Can I request just 1 sample in the envelope?
As per our company policy, we are unable to send individual samples as we have already available a sample pack which contains a wide variety of products in catalogue. However we can toss a single sample with a purchase.
Can I repack the products as they are?
Our products are dispatched packed with our private label and showing our valid certification logos. You are not allowed to repack any products as per organic and food regulations our products need to be sold to the final customer in their original packaging. You cannot add a different brand or any claim to our products. If you were to repack using your brand, by the organic standard you are not allowed to transfer our certification logos into your packing as you need to get your own certification as a Repacker/Relabeller. You need to contact ACO or any other certifier and get your certification under your company name.
