Offset Printing for export to Bhutan
Offset Printing are among the lines we supply most into Bhutan, where food processing, FMCG and pharmaceuticals make up much of the industrial base.
Offset Printing for Bhutan
Demand in Bhutan is built on food processing, FMCG and pharmaceuticals. Food processing, FMCG and pharmaceuticals in particular buy this range steadily, and the work is repeat work — the die, the material code and the colour target stay on file so a reorder is a phone call rather than a fresh setup.
What decides the specification
With offset printing the question is always registration held across a long run, and colour read against an approved target. Bhutan conditions are manageable, so the job turns on registration and colour consistency across the run rather than on the substrate surviving the climate there.
Cartons and inserts are where offset still wins outright, because the text is small, the register has to be exact, and the run lengths are long enough to pay for plates.
A Bhutan order for offset printing arrives against a seasonal pack calendar, so the reorder is usually the same die with a new flavour panel. What already moves from our floor to Bhutan is food and FMCG labels and pharmaceutical labels, so a offset printing enquiry from Bhutan is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Road via Jaigaon is the leg it travels, and a temperate destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for Bhutan.
Where this sits against Bhutan rules
Which rules apply depends on what the label goes onto. The regime your importer works to in Bhutan is Bhutan Food and Drug Authority registration, Bhutan Standards Bureau requirements, origin and expiry declarations — and the pack language is Dzongkha and English. None of that is what you are specifying when you buy offset printing, but it is what the rest of your Bhutan consignment travels under, so it is worth knowing which of your items it catches and which it does not.
Getting it to Bhutan
Road via Jaigaon — 5 to 7 working days from Delhi. The consignment goes overland rather than by sea, which keeps it out of a container hold but puts it through more handling at the border. We pack for the handling.
In this range
Posters, catalogues, brochures and printed folding cartons — 4 product lines in all.

Questions
Offset Printing in Bhutan — questions we are asked
Do you supply offset printing in Bhutan?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Road via Jaigaon — 5 to 7 working days from Delhi.
What do Bhutan customers use offset printing for?
Food processing, FMCG and pharmaceuticals mainly. Food and FMCG labels, pharmaceutical labels, packaging labels — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for offset printing to Bhutan?
No fixed minimum for offset printing. Bhutan consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller Bhutan run workable. Road via Jaigaon — 5 to 7 working days from Delhi.
How do Bhutan buyers usually order offset printing?
Against a seasonal pack calendar, so the reorder is usually the same die with a new flavour panel — that is the pattern across most of our Bhutan work in this range. Tell us the quantity and the reorder interval and we will quote the die and the material once, then hold both on file for Bhutan repeats.
