Label Printing for export to Philippines
Label Printing are among the lines we supply most into Philippines, where food processing, FMCG and pharmaceuticals make up much of the industrial base.
Label Printing 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 label printing the question is always artwork proofed and colour recorded, so a reorder matches the first run. Humidity is the constraint in Philippines. Lamination keeps the print from going soft, and an adhesive rated to 45°C keeps the corner from lifting before the pack reaches a Philippines shelf.
Most food work comes to us as a family of SKUs rather than one label, so the sensible economy is a common die and a shared base plate with only the variable panel changing.
A Philippines order for label printing 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 label printing 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 adhesive bond has to be specified against for Philippines.
What Philippines requires
Cosmetic and personal-care labelling rules are the ones that bite here. In Philippines that means FDA Philippines licence and product notification numbers, DTI requirements, English labelling with local importer details. Language on pack: English and Filipino.
We set label printing artwork against those Philippines requirements and proof it with your importer there before any plate or die is cut.
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 label printing for Philippines travel shrink-wrapped on the pallet.

Questions
Label Printing in Philippines — questions we are asked
Do you supply label printing in Philippines?
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 label printing 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 label printing to Philippines?
No fixed minimum for label printing. 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 label printing?
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. Tell us the quantity and the reorder interval and we will quote the die and the material once, then hold both on file for Philippines repeats.
