The full list with reference numbers: dragées.
How are the dragées made?
Centres — nuts, freeze-dried fruit, jelly or biscuit — are coated layer by layer in rotating pans with sugar, compound and chocolate, then polished. Every unit passes a metal detector; each batch carries a lot code and production date on the pack and the carton. Where a line is coated with compound rather than chocolate, the technical data sheet says so. The line in detail: how we produce.
How are dragées packed?
Bulk 2–3 kg cartons or bags for repacking and confectioners — 36 cartons of 3 kg boxes make a 648 kg pallet; 80 g and 120 g doypacks and 80 g window pyramids for the shelf; gift boxes. Chocolate-coated dragées can travel in a reefer in the warm months on request.
Can the doypacks carry my brand?
Yes. Printed doypack film is produced by weight: at least 1,000 kg per design, roughly 250,000 doypacks. Printed cartons start at about 100,000 units. Packaging cost is added to the unit price; label content comes from our technical data sheet and artwork is approved before printing. Details: private label.
What are the minimum and the terms?
One full pallet per product, mixed with chocolate, lokum and spreads in one container or truck. A written offer in US dollars within two working days, FOB Mersin, CIF on request. Payment 50% with the order and 50% before loading, by bank transfer. Samples from running production, free of charge; courier at your cost, deducted from the order.
