Private label chocolate and confectionery from Gaziantep, under a brand from Lesotho
Tablets, bars, dragées, boxed assortments, Turkish delight and spreads in jars, made in Gaziantep under your brand. We prepare the label content in English, check your artwork against it, and nothing is printed before you approve the final version in writing.

Made in Gaziantep, sold under your brand.
When a whole shelf is supplied through one chain, the distributors competing for it are competing on somebody else's wrapper. Range does not separate them, because they are offered the same range; price separates them until it stops, and then nothing does. The one thing on that shelf that cannot be shared with the shop down the street is the name on the pack. That is what an own-brand run is for here: a tablet, a bar, a dragée doypack or a Turkish delight box carrying your brand, made in our factory in Gaziantep, shipped on your order and reordered on your calendar rather than on somebody else's.
We are the manufacturer and exporter. Our factory is in Gaziantep; we arrange the run, prepare the label content in English, check the lot before packing, consolidate and photograph the pallets and load one container. Several lines, one order, one document set, one arrival. What stays yours to decide is the line, the format, the label and the minimum — and each of those is written into the offer before anything is made, because on a route that finishes overland a detail settled by memory is a detail settled badly.
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 have in mind. We confirm which of them can be run under your brand, at what minimum, in what lead time, and whether the coating on each is chocolate or compound for the shelf you are aiming at. Anything that cannot be confirmed is left out of the offer rather than promised into it.
- 02
Label content
We prepare the English label content from our technical data sheet: 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 data sheet.
- 03
Artwork
You send the artwork; we check it against the label content and against what the pack can physically carry at that size, and you approve the final version in writing. Nothing is printed before that approval, and the approved file is exactly 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, jellies and wrapped confectionery — with the document set for entry, the origin document named in the offer, and the certificates per line where they apply. The offer names the port of entry and who carries the overland leg.
What to know before the first list.
- Label, in English
- English carries the mandatory information: the name of the food, the ingredient list with allergens declared, 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 before quoting; for own-label lines we prepare the content from our technical data sheet and check your artwork against it before anything is printed. One discipline we do not bend: a line coated in vegetable fat is called a compound or a glaze on the data sheet, on the pack and in the price list, never chocolate. In the European Union such a coating may not be labelled as chocolate at all, and we keep the two words apart on every route for the same reason — a buyer who finds out at the shelf finds out too late to do anything about it.
- The customs file, and what the importer holds
- The origin document and the rules that apply are named in the offer in the form valid on the day, rather than guessed at on a web page. Preference arrangements and duty treatment change, and a figure printed here would be stale before it was useful; your clearing agent confirms it for the consignment in front of them. From our side you receive the technical data sheet per product, our certificates and the analysis report per line. Certificates — food safety, halal and kosher where they exist — are issued for our factory, and the offer names the holder and the certifying body per line. The import registration and the entry of the consignment stay with the importer.
- Minimums
- Set per line and written into the offer. The unit of sale is one full container, and an own-label line can share that container with lines in our standard packs, so a first run does not have to fill the box on its own — which is usually what makes an own-brand start possible in a market of this size at all.
- 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 issue certificates, and we do not describe one 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 rather than a version prepared to be tasted.
- 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 artwork is settled before production is booked, and why the overland leg is quoted on top of it rather than hidden inside it.
- 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 chocolate, whatever the brief asks for, 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, the packaging is printed for your order, and we do not offer your artwork or your recipe brief to another buyer.
- Currency and payment
- Offers in US dollars. Bank transfer: half with the order, half before the container leaves, against the loading photographs. The offer states the banking route that applies on the day, 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 it when everyone here is supplied from the same place?
That is the reason rather than the objection. Where the range on offer is the same for every distributor on the street, range stops separating anyone and price does the separating until it cannot. A pack with your name on it is not available to your competitor, and it also puts the format, the case weight and the reorder date on your side instead of on the importer who got there first.
Who prepares the label?
We prepare the content in English 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. We check the artwork against the content and against what the pack can carry at that size.
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.
Our first run is small and the country is landlocked. Can own-label lines travel with other stock?
Yes, and for a first run that is usually the sensible way to do it. Own-label lines and lines in our standard packs load into the same container on one order and one document set, so the box is filled without committing the whole run to a brand the shelf has not seen yet. The offer states which lines are reefer lines, the port of entry and who carries the overland leg, so the mixed load is planned rather than improvised.
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.
