Home / Private label / North Macedonia
Made in Gaziantep, sold under your brand.
Türkiye is the largest source of sugar confectionery in North Macedonia — the strongest Turkish position in any market on this site — so an own-brand line starts from a category the trade buys every week.
Under your own name that means: whole-pistachio and double-roasted lokum, kadayıf-wrapped lines, the Dubai-style bar, colour-sorted dragées and sugared almonds, bulk cartons for repacking, and pistachio spread in jars.
The existing Turkish trade sits at the volume end. An own-brand run can sit above it rather than against it, which is where the pistachio items belong.
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 Macedonian 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.
- 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 framework
- North Macedonia is not in the EU, and the framework is the country's own food and customs rules; the importer files the declaration and is responsible for compliance. The offer names the customs tariff heading per line and states what applies on the day it is issued.
- The label is Macedonian
- The mandatory particulars are in Macedonian — 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 signs it off.
- Who the label names
- The company that first places the goods on the market is named on the pack. That is the importer, not the exporter; the certificates are issued for our factory.
- Coating and what the product is called
- A vegetable-fat glaze is not the same product as chocolate, and the name on the pack is checked before printing. The offer says line by line which one the item carries, and the technical data sheet states it in writing.
- 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 Macedonian
- The mandatory particulars are in Macedonian, and the company that first places the goods on the market is named on the pack. We supply our technical data sheet per line as the ground for it.
- Customs and the framework
- North Macedonia is not in the EU, so the framework is the country's own food and customs rules; the importer files the declaration. The offer names the customs tariff heading per line and states what applies on the day it is issued.
- Above the volume end, not against it
- About 21 per cent of North Macedonia's sugar confectionery imports are already Turkish, arriving at roughly 3.78 dollars a kilo — the volume end. The lines here are a different item rather than a cheaper version of the same one.
- 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 the same product as chocolate, 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.
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 Macedonian label text?
We prepare the content in Macedonian 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 run the same artwork for the region?
The language differs by market, so the content is prepared per destination; what carries over is our technical data sheet, the analysis report and the line specification, which are the same wherever the line ships.
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.
