Tattoos & Transfer Labels for export to Mexico
Tattoos & Transfer Labels supplied into Mexico, alongside the ranges that make up the bulk of our work there.
Tattoos & Transfer Labels for Mexico
Demand in Mexico is built on food processing, beverage bottling, FMCG and chemicals. FMCG draws on this range, though it sits alongside rather than ahead of the lines listed below. Tattoos & Transfer Labels are quoted per job for Mexico rather than against a price break, so a smaller run is normal work there.
What decides the specification
With tattoos & transfer labels the question is always a carrier that releases cleanly onto glass, ceramic or skin without lifting the image. 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.
Promotional temporary tattoos are a skin-contact product, which puts the ink specification, not the artwork, at the centre of the quote.
When tattoos & transfer labels are ordered from Mexico they come in long runs with frequent small variants, the same way the rest of that trade buys. What already moves from our floor to Mexico is food and beverage labels and personal care labels, so a tattoos & transfer 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
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 tattoos & transfer 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 tattoos & transfer labels arrive.
In this range
Temporary tattoos, water-slide decals, EP metallic and UV DTF transfers — 4 product lines in all.

What do Mexico customers use tattoos & transfer labels for?

How do Mexico buyers usually order tattoos & transfer labels?
In long runs with frequent small variants, which is why the base plate stays on file and only the variable panel changes — that is the pattern across most of our Mexico work in this range.
