Packaging for Singapore
Singapore is a regional hub for premium consumer brands, gifting and e-commerce across Southeast Asia. Corporate gifts, festive hampers for Lunar New Year and Mid-Autumn, and premium beauty are strong categories, and packaging quality is closely judged.
Many Singapore brands distribute into Malaysia, Indonesia and beyond, so we often plan packaging systems that adapt to several ASEAN markets.
Singapore buyers often compare packaging suppliers across the region and expect clear specifications, reliable timelines and consistent quality across repeat orders. We supply specification sheets, keep approved proofs on record and plan repeat production well ahead of festive peaks.
Designed for Singapore
Layouts planned for English text and local labelling, with first concepts usually within 48 hours.
Made in our own factory
Rigid and printed boxes from 500 units, with a digital proof and 3D mockup before print.
Shipped to Singapore
By air for speed or by sea for volume, assembled or flat-packed.
Labelling and compliance
Labelling in Singapore
Food labelling in Singapore is regulated by the SFA under the Food Regulations, with English as the language for mandatory information. Cosmetics and health products fall under the HSA, and the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive shapes cosmetic labelling.
Last reviewed: 28 October 2026
- Mandatory label information in English.
- Food labels include ingredients, net quantity, date marking and the name and address of the local importer or distributor for imported foods.

- Cosmetics follow ASEAN Cosmetic Directive labelling and notification.
- Metric units for net quantity.
- Health claims on food and supplements are restricted and may need prior approval, so check every claim with your adviser.
