Custom Retail Packaging Exporter & Exporters serving Nigeria

Ocean freight shipments from our international manufacturing facilities to Apapa Port or Tin Can Island Port in Lagos generally take between 20 to 28 ocean transit days depending on the ocean carrier route. Our export logistics team provides complete B2B export documentation—including Commercial Invoices, Clean Bill of Lading (B/L), Packing Lists, Certificates of Analysis (CoA), and SONCAP compliance paperwork required by Nigerian Customs and NAFDAC clearance agencies.

Standard corrugated boxes absorb moisture when exposed to 80%+ relative humidity, resulting in structural wall buckling during prolonged port demurrage or non-climate-controlled warehouse storage. We counter this by applying specialized hydrophobic aqueous dispersion barrier coatings and utilizing high-density virgin Kraftliner (KL) outer facing plies paired with wet-strength adhesive glues. This engineered formulation keeps Edge Crush Test (ECT) ratings stable under tropical stress.

For standard customized folding cartons and e-commerce mailers, our MOQ starts at 5,000 units. For specialized heavy-duty corrugated fruit export boxes, beverage 6-pack carriers, or barrier-lined trays, MOQs are typically structured around full container loads (20ft FCL or 40ft High Cube FCL) to maximize freight efficiency and lower per-unit landed costs for West African importers. Low MOQ trial runs are available for qualifying strategic accounts.

Yes. All paperboards intended for direct food contact—such as Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) and grease-resistant folding food boxes—are manufactured using 100% virgin fibers in US-FDA and EU food-contact compliant facilities. We use low-migration, vegetable-based water printing inks free from heavy metals, fulfilling all safety benchmarks required by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in Nigeria.
