Chromo Labels for Kolkata
Demand in Kolkata is built on tea packing and export, jute and leather goods, engineering and food processing. Food processing draws on this range, though it sits alongside rather than ahead of the lines listed below. Chromo Labels are quoted per job for Kolkata rather than against a price break, so a smaller run is normal work there.
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 Kolkata. Board takes up moisture and loses stiffness, so cartons going to Kolkata 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.
When chromo labels are ordered from Kolkata they come against a seasonal pack calendar, the same way the rest of that trade buys. What already moves from our floor to Kolkata is tea carton and pouch labels and export shipper labels, so a chromo labels enquiry from Kolkata is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. It goes out by road — 1,500 km — and a humid destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for Kolkata.

Questions
Chromo Labels in Kolkata — questions we are asked
Do you supply chromo labels in Kolkata?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Road, 1,500 km — 3 to 4 working days.
What do Kolkata customers use chromo labels for?
Food processing mainly. Tea carton and pouch labels, export shipper labels, leather goods branding, barcode media — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
What is the lead time for chromo labels to Kolkata?
Road, 1,500 km — 3 to 4 working days. On top of that allow for proofing: chromo labels artwork for Kolkata is approved digitally before any plate or die is cut, and on a repeat Kolkata order that step drops away because the die is already on file.
How do Kolkata 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 Kolkata 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 Kolkata repeats.
