The other route

Made in Gaziantep, sold under your brand.

Lithuania has a substantial confectionery trade and a shelf supplied mainly from Poland, Germany and Belgium. For a plain tablet under your label, a closer producer is often the shorter route.

We are the step above that: whole-pistachio and double-roasted lokum, bars built on pistachio and kadayıf, the Dubai-style bar, colour-sorted dragées and sugared almonds, and pistachio spread in jars. Türkiye's chocolate reaches Lithuania at roughly twice its own world average price, which says where in the range it sits.

The Dubai-style bar is already listed by Lithuanian retailers, so an own-brand version does not have to create the category — it has to be supplied well, in the pack format the buyer already sells.

Your label goes on lines produced in our own factory in Gaziantep.

How it works

Nothing printed before you approve.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Label content

    We prepare the content in Lithuanian from our technical data sheet — food name, ingredients with allergens emphasised, net weight, storage and the manufacturer's details. Your labelling office or the importer signs it off.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

The honest part

What to know before the first list.

Entry and the framework
Türkiye and the EU are in a customs union, so the movement certificate that travels with the load is the A.TR; the offer names it per line together with the customs tariff heading. Rates and rules change, and the quotation states what applies on the day it is issued.
The label is Lithuanian
The mandatory particulars are in Lithuanian under the EU food information rules — food name, ingredients with allergens emphasised, net weight, storage, lot and the details of the company placing the goods on the market. We supply our technical data sheet per line as the ground for it; the importer or your labelling office signs it off.
What the jar is called
Lithuanian buyers search for it as «pistacijų kremas» — literally pistachio cream — and that is the term on the shelf. On the label we write it as a spread rather than a cream, because what is in the jar contains sugar and oil and is not a hundred-per-cent pastry paste. The offer names both: the search term you will recognise, and the food name that goes on the pack.
Who the label names
The company that first places the goods on the EU market is named on the pack. That is the importer, not the exporter; the certificates are issued for our factory.
Coating and what may be called chocolate
A vegetable-fat glaze is not chocolate and may not be labelled as such in the EU. The offer says line by line which one the item carries, and the technical data sheet states it in writing before anything goes to print.
Halal and kosher
Held for our factory in Gaziantep; copies are available on request.
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 Lithuanian
The mandatory particulars are in Lithuanian under the EU food information rules, and the company that first places the goods on the EU market is named on the pack. We supply our technical data sheet per line as the ground for it.
Customs and the A.TR
Türkiye and the EU are in a customs union, so the movement certificate that travels with an own-brand load is the A.TR, named in the offer with the customs tariff heading per line. Rates and rules change, and the quotation states what applies on the day it is issued.
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 is not chocolate and may not be labelled as such in the EU, and the jar is a spread rather than a pastry paste.
Certificates
Issued for our factory; copies are available on request, together with the analysis report and the technical data sheet.
Questions

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 Lithuanian label text?

We prepare the content in Lithuanian from our technical data sheet — food name, ingredients with allergens emphasised, net weight, storage and the manufacturer's details. Your labelling office or the importer signs it off, and nothing goes to print without your written approval.

Can we put our own brand on the Dubai-style bar?

Yes — it runs as an own-brand line like any other, in your wrapper and your carton. The minimum is set per line and stated in the offer, and the label content is prepared in Lithuanian before anything goes to print.

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.
