Food Product Labels for export to Canada
Food Product Labels are among the lines we supply most into Canada, where food processing, beverage bottling and FMCG make up much of the industrial base.
Food Product Labels for Canada
Demand in Canada is built on food processing, beverage bottling, FMCG and retail. Food processing, beverage bottling 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 food product labels the question is always oil, moisture and chilling, all of which lift an ordinary adhesive. Canada conditions are manageable, which widens the material choice. The surface still decides the adhesive though — a chilled or oily pack in Canada needs the same care as anywhere else.
Bottled and canned lines run fast and wet, so the label has to register on a moving curved surface and then hold through pasteurising or chilling. The artwork is the easy half.
A Canada order for food product 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 Canada is food and beverage labels and cosmetic labels, so a food product labels enquiry from Canada is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to Montreal or Vancouver is the leg it travels, and a temperate destination is what the adhesive bond has to be specified against for Canada.
What Canada requires
Food labelling law is what governs this category here. In Canada that means Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, CFIA bilingual labelling, Nutrition Facts / Valeur nutritive in both languages, metric declarations. Language on pack: English and French, both mandatory.
We set food product labels artwork against those Canada requirements and proof it with your importer there before any plate or die is cut.
Getting it to Canada
Nhava Sheva to Montreal or Vancouver — 24 to 34 days. 34 days in a container is long enough for the hold to swing between damp nights and hot afternoons many times over. Landing into Canada, the usual complaint is not failure but curl at the liner edge, which becomes a storage question once the food product labels are off the ship.
In this range
Labels for packed food — jars, tins, pouches and wiped-down packs — 4 product lines in all.

Questions
Food Product Labels in Canada — questions we are asked
Do you supply food product labels in Canada?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Nhava Sheva to Montreal or Vancouver — 24 to 34 days.
What do Canada customers use food product labels for?
Food processing, beverage bottling and FMCG mainly. Food and beverage labels, cosmetic labels, consumer product labels, carton labels — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for food product labels to Canada?
No fixed minimum for food product labels. Canada consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller Canada run workable. Nhava Sheva to Montreal or Vancouver — 24 to 34 days.
How do Canada buyers usually order food product 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 Canada 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 Canada repeats.
