Chromo Labels for export to United States
Chromo Labels are among the lines we supply most into the USA, where food processing, FMCG and retail make up much of the industrial base.
Chromo Labels for United States
Demand in the USA is built on food processing, FMCG, retail, engineering and electronics. Food processing, FMCG 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 chromo labels the question is always a one-side-coated paper that takes ink well but needs care in damp storage. USA conditions are manageable, so the job turns on registration and colour consistency across the run rather than on the substrate surviving the climate there.
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.
The USA orders for chromo labels arrive 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 the USA is food and supplement labels and cosmetic labels, so a chromo labels enquiry from the USA is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to New York, Savannah or Los Angeles is the leg it travels, and a temperate destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for the USA.
Where this sits against the USA rules
Which rules apply depends on what the label goes onto. The regime your importer works to in the USA is FDA 21 CFR Part 101 food labelling, Nutrition Facts panel format, FSMA requirements, FTC origin marking, Proposition 65 warnings for California — and the pack language is English. None of that is what you are specifying when you buy chromo labels, but it is what the rest of your the USA consignment travels under, so it is worth knowing which of your items it catches and which it does not.
Getting it to the USA
Nhava Sheva to New York, Savannah or Los Angeles — 22 to 32 days. 32 days in a container is long enough for the hold to swing between damp nights and hot afternoons many times over. Landing into United States, the usual complaint is not failure but curl at the liner edge, which becomes a storage question once the chromo labels are off the ship.
