Saffron is considered one of the most precious and valuable spices in the world, and Iran, thanks to its saffron’s extraordinary aroma, bright golden color, and superior quality, is regarded as one of the leading countries in the production and export of this red gold. Our company guarantees quality and is ready to supply and offer the finest Iranian saffron at wholesale prices, suitable for export to international markets.

Wholesale Price of Saffron and Export Costs from Iran

Thanks to reliable supply capacity, access to skilled labor, and cost‑effective processing and packaging, the price of Iranian saffron enjoys a strong competitive advantage compared to many exporting countries. This advantage makes Iranian saffron an economical, reliable, and profitable choice for importers in international markets as well as domestic buyers.

It should be noted that the prices listed in the table below refer only to the product itself. All costs related to transportation, insurance, and other incidental expenses shall be borne by the buyer according to the terms of the contract.

Saffron Packaging Specifications for Wholesale and Export from Iran

At Bonakchee Company, we execute the bulk  packaging process with engineering precision and the highest level of flexibility. This approach guarantees the complete preservation of the product’s quality, aroma, and flavor throughout transportation, ensuring full compliance with all global market requirements. To directly meet your demands and align with the specifications of each market, we have designed and finalized the packaging structure into three main categories.

Packaging Weight:

The packaging weight of saffron is determined with full flexibility and in proportion to your order volume; ranging from light, low-weight packaging to heavy packages and bulk shipments with higher weights. The weight of saffron packages is designed and selected in a way that ensures maximum efficiency in the processes of sales, storage, transportation, and supply to your target market.

If required, customization of the packaging weight based on the standards of the destination market is available upon your request.

Packaging Design:

Saffron packaging plays a vital role in preserving product quality, enhancing brand image, and meeting the expectations of international markets. Choosing the right packaging material not only protects saffron during transportation but also increases its commercial value in export destinations. Below are the most common saffron packaging types used for export, along with their advantages and limitations.

1. Saffron Packaging in Glass Containers

Packaging saffron in glass containers is considered one of the most luxurious and elegant methods for presenting this valuable product to the market. These containers are available in various shapes and sizes and can be easily decorated with attractive and colorful labels to capture customers’ attention. In addition to their visual appeal, glass containers offer significant benefits, including excellent preservation of saffron quality due to glass being impermeable to moisture, light, and air. Moreover, glass packaging is often used for gift sets and promotional purposes.

However, this type of packaging also has certain drawbacks. The cost of glass packaging is higher compared to alternatives such as cardboard or plastic, and due to its fragility, there is a higher risk of damage during transportation. Therefore, producers should carefully consider their target market and shipping costs before selecting glass packaging.

2. Saffron Packaging in Polycrystal Containers

Polycrystal packaging is an attractive and durable option for saffron export. Its high transparency, which clearly showcases the rich color of saffron, significantly enhances the product’s visual appeal and is one of its main advantages. These containers are lightweight, impact-resistant, and moisture-resistant, helping to maintain saffron quality during transportation. Additionally, polycrystal containers are easy to design and label, making them highly suitable for branding and marketing purposes.

3. Saffron Packaging in Wooden Containers

Wooden containers are one of the most premium and distinctive packaging options for saffron export. They create a stylish and natural appearance that conveys a sense of authenticity and high quality. Wooden packaging offers good resistance to physical damage and helps protect saffron against moisture and temperature fluctuations. This type of packaging is particularly suitable for luxury markets and gift-oriented products.

On the downside, higher production costs, heavier weight compared to other packaging types, and the possibility of damage during transportation due to the fragile nature of wood are among the main disadvantages of wooden containers.

4. Saffron Packaging in Cardboard Boxes

Cardboard packaging is one of the most common methods used for exporting saffron to wholesale markets and commercial consumers. This type of packaging is typically designed as rectangular or cubic boxes with attractive designs and high-quality color printing. Cardboard packaging is especially suitable for medium to larger quantities (for example, from 10 grams up to 1 kilogram). Its main advantages include cost-effectiveness, ease of transportation, simple printing of brand and product information, and recyclability.

However, cardboard packaging also has limitations, such as low resistance to moisture and vulnerability to damage under harsh transportation conditions. Therefore, in humid regions or challenging shipping environments, using cardboard alone may not be sufficient.

5. Metal Packaging for Saffron

Metal packaging is particularly suitable for exporting saffron in larger quantities and for commercial or industrial markets. These packages are usually designed as metal tins with secure lids that protect saffron from physical damage and unfavorable environmental conditions. Metal effectively prevents the penetration of air, moisture, and light, ensuring long-term preservation of product quality. In addition, metal packaging enhances security, reduces the risk of tampering or fraud, and offers high resistance to impact.

Nevertheless, metal packaging has some drawbacks, including relatively higher weight and higher production costs compared to cardboard or plastic packaging. In certain markets, there may also be concerns related to recycling or the environmental impact of metal materials. Overall, this type of packaging is recommended for bulk exports and specific target markets.

Customer-Specific Labeling:

We guarantee that the labeling of every package will be performed accurately and in accordance with all legal and commercial requirements of the destination country. This includes the precise inclusion of technical information, production and expiry dates, the official language of the target market, and your brand’s visual identity (logo). With this complete and comprehensive labeling carried out, your product will be fully prepared for direct entry onto the sales shelves at the destination.

This document, prepared by accredited and expert laboratories, serves as formal confirmation of the product’s quality, safety, and integrity.

Shipping and Dispatch Methods for Bulk Iranian Saffron Orders

Bonakchee Company offers four primary transportation methods for the export of Iranian Saffron: Road (Land), Sea, Air, and Multimodal (Combined) transport. Each option has specific advantages in terms of transit time, cost efficiency, and shipment security, allowing customers to select the most suitable method based on destination requirements and order volume.

1.Land Transport:

This method is highly suitable for exports to neighboring countries, offering relatively fast delivery at an economical cost. In certain cases, shipment via the seaports of neighboring countries is also available, further improving transit speed and overall shipment security.

2.Sea Freight:

An economical and reliable solution for long-distance destinations with sea access. Although transit time is longer, sea freight provides stable conditions that help preserve product quality while enabling large-volume shipments at competitive costs.

3.Air Freight:

The fastest transportation option, ideal for urgent or time-sensitive Saffron orders. While it involves higher freight costs, air transport ensures minimal transit time and maximum preservation of product quality.

4.Combined Transport (Sea + Land/Rail):

A practical solution for destinations accessible by both sea and land or rail. This multimodal approach effectively balances cost and delivery time while maintaining the integrity and quality of the Saffron throughout the shipping process.

Shipment Lead Time for Bulk Saffron Orders from Iran

Preparation of the order requires an estimated 10 to 15 working days; this period is subject to the specific order volume and particular processing demands. Furthermore, the total delivery timeline is not fixed, as it depends directly on the selection of a transport mode—be it Land, Sea, Air, or Combined—and the logistical profile of the ultimate destination.

Land transport is typically the fastest option for domestic shipments and exports to neighboring countries. Sea and Multimodal transport usually require longer transit times due to extended shipping distances and logistical coordination. Air freight remains the fastest shipping solution, with delivery generally completed within 3 to 4 working days.

Ultimately, the exact shipment lead time depends on the chosen mode of transportation and the destination country’s logistics and customs procedures.
