Food Product Labels for export to New Zealand
Food Product Labels are among the lines we supply most into New Zealand, where food processing, beverage bottling and agri-inputs make up much of the industrial base.
Food Product Labels for New Zealand
Demand in New Zealand is built on food processing, beverage bottling, agri-inputs and retail. Food processing, beverage bottling and agri-inputs 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 food product labels the question is always oil, moisture and chilling, all of which lift an ordinary adhesive. New Zealand conditions are manageable, which widens the material choice. The surface still decides the adhesive though — a chilled or oily pack in New Zealand needs the same care as anywhere else.
Bottled and canned lines run fast and wet, so the label has to register on a moving curved surface and then hold through pasteurising or chilling. The artwork is the easy half.
A New Zealand order for food product 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 New Zealand is food and beverage labels and supplement labels, so a food product labels enquiry from New Zealand is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to Auckland or Tauranga is the leg it travels, and a temperate destination is what the adhesive bond has to be specified against for New Zealand.
What New Zealand requires
Food labelling law is what governs this category here. In New Zealand that means FSANZ Food Standards Code shared with Australia, Fair Trading Act origin claims, allergen declarations, metric units. Language on pack: English, with Māori usage on some brands.
We set food product labels artwork against those New Zealand requirements and proof it with your importer there before any plate or die is cut.
Getting it to New Zealand
Nhava Sheva to Auckland or Tauranga — 22 to 30 days. 30 days in a container is long enough for the hold to swing between damp nights and hot afternoons many times over. Landing into New Zealand, the usual complaint is not failure but curl at the liner edge, which becomes a storage question once the food product labels are off the ship.
In this range
Labels for packed food — jars, tins, pouches and wiped-down packs — 4 product lines in all.

Questions
Food Product Labels in New Zealand — questions we are asked
Do you supply food product labels in New Zealand?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Nhava Sheva to Auckland or Tauranga — 22 to 30 days.
What do New Zealand customers use food product labels for?
Food processing, beverage bottling and agri-inputs mainly. Food and beverage labels, supplement labels, primary produce labels, carton labels — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for food product labels to New Zealand?
No fixed minimum for food product labels. New Zealand consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller New Zealand run workable. Nhava Sheva to Auckland or Tauranga — 22 to 30 days.
How do New Zealand buyers usually order food product 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 New Zealand 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 New Zealand repeats.
