Specification
What to put in a beverages brief
A written brief is what partner factories pack against. Labelling for Australia and New Zealand is confirmed per brief. If you already have a specification, send that.
| Point | Why it matters | What to state |
|---|---|---|
| Range | Soft drinks and beer are not the same order. | Zero-alcohol, other drinks, or beer and lager for a licensed venue. |
| Licence | Alcohol is limited to licensed venues and trade buyers. | Confirm the buyer is a licensed venue or a trade buyer before beer or lager is briefed. |
| Pack | A cafe fridge, a vending channel and a keg cellar use different packs. | Can, bottle or keg, plus the size. |
| Private label | A venue label still has to match the licence rule on alcohol. | Your artwork, and whether the liquid contains alcohol. |
| Label | The panel has to match the sites you serve. | Label copy confirmed per brief for Australia and New Zealand, and minimum shelf life on arrival. |

From brief to delivery
How sourcing and samples work
You name the drink, the pack and whether the buyer is a licensed venue. Samples are arranged for the trade buyer. Partner factories pack the approved line, and Shiiv ships to the warehouse or distribution centre named on the order in Australia or New Zealand. The steps match how a chain brief works.

The approved spec and any venue artwork are locked in writing.

Why brief QSR Supplier
A clear split between soft drinks and beer

Licensed trade
Beer and lager are supplied only to licensed venues and trade buyers. We do not sell alcohol to the public or to anyone under 18.
Samples first
Samples come before any commitment, so the buyer signs off the liquid and the label.
Partner factories
The range is sourced through partner factories. Certifications on a line stay with the factory that holds them.
