Offset Printing for export to Vietnam
Offset Printing are among the lines we supply most into Vietnam, where food processing, FMCG and garments make up much of the industrial base.
Offset Printing for Vietnam
Demand in Vietnam is built on food processing, FMCG, garments and electronics. Food processing, FMCG and garments 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 Vietnam. Board takes up moisture and loses stiffness, so cartons going to Vietnam are run on a heavier caliper than the same job for a dry market.
On consumer cartons the colour has to match across every SKU in the family and across reprints months apart, which is a proofing and ink-management discipline rather than a press one.
A Vietnam 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 Vietnam is food and FMCG labels and garment care labels, so a offset printing enquiry from Vietnam is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. Nhava Sheva to Hai Phong or Cat Lai is the leg it travels, and a humid destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for Vietnam.
Where this sits against Vietnam rules
Which rules apply depends on what the label goes onto. The regime your importer works to in Vietnam is Decree 43 on goods labelling, Ministry of Health registration for food and cosmetics, origin and responsible-importer declarations — and the pack language is Vietnamese mandatory. None of that is what you are specifying when you buy offset printing, but it is what the rest of your Vietnam consignment travels under, so it is worth knowing which of your items it catches and which it does not.
Getting it to Vietnam
Nhava Sheva to Hai Phong or Cat Lai — 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 Vietnam’s humid air, board and paper take up moisture fast once the doors open, so offset printing for Vietnam travel shrink-wrapped on the pallet.

Questions
Offset Printing in Vietnam — questions we are asked
Do you supply offset printing in Vietnam?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Nhava Sheva to Hai Phong or Cat Lai — 10 to 14 days.
What do Vietnam customers use offset printing for?
Food processing, FMCG and garments mainly. Food and FMCG labels, garment care labels, electronics labels, carton labels — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
Is there a minimum order for offset printing to Vietnam?
No fixed minimum for offset printing. Vietnam consignments are quoted per job and usually consolidated with the other lines going the same way, which is what makes a smaller Vietnam run workable. Nhava Sheva to Hai Phong or Cat Lai — 10 to 14 days.
How do Vietnam buyers usually order offset printing?
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 Vietnam 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 Vietnam repeats.
