Private-Label Frozen Food Supply, From Product to Pack
We help retailers and brands connect the frozen product with a pack that can be filled, sealed, approved, shipped and repeated. We confirm a suitable partner factory route, then coordinate product, artwork, label, sample and order milestones.
Product and pack feasibility coordinated together
Artwork and label versions kept identifiable
Launch and replenishment tied to approved references
A retail concept has to work as a frozen-food pack
The product and pack cannot be developed independently. Large or irregular pieces affect bag dimensions and fill behavior. Fine products can influence sealing-area cleanliness. A clear window may change material and artwork decisions. Several flavors or languages can multiply print quantities, approvals and inventory exposure.
Begin with frozen vegetables, fruits or mushrooms, then define product form, target net weight, pack style, destination and SKU count. If the product itself is still open, use our application route. We check which production facility route can support filling, sealing, coding and carton requirements before final artwork.
Private-label packing is coordinated for frozen products XMG supplies. Material, dimensions, print process, minimums, lead time and testing remain product-, facility- and order.

Resolve the physical pack before final artwork
This sequence reduces artwork rework. Explore the complete packing-options workflow, then confirm construction and testing with the proposed facility and supply route.
| Pack question | Input to provide | What is confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Product-to-pack fit | Product form, piece dimensions, target fill and presentation | Preliminary bag or container direction and practical fill considerations |
| Material route | Barrier, print, window, surface and market expectations | relevant material options and information still requiring supplier confirmation |
| Seal and handling | Frozen condition, transport, opening and shelf presentation needs | Trial or validation points for sealing, strength and pack handling |
| Coding area | Lot, date, traceability or other variable information | Reserved position, method and responsibility for variable data |
| Outer carton | Case count, dimensions, marks, retail or warehouse handling | Carton concept connected to the confirmed inner pack |
| SKU structure | Products, flavors, languages, designs and quantity per version | Print and production implications for the actual portfolio |
Use real pack references without exposing customer information
The following XMG-held materials are privacy-treated or neutral references for pack, label and artwork review. We connect the approved version to the product, market and production order before release.

Real packaging reference with customer-sensitive information removed. It shows pack context, not a public customer endorsement.
Real privacy-treated pack reference. Product, material, print and market scope are not transferable to another order.
Keep dieline, artwork, label data and sample status connected
Concept record
Capture product, target fill, pack style, market, languages, SKU count and target launch.
Feasibility version
Confirm the working dieline or dimensions, material direction, coding area and known production constraints.
Artwork handoff
Buyer supplies editable files and approved content. File name, date and version owner remain identifiable.
Content review
Check product identity, net content, storage, origin wording, languages, barcode area and required statements with responsible parties.
Physical or print sample
Define whether the sample checks appearance, material, sealing, fill or all of these. Record the sample stage through our specification and approval workflow.
Production approval
Link the final authorized artwork and pack reference to the confirmed product, facility, quantity and schedule.
Replenishment check
Reconfirm current product and pack availability and route material revisions through approval before repeat production.
Plan the commercial decisions that artwork alone cannot solve
Print and production quantities
MOQ can be driven by product, film or bag printing, carton, label, facility and SKU structure. We confirm the relevant constraint rather than quoting one universal number.
Launch schedule
Typical production lead time is 7–21 calendar days after order confirmation. Order confirmation follows written approval of the specification, packing or artwork, purchase order and agreed payment milestone. Ocean transit and destination customs clearance are excluded. Artwork development, packaging-material preparation and pack trials are planned before production starts. We confirm the launch schedule after reviewing product availability, print requirements and quantity.
Regulatory ownership
The buyer or designated market expert gives final legal label approval. We coordinate available product and facility information and align the required destination and export-document inputs before shipment.
Barcode and variable data
Static artwork, barcodes and lot or date coding need clear owners and reserved areas. The approved files must match the selected printing and coding method.
Sample meaning
A digital proof checks layout, a printed film or bag checks appearance, and a filled sample can check presentation and handling. One stage should not be mistaken for another.
Portfolio changes
A new product, fill, language, artwork or market creates a new controlled version and may change quantity, feasibility and timing. For multi-SKU import planning, continue with our importer and distributor solution.
Carry the approved product-and-pack baseline into the next order
Approved product
Keep the specification and sample reference identifiable, including product form and visible acceptance fields.
Approved artwork
Use one authorized print file with an owner, version and date; archive superseded versions away from production use.
Approved pack
Record relevant material, dimensions, fill, seal or trial status and outer-carton reference.
Order record
Connect SKU quantity, facility, production and shipment details to the correct product and pack versions.
Change check
Review any change in raw material, facility, construction, print, claims, code or market content before release.
Reorder brief
Start from the previous approved references, then provide new quantities, destination and required delivery window.

How Many SKUs Should a First Private Label Frozen Food Range Include
The right first range depends on what each SKU can sell and what it takes to supply it. Review product and pack versions, per-item demand, packaging commitments and approval readiness, then decide which candidates belong in the first shipment.

Can XMG supply private-label frozen food from China?
Yes. We coordinate private-label projects for frozen fruits, vegetables and mushrooms with suitable partner factories, subject to product, specification, pack, artwork, label, quantity, destination and schedule confirmation.
What should be confirmed before artwork is finalized?
Confirm the product and visible form, target fill, working pack dimensions or dieline, material direction, coding area, market, languages and SKU plan. These inputs reduce the risk of redesign after feasibility review.
Who is responsible for legal label approval?
The buyer or its designated market expert remains responsible for final legal compliance. XMG can coordinate available product and facility information and review practical production inputs, but we do not replace destination-market legal approval.
What is the difference between a digital proof and a filled sample?
A digital proof primarily checks layout and content placement. A printed material sample checks print appearance. A filled sample can also support presentation, sealing and handling review. The purpose and limitations of each stage should be recorded.
Can you publish a fixed MOQ for custom packaging?
No. Product quantity, film or bag print minimum, carton, label, facility, SKU count and design versions can each become the limiting factor. We confirm the relevant driver after reviewing the actual project.
Can several products share one private-label program?
Yes, but each product and artwork version keeps its own specification, feasibility result, sample status and quantity. Shared branding does not make materials or production routes identical.
How are repeat private-label orders protected from old artwork?
We keep the approved artwork file, pack reference and product specification identifiable and require revisions to move through a new approval point. Reorders should cite the current authorized versions and new quantities and timing.
Start with the product, target pack and launch market
Send the product and form, target fill, pack reference, market, languages, artwork status, quantity by SKU and launch window. We will identify the feasibility checks and approval stages before quotation.
