Food Product Labels for export to Egypt
Food Product Labels are among the lines we supply most into Egypt, where food processing and FMCG make up much of the industrial base.
Food Product Labels for Egypt
Demand in Egypt is built on food processing, pharmaceuticals, FMCG and brand protection. 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 food product labels the question is always oil, moisture and chilling, all of which lift an ordinary adhesive. Heat is the constraint in Egypt. An adhesive specified for a temperate warehouse creeps at Egypt summer temperatures, so we specify to the temperature the pack will actually see there.
Where a plant runs both food and pharmaceutical lines, the food labels still get the tighter of the two date-coding disciplines, simply because the same operators and the same coder are used on both.
A Egypt 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 Egypt is food labels and pharmaceutical labels, so a food product labels enquiry from Egypt is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to Alexandria or Port Said is the leg it travels, and a hot and dry destination is what the adhesive bond has to be specified against for Egypt.
What Egypt requires
Food labelling law is what governs this category here. In Egypt that means GOEIC registration, Egyptian Organization for Standardization marking, Arabic labelling, halal for meat products. Language on pack: Arabic mandatory.
We set food product labels artwork against those Egypt requirements and proof it with your importer there before any plate or die is cut.
Getting it to Egypt
Nhava Sheva to Alexandria or Port Said — 10 to 14 days. A 14-day sea leg is long enough that the container cycles through a full range of temperatures before it is opened. Landing into Egypt’s heat, an adhesive specified at Indian room temperature is close to its working limit on the day the food product labels arrive.
In this range
Labels for packed food — jars, tins, pouches and wiped-down packs — 4 product lines in all.

Questions
Food Product Labels in Egypt — questions we are asked
Do you supply food product labels in Egypt?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Nhava Sheva to Alexandria or Port Said — 10 to 14 days.
What do Egypt customers use food product labels for?
Food processing and FMCG mainly. Food labels, pharmaceutical labels, packaging labels, security holograms — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for food product labels to Egypt?
No fixed minimum for food product labels. Egypt consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller Egypt run workable. Nhava Sheva to Alexandria or Port Said — 10 to 14 days.
How do Egypt 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 Egypt 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 Egypt repeats.

Send the pack, the quantity and the market it ships to. We come back with a specification, a price and a lead time.
