A trustworthy table or sachet water brand prints a valid **NAFDAC registration number** directly on the sachet or bottle. NAFDAC regulates packaged water in Nigeria, so a visible registration number is your first check before buying — whether you are a household, an event planner or a wholesale buyer. Beyond the number, look for clean, well-sealed packaging, a legible batch and date, and a manufacturer you can identify and contact. Chrismatel table water, for example, carries **NAFDAC Reg. No. 01-5406**, printed on every bag and bottle, and is produced at a known, NAFDAC-certified facility in Ibusa, Delta State. ## Sachet vs bottled — which format, and why NAFDAC-certified Nigerian drinking water comes in two main packaged formats, each suited to a different use: - Sachet ("pure") water — 50cl. The ubiquitous, affordable everyday format sold at kiosks, supermarkets, schools, bus parks and events. It is the single highest-volume FMCG format in Nigerian retail. Chrismatel sachet water is a 50cl sachet, typically packed 20 sachets to a bag. - Bottled table water — 50cl, 75cl, 1.5L. The format for hotels, restaurants and cafés (HORECA), corporate offices, events and premium supermarkets. It carries a higher per-unit margin. Chrismatel bottled water is available in 50cl, 75cl and 1.5L. Both Chrismatel formats share the same NAFDAC certification (Reg. 01-5406) and are produced at the same Ibusa plant. ## Where Chrismatel fits Chrismatel is the premium table-water brand of **Dizpharm Nigeria Limited** — a NAFDAC-certified manufacturer that has operated in Ibusa, Delta State since 1986. Water sits alongside Dizpharm’s pharmaceutical lines as a high-velocity FMCG counterpart, produced under the same NAFDAC oversight as the medicines. For a buyer, that means a clearly identifiable manufacturer, a printed NAFDAC number, and consistent supply. For a household or event buyer, Chrismatel is an affordable, NAFDAC-certified choice in both sachet and bottled formats. For a business buyer — a hotel, office or supermarket — the bottled range covers table-service and shelf needs. ## For distributors: water is an easy, high-velocity entry Water is one of the most accessible distribution businesses in Nigeria because it does not require a pharmacy licence — only a CAC business registration. Sachet water moves in extremely high volume; bottled water carries a stronger per-unit margin. Dizpharm supplies both Chrismatel formats to distributors with truck-load and bulk options, and exclusive territory for high-volume partners under the same program as its pharmaceuticals. We cover the economics in detail in [the sachet water distributor business guide](https://www.dizpharm.org/blog/sachet-water-distributor-business-nigeria).

Also look for clean, sealed packaging, a legible batch and date, and an identifiable manufacturer. Chrismatel table water carries NAFDAC Reg. No. 01-5406. **Q: Is Chrismatel water NAFDAC certified?** Yes. Chrismatel table water carries NAFDAC Reg. No. 01-5406, printed on every bag and bottle, and is produced at the NAFDAC-certified Dizpharm facility in Ibusa, Delta State, in both sachet (50cl) and bottled (50cl, 75cl, 1.5L) formats. **Q: What is the difference between sachet and bottled water?** Sachet ("pure") water is the affordable 50cl everyday format sold at kiosks, schools and events — the highest-volume FMCG format in Nigeria. Bottled table water (50cl, 75cl, 1.5L) is the higher-margin format for hotels, offices, events and premium retail. Chrismatel offers both. **Q: Do I need a licence to distribute table water in Nigeria?** No pharmacy (PCN) licence is required to distribute packaged water — only a CAC business registration. This makes water one of the easiest distribution categories to enter. Dizpharm supplies Chrismatel sachet and bottled water to distributors nationwide. **Q: Where is Chrismatel water produced?** Chrismatel is produced at the Dizpharm Nigeria Limited facility on the Ibusa-Asaba Expressway, Ibusa, Delta State — a NAFDAC-certified plant operating since 1986. Its proximity to Onitsha makes Southern distribution fast. ## Sources cited - [NAFDAC — National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control](https://nafdac.gov.ng/) - [NAFDAC — Packaged Water Registration](https://nafdac.gov.ng/) - [Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON)](https://son.gov.ng/) --- *Source: Dizpharm Nigeria Limited — NAFDAC-certified pharmaceutical manufacturer since 1986.
