Co-packing

The minimum order is 250 kg per SKU for pouches and 100 kg per SKU for all other packs. A SKU is one oil in one pack size, so each combination of oil and pack size that you choose must meet this minimum.

Each component is charged separately: the oil, per kg; the job work service; and any packing material that we supply. Coconut oil prices change daily, so a quote is valid only on the day it is given.

When the oil and the job work service are billed together as packed oil, GST is 5% on both. When the job work is billed separately, it attracts GST at 18%. Packing material that we supply is charged separately, with GST at 18% extra.

You supply the printed packing material (pouches, bottles, cans and labels) and deliver it to our facility at Puttur. We do not arrange printing from artwork. The material must be food grade, suitable for edible oil and match the specification we agree. It remains your property and is held at your risk, except for loss or damage caused by our negligence.

Unused material is collected by you, or returned at your cost, within 30 days after the arrangement ends.

We dispatch your order within 5 working days of order confirmation, provided your printed packing material has reached our facility. If the material arrives late, the dispatch is later by the same time.

Payment is 100% in advance, before production begins.

Delivery charges are extra and depend on the location and the size of the shipment, unless we agree otherwise.

We pack in line with FSSAI standards and under strict quality controls. Every batch is coded for traceability, and we keep a retention sample and the batch record, which we share with you on request. We encourage you to inspect and approve samples before bulk production begins.

Damage or leakage during transport is a matter between you and the transporter. Please check the goods when you receive them and note any damage or leakage on the delivery challan, so that you can claim from the transporter.

If a batch has to be recalled, we cooperate fully and provide the batch record and the retention sample. Each party bears the cost of a recall caused by its own act or default. Defects in the oil, or in packing at our facility, are ours. Defects in labels or packing material, or in storage and handling after delivery, are yours.

Our liability for a defective batch is limited to the invoice value of that batch. We are not liable for delays caused by incomplete inputs from you, label designs that do not comply, or third-party logistics.

Once the goods are supplied, expiry is your responsibility: stock rotation, storage and sale before expiry. This does not affect our responsibility for product that was defective when supplied. You fix the MRP and every selling price, and we have no role in them.

You own your brand, label and artwork. You are responsible for the label meeting FSSAI labelling requirements and the Legal Metrology packaged commodity rules, including your FSSAI licence number, the net quantity, the MRP and the best-before declaration. We can help you check it, but we pack under the label as supplied and are not liable for errors in it.

We will not supply your labels, artwork or branded packs to anyone else, and we will not distribute your branded products directly or through third parties. The arrangement is not exclusive: we remain free to market Cocoguru-branded products in all regions, including those where your brand is sold.

Each side keeps the other’s rates, specifications, artwork, formulations and customer details confidential, and uses them only for this supply.

Either side can end the arrangement with 15 days’ written notice by email. Orders confirmed before the end are completed and paid for as agreed.

Neither party is liable for a delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, such as natural calamity, strikes or government restrictions. Indian law applies, and any dispute is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts at Puttur, Karnataka.
