worgeordie Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Thailand is a major producer of sugar,why would you want to import it ? I am sure you could find a manufacturer here that would package in sachets with your artwork if the quantity warranted it, regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually hoping to get some info more on the lines of if it was possible and if not why not? I have generally found when doing business that you are more likely to be successful if you give people what they want or like rather than what you think is more convenient for you. 40 minutes ago, bazza73 said: Buy a rubber stamp with your own logo and get to work.

I don't even know where to start with an attitude like that???? I may be wrong but it would seem that you think professionalism is only for large hotel chains and should not be pursued by pissing little coffee shops. I assume you are not in any kind of service venture here then? Edited March 16, 2017 by phuketjock addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) ... and on Amazon (UK) https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_pg_1?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Apersonalised+sugar+sachets&keywords=personalised+sugar+sachets&ie=UTF8&qid=1489673540 scroll to the bottom of the page for more choices. Looks like the cost will be around 15 -18 pence a piece for orders of 1,000, which seems pretty pricey.

I will have a look at your other links again thanks for the pointers. I probably should have been a bit more explicit in my op I was hoping for some info on importing and tariffs etc. if there are any such charges? Is it ok to import sugar or not?

Could you not just ask them to send a small amount over in a dummy run so to speak? they don't even have to be personalized, see if they are pulled up for whatever reason? if they are then you have lost a small amount on postage and packaging.

champers Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Is 10,000 a high quantity? At 100 sachets per day; as an example; that is 3 months supply. For printed material the initial set-up costs inflate the unit price. This falls if more units are ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not seem very high but you need to double it for white and brown sugar so in reality the minimum is 20,000. You are a bit off on our daily consumption we would love to have 100 sachets a day flying off the shelf but it is less than half that in the real world, 30 to 40.

chickenslegs Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 This Thai company produces personalised packages http://www.srithaifood.co.th/eng/product_seasoning_04.php Customers seem to be big chains - but could be worth a phone call. Another Indian company ... http://www.wrapperindia.com/packaging-sachet.html The cost of these personalised sachets/tubes seems prohibitively high for a small business (not that I am any sort of business expert). How about naming the coffee shop Tate & Lyles - or some other name that is already printed on readily available sachets/tubes - I'm only half joking.
