How it works

Tell us the products and the market. Which items, which pack sizes, and that they are going to Ethiopia. Labelling rules and buyer taste differ market to market.
We quote. Ex Works, in US dollars, per piece, at the quantity you give us.
Artwork and packing. You send your logo and label artwork, or we help you build it. The bottle, tube, jar, cap, label and carton are confirmed before anything is printed.
Samples. Development samples are produced against the agreed brief so you can approve texture, fragrance and pack before a full run. Sample development is charged, and the charge is credited in full against your first production order.
Production and shipping. We manufacture, pack and prepare the export documents for your clearing agent at destination.

Minimum order

3,000 units per product. Different products can be combined in one shipment, so a first order to Ethiopia usually carries three to five products rather than one. There is no minimum on how many different products you take.
