Cling Film for Nigeria — Chinese Factory, Lagos-Ready
SUNWRAP is a Korean-invested Chinese manufacturer of food-grade PVC cling film — one of China’s top-ten cling film brands, with 20+ years of production experience and 400M RMB of total investment behind the business. Our factory is 40 km from Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, with container services to Apapa and Tin Can Island in Lagos. For Nigerian importers searching cling film nigeria or cling film supplier nigeria, we supply jumbo master rolls, supermarket retail rolls, and HORECA catering rolls, all FDA-compliant food-grade PVC with a 2025 PE line.
Nigeria is one of the largest cling-film buyer-search markets in Africa, and organized retail plus an emerging cold-chain are lifting demand year on year. The lane is longer than Asia or the Middle East — 35–45 days Ningbo to Apapa — so our playbook for Nigerian buyers is built around full-container orders, L/C-friendly payment structures, and documentation that slots cleanly into Form M and SONCAP-side processes handled by your importer.
Why import cling film from China — the Nigerian perspective
Nigeria is Africa’s largest consumer economy, and demand for food-contact packaging is rising as organized retail (supermarket chains, modern-trade minimarkets) and cold-chain infrastructure develop around Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. Domestic production of cling film is limited, so Nigerian importers rely on imports — and China is the default source on price, availability and shipping capacity.
Search data confirms the demand: “cling film” gets 1,600 monthly Google searches in Nigeria — one of the largest buyer-search pools in Africa. What Nigerian importers typically need from a Chinese supplier:
- Jumbo master rolls for local converters who slit into retail SKUs
- Supermarket and retail roll formats for modern-trade chains
- HORECA catering rolls for hotels, restaurants and catering companies
- Clean export documentation that lines up with Form M, SONCAP and Nigerian bank requirements
Shipping Ningbo → Apapa / Tin Can Island
- Origin: Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, China
- Destination: Apapa or Tin Can Island, Lagos
- Transit time: 35–45 days sea freight
- Incoterms offered: FOB Ningbo, CIF Apapa, CIF Tin Can Island
- Container options: 20GP (~8–12 tonnes) or 40HQ for better lane economics
- HS code: 3920 (plastic plates, sheets, film, foil)
On a lane this long, full-container loads matter — freight cost per kilogram on a 40HQ is materially better than on an LCL shipment, and the longer transit is more easily absorbed by a larger order cycle.
Compliance for importing to Nigeria
Our export documentation package for Nigerian importers includes:
- Certificate of Origin (Form CO) from CCPIT
- Commercial invoice and packing list, formatted for Form M processing
- Bill of lading
- SGS or third-party food-contact test reports (migration, heavy metals) on request
- FDA-compliant food-contact material declarations
- English-language labeling on cartons and retail SKUs
SONCAP (Standards Organisation of Nigeria Conformity Assessment), Form M registration with your Nigerian bank, and NAFDAC-side food-contact requirements sit on the importer side. We coordinate with your Lagos customs broker and can provide extra documentation (product specifications, safety data) to support SONCAP processing.
Our product range for Nigerian buyers
- PVC cling film — supermarket and HORECA grade, high clarity, strong self-cling
- PE cling film — 2025 PE line for buyers who want a non-PVC alternative
- Jumbo rolls — master rolls for Nigerian converters and re-packers (the most freight-efficient SKU for the Apapa lane)
- Retail rolls and boxes — supermarket-ready SKUs with English printing
- Custom OEM — private-label retail boxes, co-branded packaging for Nigerian distributor brands
Payment terms
Given the longer transit and the Nigerian banking/FX environment, we structure payment conservatively:
- T/T 30% deposit + 70% against B/L copy — standard for repeat buyers and smaller orders
- L/C at sight — strongly preferred for larger orders and first-time buyers; fits Nigerian bank documentary practice and protects both sides
- Alibaba Trade Assurance — accepted for platform-originated orders
Minimum order
- Recommended for Nigeria: full 20GP or 40HQ container loads — freight economics on the Apapa lane favour larger shipments
- Standard catalog sizes: 500–1,000 kg MOQ is possible but less cost-effective per kilogram
- Custom OEM / printed boxes: one 20GP container minimum

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is shipping from China to Nigeria?+
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port to Apapa or Tin Can Island (Lagos) is approximately 35–45 days by sea freight. This is a longer lane than Asian or Middle East destinations, so we recommend larger order sizes and forward planning on replenishment.
What are your payment terms given the longer transit and Nigerian FX environment?+
T/T 30% deposit with 70% against B/L copy is our standard term. For larger orders and first-time buyers, we strongly prefer L/C at sight — it protects both sides and fits well with Nigerian bank documentary practice. Alibaba Trade Assurance is also accepted.
Do you ship to Apapa or Tin Can Island?+
Both — we quote CIF for either. Your Lagos customs broker will advise which terminal has better clearance flow for your container at the time of shipment.
What certifications do you provide for Nigerian customs?+
SGS food-contact test reports, Certificate of Origin from CCPIT, FDA-compliant material declarations, and commercial documentation formatted for SONCAP / Form M processes handled by your Nigerian importer.
What is the minimum order?+
For Nigeria we recommend full-container loads — a 20GP holds roughly 8–12 tonnes depending on roll specification, and a 40HQ gives better freight economics on the long Apapa lane. Smaller orders are possible but less cost-effective per kilogram.
