Label Printing for export to Mexico
Label Printing are among the lines we supply most into Mexico, where food processing and FMCG make up much of the industrial base.
Label Printing for Mexico
Demand in Mexico is built on food processing, beverage bottling, FMCG and chemicals. Food processing and FMCG 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 label printing the question is always artwork proofed and colour recorded, so a reorder matches the first run. Heat is the constraint in Mexico. An adhesive specified for a temperate warehouse creeps at Mexico summer temperatures, so we specify to the temperature the pack will actually see there.
Most food work comes to us as a family of SKUs rather than one label, so the sensible economy is a common die and a shared base plate with only the variable panel changing.
A Mexico order for label 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 Mexico is food and beverage labels and personal care labels, so a label printing enquiry from Mexico is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to Manzanillo or Veracruz is the leg it travels, and a hot and dry destination is what the adhesive bond has to be specified against for Mexico.
What Mexico requires
Cosmetic and personal-care labelling rules are the ones that bite here. In Mexico that means NOM-051 food labelling with front-of-pack warning octagons, COFEPRIS registration, Spanish declarations, metric units. Language on pack: Spanish mandatory.
We set label printing artwork against those Mexico requirements and proof it with your importer there before any plate or die is cut.
Getting it to Mexico
Nhava Sheva to Manzanillo or Veracruz — 28 to 38 days. 38 days in a container is long enough for the hold to swing between damp nights and hot afternoons many times over. Landing into Mexico’s heat, an adhesive specified at Indian room temperature is close to its working limit on the day the label printing arrive.

Questions
Label Printing in Mexico — questions we are asked
Do you supply label printing in Mexico?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Nhava Sheva to Manzanillo or Veracruz — 28 to 38 days.
What do Mexico customers use label printing for?
Food processing and FMCG mainly. Food and beverage labels, personal care labels, industrial labels, carton labels — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for label printing to Mexico?
No fixed minimum for label printing. Mexico consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller Mexico run workable. Nhava Sheva to Manzanillo or Veracruz — 28 to 38 days.
How do Mexico buyers usually order label 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 Mexico 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 Mexico repeats.
