Chromo Labels for export to Philippines
Chromo Labels are among the lines we supply most into Philippines, where food processing, FMCG and pharmaceuticals make up much of the industrial base.
Chromo Labels for Philippines
Demand in Philippines is built on food processing, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, beverage bottling and brand protection. Food processing, FMCG and pharmaceuticals 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 chromo labels the question is always a one-side-coated paper that takes ink well but needs care in damp storage. Humidity is the constraint in Philippines. Board takes up moisture and loses stiffness, so cartons going to Philippines are run on a heavier caliper than the same job for a dry market.
Chromo is the workhorse for gummed and wet-glue food labelling, and its weakness is moisture — a chilled or condensating pack is where it stops being the right economy.
A Philippines order for chromo 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 Philippines is food and beverage labels and cosmetic and personal care labels, so a chromo labels enquiry from Philippines is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to Manila is the leg it travels, and a humid destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for Philippines.
Where this sits against Philippines rules
Which rules apply depends on what the label goes onto. The regime your importer works to in Philippines is FDA Philippines licence and product notification numbers, DTI requirements, English labelling with local importer details — and the pack language is English and Filipino. None of that is what you are specifying when you buy chromo labels, but it is what the rest of your Philippines consignment travels under, so it is worth knowing which of your items it catches and which it does not.
Getting it to Philippines
Nhava Sheva to Manila — 12 to 16 days. 16 days in a container is long enough for the hold to swing between damp nights and hot afternoons many times over. Landing into Philippines’s humid air, board and paper take up moisture fast once the doors open, so chromo labels for Philippines travel shrink-wrapped on the pallet.

Chromo Labels in Philippines — questions we are asked

Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Nhava Sheva to Manila — 12 to 16 days.
What do Philippines customers use chromo labels for?
Food processing, FMCG and pharmaceuticals mainly. Food and beverage labels, cosmetic and personal care labels, pharmaceutical labels, holograms — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for chromo labels to Philippines?
No fixed minimum for chromo labels. Philippines consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller Philippines run workable. Nhava Sheva to Manila — 12 to 16 days.
How do Philippines buyers usually order chromo 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 Philippines work in this range.
