The other route

Made in Gaziantep, sold under your brand.

A Portuguese brand or importer that searches for a private label chocolate manufacturer usually wants two things: a tablet or a bar under its own name that it does not have to make itself, and a dragée line in its own colours for the gift and wedding trade. We are the route for both: a manufacturer and exporter in Gaziantep, Türkiye, putting our own lines under your name and shipping the container to Lisbon, Leixões or Sines.

The difference is the range and the origin in one shipment. A Portuguese brand can launch a pistachio tablet made where the pistachio grows, sugared almonds and chocolate dragées in its own colours, a Turkish delight box and a pistachio cream jar together, from our own factory, on one order and one set of documents, with the A.TR movement certificate in the file. The question at the end is the same: who makes it, and at what minimum. We make it in our own factory in Gaziantep; the minimum is in the offer.

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 which of them can be made under your brand, at what minimum, in what lead time.

  2. 02

    Label content

    We prepare the label content to the EU food information rules in Portuguese, with the languages you name for re-export: the ingredient list with allergens emphasised, the nutrition declaration per 100 g, metric net quantity, the best before date, and the name and EU address of the responsible food business. The data comes from our technical data sheet.

  3. 03

    Artwork

    You send the artwork; we check it against the label content and you approve it in writing. Nothing is printed before that.

  4. 04

    Production and shipping

    We run the line in our factory, we check and photograph the pallets, and the container leaves Mersin with the A.TR movement certificate and the document set for entry in Portugal, in a reefer for chocolate lines in the warm months.

The honest part

What to know before the first list.

Label
A Portuguese label to the EU food information rules: the ingredient list with allergens emphasised, the nutrition declaration per 100 g, metric net quantity, the best before date and the name and EU address of the food business responsible. For lines in our standard packs we confirm what the export pack already carries and what the importer adds; for private label we prepare the label content from our technical data sheet and check your artwork before anything is printed.
Customs union
Portugal is in the EU, and Türkiye and the EU are in a customs union: chocolate and confectionery travel with an A.TR movement certificate, and the offer states the tariff line for each product and what applies on the day. Nothing about duty is printed on this site, because it changes.
Food business registration and dairy
The importer is registered as a food business with the food safety authority. Where a line contains dairy, as milk chocolate does, the EU rules for composite products apply and the attestation the entry point asks for is drawn up from our documents; the offer states which lines are affected.
Minimums
Set per line and stated in the offer; the unit of sale is one full container, which can mix your own lines with lines in our standard packs.
Certificates
Held for our factory in Gaziantep: food-safety (FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, HACCP), Halal and Kosher certificates. The holder is named per line and copies are available on request.
Samples
Free of charge from our running production; you cover the courier, paid before dispatch.
Lead time
Stated per line in the offer and counted from the deposit and the approved artwork.
Currency and payment
Offers in US dollars; bank transfer, 50% with the order and 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs.
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.

Who prepares the Portuguese label?

We prepare the content from our technical data sheet to the EU food information rules; you place it in your artwork, add the food business details, and approve the final version in writing.

Can we order dragées in our own colours and boxes?

Yes, on selected lines: we run the colours you name and the cartons or boxes carry your brand. The minimum per colour and per line is stated in the offer.

What does the A.TR certificate change?

It is what the customs union treatment depends on. It travels with the document set, and the offer states the tariff line and what applies on the day.

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.
