named on the pack, and that is you.
- A small market, a mixed run
- An island this size does not fill a container with one own-brand line. The practical shape is two or three own-brand references alongside lines in our standard packs, each on its own pallet, under one packing list and one A.TR.
- Colours and calibres
- Sugared almonds and dragées are ordered by colour and by calibre, and both are confirmed per line before we quote. For favour work the minimum per line is what lets a first order carry three or four colours instead of one.
- Product names
- The name on the pack is checked before printing. A vegetable-fat glaze cannot be called chocolate in the EU, and the jar is a spread rather than a pastry paste.
- Entry
- An A.TR movement certificate under the EU–Türkiye customs union; the offer states the tariff line and what applies on the day.
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.
Do you prepare the Greek label text?
We prepare the content in Greek from our technical data sheet — food name, ingredients with allergens emphasised, net weight, storage and the manufacturer's details. Your labelling office or your own team signs it off, and nothing goes to print without your written approval.
Is an own-brand run realistic for a market this size?
Yes, because the minimum is per line rather than per container. Two or three own-brand references can travel in a mixed load with lines in our standard packs, which is how most first orders on an island market are built.
What is the minimum for an own-brand line?
Set per line and stated in the offer. The unit of production is the line, not the container, so a first own-brand run can travel alongside lines in our standard packs.
Can we start with your standard packs and move to our own brand later?
Yes, and most first containers are built that way — our standard packs carry the volume while one or two own-brand lines are proved on the shelf.
How long does it take?
The lead time is stated in the offer, and counted from the deposit and from your written approval of the artwork — not from the first enquiry.
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.
