Edible products: what a private-label food order actually involves

Food is a different business from hard goods. The unit economics depend on recipe, extrusion or baking parameters, and shelf life, and the regulatory burden sits on the label rather than the carton. This index covers what we produce under client recipes and client brands.

What buyers specify first

• Recipe ownership: bring your own formula, or ask for a base formula and adjust protein, fat and fibre targets.
• Shelf life and packaging format are decided together — a 12-month claim usually forces a barrier film or a can.
• Guaranteed analysis values must match the label; the batch certificate is what your market authority will ask for.
• Allergen and species suitability statements are checked at artwork stage, not after printing.

Compliance and documentation

Factory-level certification is held by our partner factories — BSCI-audited social compliance and FDA facility registration. Product-level reports are issued per order against the destination market: EU REACH, LFGB for food-contact items, CPSIA and ASTM F963 for the United States. Tell us the market at enquiry stage and the applicable test list goes into the quotation.

Food-contact and feed-registration requirements vary by market and are stricter than for accessories. Confirm the destination before artwork approval — a label reprint costs more than the entire compliance review.

Freight and cartons

Food is dense: a 20-foot container reaches its weight limit long before it is full. Freight is priced on gross weight, and pallet height is limited by the stackability of the case, not by the container.
