Briquette industry guide

Thinking of your own briquette brand? Understand the job first.

Guide first, maker second.

A guide for brand owners, distributors and new businesses in coconut charcoal briquettes: how contract making works, packing, quality figures that do not always match, export, and machine or contract maker. Kora is one of the producers discussed. MOQ, price and lead time always come in a written quotation from whichever maker you choose.

  1. Start here

    Brief

    Tell us shape, pack weight, brand or artwork, destination market and expected monthly volume. A short note is enough.

  2. Check it

    Samples

    The maker produces samples from your brief. Test the burn, the ash, the shape and the pack, then send notes back.

  3. Ask first

    Quotation

    MOQ, price, lead time and commercial terms are written down. Compare quotations from more than one maker.

  4. Go

    Production

    Production starts after you approve the samples and the quotation. Goods ship with the agreed documents.

About Kora: what is stated, and what is set at quotation

As one example of a producer: Kora's product pages say private label is available and that briquettes are pressed in-house. The rest is set at quotation.

  • Stated on Kora's product pages: private label available, grades A/B/C, packing in 1 kg and 10 kg master cartons, documents with each shipment (COA, phytosanitary, certificate of origin, packing list, B/L).
  • Set at quotation: MOQ, lead time, tooling cost, price and loading port.
  • Not published here: Kora's production capacity and certificates. Ask any maker, and ask for the answer in documents.
