- Dry snacks/spices: laminated pouches or doy packs with oxygen/moisture barriers.
- Oily/hot-fill: check heat resistance and seal integrity.
- Beverages/canned goods: metal closures/cans (Avon); crates/rigids for logistics (Shongai Packaging). (shongaipackaging.com)
- Print & branding
Confirm colour management and print method (flexo, rotogravure, digital), MOQ, lead times, and artwork dielines. - Sustainability
Ask about recycled content, recyclability markings, and take-back/recycling partnerships (e.g., Nigerian carton recycling initiatives with Onward Paper Mill & Tetra Pak). (Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission, Vanguard News) - Logistics & service
Proximity matters for freight costs and speed. Lagos/Ogun clusters serve the Southwest; Kano serves the North.
