Packaging Labels for export to Mexico
Packaging Labels are among the lines we supply most into Mexico, where food processing, FMCG and chemicals make up much of the industrial base.
Packaging Labels for Mexico
Demand in Mexico is built on food processing, beverage bottling, FMCG and chemicals. Food processing, FMCG and chemicals 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 packaging labels the question is always sacks, drums and tubs that are handled hard and stored outdoors. 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.
Shipper labels on food cartons go into cold store, and board that has taken up moisture in transit will not hold an adhesive specified for dry warehouse conditions.
A Mexico order for packaging labels 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 packaging labels 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
Chemical and dangerous-goods marking is the governing regime for this category. 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 packaging labels 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 packaging labels arrive.

Questions
Packaging Labels in Mexico — questions we are asked
Do you supply packaging labels 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 packaging labels for?
Food processing, FMCG and chemicals 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 packaging labels to Mexico?
No fixed minimum for packaging labels. 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 packaging labels?
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.
