FAQ
The baseline MOQ for regional distributors typically starts at 100 master packs or shrink-wrapped trays. For standard 100x120 cm pallets, buckets are layered with corrugated separator sheets up to 5 or 6 tiers high to prevent compression stress on base lids. For full refrigerated reefer loads (approximately 18 to 22 metric tons), buyers should consult Sabah's commercial logistics department via official channels to calculate maximum payload limits without breaking the cold seal.
Due to active lactic acid bacterial cultures and zero synthetic preservatives, maintaining an uninterrupted temperature of 1°C to 4°C is mandatory across the cold chain. Temperature spikes exceeding 7°C induce premature syneresis (whey separation) and sharp sensory acidity increases. In international trade routes, deploying calibrated temperature data loggers inside refrigerated containers is standard operating procedure.
For neighbouring export corridors (e.g., Iraq, Afghanistan, and regional Gulf destinations), batch production is strictly scheduled against confirmed dispatch manifests. Finished goods depart the factory within 24–48 hours of packaging to ensure arrival at destination customs with over 65% to 70% of shelf-life validity intact. Importers must pre-clear import documentations to minimize border customs dwell times.
Yes, all authorized trade consignments are accompanied by factory Certificates of Analysis covering titratable acidity, fat percentage, solids-not-fat (SNF), coliform counts, and antibiotic residue screening in incoming raw milk. For export shipments, bilingual health and sanitary clearance certificates certified by relevant Iranian veterinary and food control authorities are provided.
The containers are injection-molded from certified virgin food-grade polypropylene (PP) complying with international overall migration limit standards. The lid incorporates a tamper-evident tear strip and an airtight sealing rim, safeguarding product integrity against secondary environmental airborne contamination and accidental spills throughout warehouse logistics.
Through standardized dry matter and total solids protein optimization prior to fermentation, the casein micelle network exhibits solid gel elasticity. As the formulation avoids heavy artificial stabilizing gums, handling guidelines mandate minimizing severe vertical vehicle vibration during transit to maintain curd integrity and avoid surface whey separation.
For long-term annual supply contracts and full-container-load (FCL) commitments, customized bilingual in-mold labeling (IML) or adhesive printing (Arabic, English, Russian) can be reviewed against destination market regulatory requirements. For smaller threshold batches, export compliance is achieved via authorized localized over-labeling and lot coding.
