Bottle Stickers for export to Sri Lanka
Bottle Stickers are among the lines we supply most into Sri Lanka, where food processing, beverage bottling and pharmaceuticals make up much of the industrial base.
Bottle Stickers for Sri Lanka
Demand in Sri Lanka is built on food processing, beverage bottling, agri-inputs and pharmaceuticals. Food processing, beverage bottling 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 bottle stickers the question is always curved glass or PET, often cold and damp when the label goes on. Humidity is the constraint in Sri Lanka. Lamination keeps the print from going soft, and an adhesive rated to 45°C keeps the corner from lifting before the pack reaches a Sri Lanka shelf.
Bottling lines decide this one. Wrap-around on a fast line needs a stiffer facestock than hand application, and the leading and trailing edges need enough tack to close over the curve without a gap you can pick at.
A Sri Lanka order for bottle stickers 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 Sri Lanka is food and beverage labels and tea and spice labels, so a bottle stickers enquiry from Sri Lanka is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva or Tuticorin to Colombo is the leg it travels, and a humid destination is what the adhesive bond has to be specified against for Sri Lanka.
What Sri Lanka requires
Food labelling law is what governs this category here. In Sri Lanka that means SLSI standards, Food Act labelling rules, trilingual declarations on many consumer categories. Language on pack: Sinhala, Tamil and English.
We set bottle stickers artwork against those Sri Lanka requirements and proof it with your importer there before any plate or die is cut.
Getting it to Sri Lanka
Nhava Sheva or Tuticorin to Colombo — 4 to 8 days. A 8-day sea leg is long enough that the container cycles through a full range of temperatures before it is opened. Landing into Sri Lanka’s humid air, board and paper take up moisture fast once the doors open, so bottle stickers for Sri Lanka travel shrink-wrapped on the pallet.

Questions
Bottle Stickers in Sri Lanka — questions we are asked
Do you supply bottle stickers in Sri Lanka?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Nhava Sheva or Tuticorin to Colombo — 4 to 8 days.
What do Sri Lanka customers use bottle stickers for?
Food processing, beverage bottling and pharmaceuticals mainly. Food and beverage labels, tea and spice labels, pharmaceutical labels, carton labels — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for bottle stickers to Sri Lanka?
No fixed minimum for bottle stickers. Sri Lanka consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller Sri Lanka run workable. Nhava Sheva or Tuticorin to Colombo — 4 to 8 days.
How do Sri Lanka buyers usually order bottle stickers?
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 Sri Lanka 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 Sri Lanka repeats.
