Chromo Labels for export to Thailand
Chromo Labels are among the lines we supply most into Thailand, where food processing, FMCG and retail make up much of the industrial base.
Chromo Labels for Thailand
Demand in Thailand is built on food processing, beverage bottling, FMCG and retail. Food processing, FMCG and retail 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 Thailand. Board takes up moisture and loses stiffness, so cartons going to Thailand 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 Thailand 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 Thailand is food and beverage labels and cosmetic labels, so a chromo labels enquiry from Thailand is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to Laem Chabang is the leg it travels, and a humid destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for Thailand.
Where this sits against Thailand rules
Which rules apply depends on what the label goes onto. The regime your importer works to in Thailand is Thai FDA registration and labelling, Thai-language declarations, nutrition labelling rules for packaged food — and the pack language is Thai mandatory on consumer goods. None of that is what you are specifying when you buy chromo labels, but it is what the rest of your Thailand consignment travels under, so it is worth knowing which of your items it catches and which it does not.
Getting it to Thailand
Nhava Sheva to Laem Chabang — 9 to 13 days. A 13-day sea leg is long enough that the container cycles through a full range of temperatures before it is opened. Landing into Thailand’s humid air, board and paper take up moisture fast once the doors open, so chromo labels for Thailand travel shrink-wrapped on the pallet.

Questions
Chromo Labels in Thailand — questions we are asked
Do you supply chromo labels in Thailand?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Nhava Sheva to Laem Chabang — 9 to 13 days.
What do Thailand customers use chromo labels for?
Food processing, FMCG and retail mainly. Food and beverage labels, cosmetic labels, packaging labels, barcode media — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for chromo labels to Thailand?
No fixed minimum for chromo labels. Thailand consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller Thailand run workable. Nhava Sheva to Laem Chabang — 9 to 13 days.
How do Thailand 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 Thailand 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 Thailand repeats.
