Private Label Makhana: MOQ, Packaging and Labelling Guide for Brands
MOQ, pack format and label details decide how smoothly a private label makhana launch goes. Here is what brands should settle before placing the first order.
For private label makhana, the minimum order depends on the product, pack size and printing method, so it is confirmed in writing before you order. Domestic bulk phool makhana starts at 100 kg and export air trial orders start from 8 kg. Packaging can be retail pouches, 10 kg bulk bags or master cartons, and every label must be checked for FSSAI or destination-country rules.
How is MOQ decided for private label makhana?
There is no single MOQ for every private label product. It depends on three things: the product (phool, roasted, powder or kheer premix), the pack size, and whether the pouch is printed with your artwork. Ask for the MOQ and lead time in the quotation so both are written down before production starts.
Packaging options
| Format | Details | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Retail pouches | Stand-up and flat pouches in sizes you choose, printed with your artwork; nitrogen-flushed packs available | Shelf and e-commerce sales |
| Bulk packing | 10 kg PP bag, two layer | Repacking by your own team |
| Master cartons | Retail packs packed in cartons | Distribution and shipping |
What must a makhana label carry?
- Product name and net weight
- Ingredient list and nutrition table
- FSSAI licence details for products sold in India
- Barcode and batch code for traceability
- Destination-country labelling for exports
You can share finished artwork or use the manufacturer's design support. Always approve the final artwork before printing.
Grade and moisture decide pack quality
Pack look depends on kernel size. Bold grades such as 5 Sutta+ and 6 Sutta+ suit premium retail packs, while 4 Sutta+ suits value packs. Standard moisture is 8 to 11%, with 5% available on request. Compare sizes on our makhana grades page.
