Self-Adhesive Labels for export to Brazil
Self-Adhesive Labels are among the lines we supply most into Brazil, where food processing, FMCG and chemicals make up much of the industrial base.
Self-Adhesive Labels for Brazil
Demand in Brazil is built on food processing, beverage bottling, FMCG and chemicals. Food processing, FMCG and chemicals 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 self-adhesive labels the question is always facestock and adhesive chosen against the surface, the temperature and the applicator. Humidity is the constraint in Brazil. Lamination keeps the print from going soft, and an adhesive rated to 45°C keeps the corner from lifting before the pack reaches a Brazil shelf.
On food packs the adhesive sees the surface at its worst: cold, wet with condensate, sometimes lightly oiled from the filling line. A general-purpose permanent will grab and then lift at a corner two days later, which is why the wet-tack grade exists.
A Brazil order for self-adhesive 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 self-adhesive 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 adhesive bond has 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 self-adhesive 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 self-adhesive labels for Brazil travel shrink-wrapped on the pallet.

Questions
Self-Adhesive Labels in Brazil — questions we are asked
Do you supply self-adhesive 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 self-adhesive labels for?
Food processing, FMCG and chemicals 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 self-adhesive labels to Brazil?
No fixed minimum for self-adhesive 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 self-adhesive 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.
