You met us at THAIFEX. You tried the samples. Now you need the full picture before placing an order.
This page covers private label basil seed drink programs, wholesale pricing structure, and the exact steps to move from sample approval to your first shipment. No filler. Just what buyers need to make a decision.

Why Buyers Choose Private Label Over Branded Wholesale

Buying an established brand is fast. Private label basil seed drink is smarter for margin.
When you distribute someone else’s brand, the manufacturer controls the shelf price. You compete on volume. Your margin is fixed.
A private label basil seed drink changes the equation. You own the brand name. You set the retail price. Your distributor network carries your product, not a competitor’s.
The entry barrier is lower than most buyers expect. A Vietnam-based OEM manufacturer can take you from formula selection to a market-ready SKU in 45 to 60 days.
For buyers who want branded wholesale supply first and private label basil seed drink later, both paths are available. The decision depends on your timeline and capital position.

Private Label Basil Seed Drink: What You Actually Get

A private label basil seed drink program at Interfresh includes the following as standard:
Formula selection from a proven range. No R&D cost. No stability testing investment. You choose from formulas with 18 to 24 month shelf-life data already on file. Common selections include lychee, strawberry, passion fruit, mango, and original (lightly sweetened) profiles.
Full custom branding on packaging. Your logo, your label design, your brand language. We produce to your artwork file. Minimum labeling setup time is 7 to 10 working days from approved print-ready file.
Market-specific compliance documentation. Every shipment includes COA, COO, Health Certificate, and applicable certification documents. FDA-registered facility for US-bound shipments. Halal-certified production runs available for GCC and Southeast Asian buyers.
Flexible order structure. Private label basil seed drink programs start from 1270 cartons on Glass bottle formats. Aluminium can basil seed drink starts from 2200 cartons. Trial orders on existing formulas can begin from 500 cartons with standard label customization.

Wholesale Basil Seed Drink: For Distributors Who Need Volume Now

Not every buyer is ready to launch a brand. Some need product on shelves this quarter.
Wholesale supply of Interfresh-branded basil seed drinks is available for distributors entering new markets. This is a faster path to first sale. It is also a useful tool to test consumer response before committing to a private label basil seed drink investment.
Wholesale pricing is structured by container volume. An FCL (Full Container Load) of 20-foot equivalent typically carries 2,000 to 2,500 cartons depending on packaging format. Pricing is quoted FOB Ho Chi Minh City.
For buyers comparing Vietnam OEM beverage sourcing options, wholesale programs reduce upfront commitment while maintaining the option to transition to private label basil seed drink on the second or third order cycle.

MOQ and Pricing Structure: What to Expect in 2026

Private label basil seed drink pricing from Vietnam depends on four variables: format, flavor, volume, and certification requirements. The table below covers reference ranges. Exact pricing is provided in your formal quote.
FormatMOQ (Cartons)Carton SizeNotes
Glass 290ml1,30024 bottlesMost popular for retail
Aluminum Can 330ml2,20024 cansPremium positioning
Tetra Pak 250ml5,00024 unitsEU and premium market preference
Tetra Pak 330ml5,00024 unitsGCC and ASEAN markets
Private label label setup is a one-time cost.
Halal certification is maintained throughout the entire production process for every private label basil seed drink order. The surcharge applies per production run, not per carton. Separate run scheduling applies when combining Halal-certified orders with standard production
If you are comparing costs across sourcing countries, the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) eliminates or significantly reduces import tariffs on processed beverage exports to EU member states. This gives Vietnam a structural pricing advantage over most competitor origins for European buyers.

The Private Label Process: From First Email to First Shipment

This is the sequence for a buyer starting from zero.
Week 1 to 2: Sample request and formula review. You request samples of your preferred flavors. We ship commercial samples within 5 to 7 working days. You share them with your internal team, retail buyer, or lab for testing.
Week 2 to 3: Formula confirmation and label brief. You confirm the formula. You submit your label design brief or existing artwork. We advise on any compliance adjustments needed for your target market.
Week 3 to 4: Sample approval and purchase order. You receive the label proof for approval. You confirm and issue the purchase order with deposit.
Week 5 to 6: Production scheduling. Your order enters the production queue. Lead time from PO confirmation to shipment-ready is 30 to 45 days for standard formulas.
Week 7 to 9: Production, QC, and shipping. Finished product is tested, packed, and a pre-shipment photo report is sent to you. We coordinate with your nominated freight forwarder for FCL booking.
The entire process from first email to product leaving port is typically 40-60 days for a new buyer. Repeat orders run on a 30 to 45 day cycle.

Post-THAIFEX Buyers: What Comes Next

If you visited the Interfresh booth at THAIFEX and collected samples, this section is for you.
The samples you received represent our standard commercial production quality. They are not showroom-only prototypes. The same formula and packaging are available for your first wholesale or private label basil seed drink order.
To move forward, you need three things:
First, confirm which flavors and formats match your distribution channel. Glass 290ml moves well in convenience retail. Aluminium 320ml and Tetra Pak 250ml suits premium grocery and food service. Larger formats serve bulk retail and online direct-to-consumer.
Second, share your target market and any regulatory requirements. This determines which certifications we include in your shipment documentation. Our OEM manufacturer page has a full breakdown of certification availability by market.
Third, request a formal quote. We issue an FOB price sheet within 2 working days of receiving your order brief.
There is no obligation attached to a quote request. Most buyers who request a quote at this stage have a sourcing decision to make within 30 to 60 days. We work on that timeline.

FAQs: Private Label and Wholesale Basil Seed Drink

Can I start with wholesale supply and move to private label later?
Yes. Many buyers use the first one or two orders as branded wholesale to validate market demand. Transitioning to private label on a subsequent order cycle is straightforward. The formula, quality standard, and supply terms remain identical. You add your brand onto the packaging.
How long does label artwork approval take?
From submission of your print-ready artwork file to approved label proof, the standard timeline is 5 to 7 working days. Rush processing is available within 3 days for post-THAIFEX orders placed before end of June 2026.
What payment terms are standard?
Standard terms for new buyers are 30% deposit on purchase order, with the 70% balance payable against copy of Bill of Lading. Established buyers with repeat order history may qualify for extended payment terms on a case-by-case basis.
Can I get exclusive distribution rights for my market?
Market exclusivity arrangements are available for buyers committing to minimum annual volumes. Terms are negotiated on a market-by-market basis. Contact us with your target market and projected annual volume to discuss.
What is the minimum order for a new flavor development?

Do you provide samples before I commit to a full order?
Yes. Commercial samples are available for all current flavors. Sample shipping cost is at the buyer’s account. Sample fees are credited on orders above 3,000 cartons. We recommend testing a minimum of three flavor options before finalizing your SKU selection.
Is your Halal certification accepted in the UAE and Saudi Arabia?
