Is this a fit?

We ship pallets, not parcels.

Read this first, because it decides whether we can work together.

  • The minimum is one full pallet per product.
  • Shipping is by a full 20' or 40' container or a truck. Items can be mixed in the same container; each pallet carries one product.
  • We do not ship single parcels to end customers and do not offer a drop-shipping service.
  • Prices are FOB Mersin in USD. CIF to your port is calculated on request.

This suits online brands and marketplace sellers that import into their own warehouse or a fulfilment centre and sell from there.

What sells online

Products that photograph and ship well.

Online buyers choose from a picture and a product title, so clear formats help.

  • The pistachio cream and kadayif "Dubai" style bar, and other filled tablets and bars in 35 g, 95 g and 100 g. See chocolate.
  • 30% pistachio spread and 13% hazelnut cocoa spread in 200 g and 300 g glass jars.
  • Dragées with almond, hazelnut and pistachio, and freeze-dried strawberry and blackberry centres. See dragées.
  • Turkish delight, classic and premium.
  • Popping candy, caramels and jelly confectionery. See confectionery.

Compound and real chocolate options depend on the product. The offer states which one each item is, so your listing title and ingredients match the pack.

Listing data

Labels and data for your listings.

Wrong label data can get a listing rejected, so the label is fixed before production.

  • Destination-market labels prepared with you before production: EU Regulation 1169/2011, the FDA nutrition facts panel, EAC or other formats as required.
  • Artwork approved in writing before printing.
  • Ingredient, allergen and nutrition data from our product sheet. The lines handle milk, soya and tree nuts.
  • Lot code and production date on each product, for marketplace traceability and returns.
  • Carton and pallet data for your warehouse intake: see pallets.
Shelf life and heat

Plan around shelf life and summer heat.

Chocolate products have a 12-month shelf life from production; spreads 24 months.

Transit and inbound processing at a fulfilment centre take part of that window, so check whether your marketplace or fulfilment partner sets a minimum remaining shelf life at intake before you fix quantities. Chocolate must be stored at +4/+24 °C, dry. For summer shipments we recommend a reefer container, and you should confirm that your fulfilment partner can hold chocolate in that temperature range.

Pallets and containers

What a pallet means in units.

Use these figures to work out how many months of sales one pallet represents.

The mixed container page shows how several products share one load.

Your own brand

Private label for online brands.

Online brands often want their own packaging. Terms are set by the printing of the packaging, not by the kilos of product.

    Private label minimums depend on the packaging type; the figures are explained in the private label guide.

  • Products in printed carton boxes: roughly 100,000 units.

To test demand first, start with our own brand: one full pallet per product. See private label.

Questions

Questions from online sellers

Can you ship small quantities to my home or office?

No. The minimum is one full pallet per product, shipped in a full container or truck to your warehouse or fulfilment partner.

Can I sell your products under my own brand online?

Yes, under private label terms: for plastic packaging 1,000 kg of printed packaging material (roughly 250,000 doypack or 1,000,000 flowpack units), for carton boxes roughly 100,000 units. Packaging cost is added to the unit price.

How do I get samples for product photos?

Samples are paid and the courier cost is yours. The sample amount is deducted from your first order. See samples.

How long does an order take?

A written offer within two working days, then production 4–6 weeks after confirmation and 50% advance payment. The balance of 50% is paid before loading.
