Food Product Labels for export to Nigeria
Food Product Labels are among the lines we supply most into Nigeria, where food processing and FMCG make up much of the industrial base.
Food Product Labels for Nigeria
Demand in Nigeria is built on pharmaceuticals, food processing, FMCG and brand protection. 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 food product labels the question is always oil, moisture and chilling, all of which lift an ordinary adhesive. Humidity is the constraint in Nigeria. Lamination keeps the print from going soft, and an adhesive rated to 45°C keeps the corner from lifting before the pack reaches a Nigeria shelf.
Where a plant runs both food and pharmaceutical lines, the food labels still get the tighter of the two date-coding disciplines, simply because the same operators and the same coder are used on both.
A Nigeria 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 Nigeria is pharmaceutical and food labels and security holograms and anti-counterfeit seals, so a food product labels enquiry from Nigeria is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to Lagos (Apapa or Tin Can) is the leg it travels, and a humid destination is what the adhesive bond has to be specified against for Nigeria.
What Nigeria requires
Food labelling law is what governs this category here. In Nigeria that means SONCAP certification, NAFDAC registration numbers on food, drug and cosmetic packs, batch and expiry marking. Language on pack: English.
We set food product labels artwork against those Nigeria requirements and proof it with your importer there before any plate or die is cut.
Getting it to Nigeria
Nhava Sheva to Lagos (Apapa or Tin Can) — 18 to 25 days. 25 days in a container is long enough for the hold to swing between damp nights and hot afternoons many times over. Landing into Nigeria’s humid air, board and paper take up moisture fast once the doors open, so food product labels for Nigeria travel shrink-wrapped on the pallet.

Questions
Food Product Labels in Nigeria — questions we are asked
Do you supply food product labels in Nigeria?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Nhava Sheva to Lagos (Apapa or Tin Can) — 18 to 25 days.
What do Nigeria customers use food product labels for?
Food processing and FMCG mainly. Pharmaceutical and food labels, security holograms and anti-counterfeit seals, carton labels — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for food product labels to Nigeria?
No fixed minimum for food product labels. Nigeria consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller Nigeria run workable. Nhava Sheva to Lagos (Apapa or Tin Can) — 18 to 25 days.
How do Nigeria 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 Nigeria 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 Nigeria repeats.
