Metal & Anodized Labels for Sri Lanka
Honestly: this is not the range Sri Lanka orders most. Demand there is built on food processing, beverage bottling, agri-inputs and pharmaceuticals, which pulls harder on other lines. We make photo-anodised aluminium nameplates, rating plates and domed badges to order all the same, and quote Sri Lanka on the same terms as anywhere else — ask and we will tell you straight whether the run size works.
What decides the specification
With metal & anodized labels the question is always an image sealed inside the oxide layer, so it survives solvent and abrasion. Humidity is no threat to an anodised plate, which is most of why Sri Lanka specifies it — the image sits inside the oxide layer, below anything the damp air there can reach.
Rating and serial plates on machinery have to still be legible after years of oil, wash-down and abrasion, which is what anodised aluminium is for and what a printed polyester will not manage.
A Sri Lanka order for metal & anodized labels is quoted as a one-off run rather than against a schedule, because that is how the work reaches us from there. What already moves from our floor to Sri Lanka is food and beverage labels and tea and spice labels, so a metal & anodized labels 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 anodised surface and its fixing have to be specified against for Sri Lanka.
Where this sits against Sri Lanka rules
Consumer labelling law does not reach this category; conformity marking and equipment rating data do. The regime your importer works to in Sri Lanka is SLSI standards, Food Act labelling rules, trilingual declarations on many consumer categories — and the pack language is Sinhala, Tamil and English. None of that is what you are specifying when you buy metal & anodized labels, but it is what the rest of your Sri Lanka consignment travels under, so it is worth knowing which of your items it catches and which it does not.
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 metal & anodized labels for Sri Lanka travel shrink-wrapped on the pallet.

Questions
Metal & Anodized Labels in Sri Lanka — questions we are asked
Do you supply metal & anodized labels 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 metal & anodized labels for?
It varies. Sri Lanka orders are led by food and beverage labels, tea and spice labels, pharmaceutical labels, carton labels, and this range is quoted against whichever of those it fits.
Is there a minimum order for metal & anodized labels to Sri Lanka?
No fixed minimum for metal & anodized labels. 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.
Can you quote a small first run of metal & anodized labels for Sri Lanka?
Yes. Sri Lanka is not a volume market for this particular range, so a first run there is normally small and we quote it as such rather than pushing a minimum at you. The die and material code are kept on file either way.
