Chromo Labels for export to Brazil
Chromo Labels are among the lines we supply most into Brazil, where food processing and FMCG make up much of the industrial base.
Chromo Labels for Brazil
Demand in Brazil is built on food processing, beverage bottling, FMCG and chemicals. Food processing and FMCG 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 Brazil. Board takes up moisture and loses stiffness, so cartons going to Brazil 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 Brazil 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 Brazil is food and beverage labels and cosmetic labels, so a chromo labels enquiry from Brazil is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to Santos is the leg it travels, and a humid destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for Brazil.
Where this sits against Brazil rules
Which rules apply depends on what the label goes onto. The regime your importer works to in Brazil is ANVISA registration, RDC 429 front-of-pack nutrition labelling, INMETRO requirements for some goods, Portuguese declarations — and the pack language is Portuguese mandatory. None of that is what you are specifying when you buy chromo labels, but it is what the rest of your Brazil consignment travels under, so it is worth knowing which of your items it catches and which it does not.
Getting it to Brazil
Nhava Sheva to Santos — 28 to 38 days. 38 days in a container is long enough for the hold to swing between damp nights and hot afternoons many times over. Landing into Brazil’s humid air, board and paper take up moisture fast once the doors open, so chromo labels for Brazil travel shrink-wrapped on the pallet.

Questions
Chromo Labels in Brazil — questions we are asked
Do you supply chromo labels in Brazil?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Nhava Sheva to Santos — 28 to 38 days.
What do Brazil customers use chromo labels for?
Food processing and FMCG mainly. Food and beverage labels, cosmetic labels, industrial labels, carton labels — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for chromo labels to Brazil?
No fixed minimum for chromo labels. Brazil consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller Brazil run workable. Nhava Sheva to Santos — 28 to 38 days.
How do Brazil 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 Brazil 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 Brazil repeats.
