Your brand on the pack, our product inside it — artwork, pack format, regulatory content and documentation handled as one workstream.
Everything that has to appear is decided by where the pack is going.
Hazard communication, handling advice, batch identification, shelf life and the responsible legal entity all have to appear correctly and in the right languages for the destination market. Artwork that looks right on screen can still be non-compliant, and a pack that is non-compliant is a shipment that does not move. This is settled before the first print run rather than after.
2–6
weeks to first shipment
From approved artwork and released specification to dispatch.
Compliance is settled before the first print run, not after it.
The product, the pack format and every destination market are fixed, because the market list determines what has to appear on the label.
Brand artwork is combined with the required regulatory content, proofed against both, and approved in writing before any print run is committed.
The container, closure and label are checked against the product and the transport conditions, since a pack that leaks or delaminates is a recall.
Product is manufactured, packed and coded to the agreed format, released with documentation in the customer name, and shipped on the agreed terms.
The arrangement follows how much of the pack and the specification you own.
Standard product · your label
A standing grade packed in a standard format under customer artwork. The fastest route to a branded range, and the lowest commitment.
Your pack · your label
A specified container, closure and pack size alongside the artwork, for ranges where the presentation is part of the offer.
Your specification · your brand
A customer-owned specification, packed and labelled under the customer brand, with manufacturing origin held confidential.
These are agreed before artwork goes to print.
From retail units through to bulk bags. The format drives the line it runs on and therefore the minimum quantity per run.
Set by the label print run and the line changeover. Smaller first runs are possible where a standard pack and a digital label are used.
From approved artwork and released specification to dispatch. Artwork approval, not manufacturing, is usually the critical path.
Vector artwork with the correct colour space and bleed. Files supplied at the wrong resolution are the most common cause of a delayed launch.
Certificates of analysis and safety data sheets issued in the agreed name, so the pack, the paperwork and the legal entity all match.
Manufacturing origin is held confidential where the agreement requires it, including in documentation supplied to the end customer.
It is set by the label print run and the line changeover rather than by the product. A standard pack with a digitally printed label allows a small first run; a custom container with a conventional print run carries a higher minimum that is quoted with the format.
The content required is identified jointly, and the customer approves the final artwork as the entity placing the product on the market. The safety data sheet and the technical content behind it are supplied here so the label and the documentation agree.
Not where the agreement says otherwise. Confidentiality about the manufacturing site is a standard part of private label supply and extends to the documentation issued to the end customer.
Yes. A customer-owned specification can be manufactured, packed and labelled under the customer brand, with the specification frozen and change-controlled the same way any contract manufacturing arrangement is.
Typically two to six weeks from approved artwork and a released specification. In practice the artwork approval cycle is the critical path far more often than manufacturing is, so it is started first.
Send the product, the pack format and the markets it ships to, and we will come back with the label content, the minimum run and the timeline to first shipment.
