The Process prep & Quality
1. Receive & Clean
Bulk grain/pulse is delivered to the co-packer facility. The first processing step removes dust, stones, chaff, and other field impurities efficiently.
2. Sort & Grade
State-of-the-art optical machinery sorts the product precisely by size, color, density, and specific client quality standards.
3. Quality Check
Rigorous laboratory testing and visual inspections are conducted continuously to guarantee maximum food safety and premium grade.
The Process pack & ship
1. Package & Label
Product is filled into desired bag sizes (2lb, 4lb, 25kg, 50kg). Your brand or end-customer's custom label is accurately printed and applied.
2. Box & Palletize
Bags are meticulously packed into cartons or cases, which are then securely stretch-wrapped and palletized for maximum stability.
3. Ready for Shipment
Finished, secured pallets are prepared for safe warehouse storage, container loading, and immediate global distribution.
