Offset Printing for export to Singapore
Offset Printing are among the lines we supply most into Singapore, where food processing and retail make up much of the industrial base.
Offset Printing for Singapore
Demand in Singapore is built on food processing, beverage bottling, electronics, retail and warehousing. Food processing and retail 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 offset printing the question is always registration held across a long run, and colour read against an approved target. Humidity is the constraint in Singapore. Board takes up moisture and loses stiffness, so cartons going to Singapore are run on a heavier caliper than the same job for a dry market.
Cartons and inserts are where offset still wins outright, because the text is small, the register has to be exact, and the run lengths are long enough to pay for plates.
A Singapore order for offset printing 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 Singapore is food and beverage labels and cosmetic labels, so a offset printing enquiry from Singapore is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to Singapore is the leg it travels, and a humid destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for Singapore.
Where this sits against Singapore rules
Which rules apply depends on what the label goes onto. The regime your importer works to in Singapore is Singapore Food Agency labelling rules, Health Sciences Authority for cosmetics and devices, weights and measures declarations — and the pack language is English. None of that is what you are specifying when you buy offset printing, but it is what the rest of your Singapore consignment travels under, so it is worth knowing which of your items it catches and which it does not.
Getting it to Singapore
Nhava Sheva to Singapore — 6 to 9 days. A 9-day sea leg is long enough that the container cycles through a full range of temperatures before it is opened. Landing into Singapore’s humid air, board and paper take up moisture fast once the doors open, so offset printing for Singapore travel shrink-wrapped on the pallet.
