What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ is set per SKU, format and packaging — a gummy run and a softgel run do not use the same number. We confirm the exact MOQ in your quotation, and low-MOQ pilot runs are available for stock formulas.

How much does private-label manufacturing cost?

Cost depends on the formula, active ingredients, piece weight, packaging and order volume. Send the brief and we will return an FOB range with the cost drivers separated, so you can compare options.

How long does production take?

Stock formulas typically move to production in about two to three weeks after artwork and specification sign-off. Custom formulation adds sampling and stability time before the production slot.

Do you provide samples?

Yes. Sampling is quoted per project: stock formulas can be sampled quickly, while custom formulas need a pilot batch. Sample fees and lead time are confirmed with the quotation.

Who owns the formula?

For bespoke development, the client owns the formula and we work under a mutual NDA. Stock formulas remain our catalogue formulas and are licensed to your brand.

Do supplements need FDA approval?

Dietary supplements do not require pre-market approval from the FDA. The manufacturing facility must follow 21 CFR Part 111 cGMP, and labels must meet FDA dietary-supplement labelling rules. We review labels against those requirements.

Which certifications can you share?

We share the current certificate set, scope and validity during supplier qualification, together with COAs and batch records for the SKUs you are evaluating. Ask for the certificate pack for your target market.

Can you make halal, vegan or organic products?

Halal-certified SKUs are available, and vegan formats include pectin gummies and HPMC capsules. Organic claims depend on ingredient supply and certification scope, so they are reviewed per formula.

What packaging formats do you offer?

HDPE bottles and jars, stand-up pouches, single-serve stick packs, blister packs and amber-glass dropper bottles. Labelling, induction seals and cartons are specified per market.

Can you help with label artwork?

Yes. We review your artwork for Supplement Facts structure, allergen and warning statements, and marketplace requirements. Printing is handled with your nominated printer or through our packaging partners.

How do you control quality?

Incoming material inspection, in-process checks on weight, hardness, moisture and seal, retained samples and a batch record for every run. Third-party testing and a COA are available on request.

What is the MOQ for a custom formula?

Custom formulas carry a higher MOQ than stock formulas because of tooling, pilot batches and stability work. The exact number is confirmed after the formula and process are fixed.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship FOB Guangzhou, and can quote CIF or door-to-door through freight forwarders. Export documents include commercial invoice, packing list, COA and certificate of origin where applicable.

What are the payment terms?

Payment terms are confirmed in the proforma invoice for each order. They depend on the order value, whether tooling is involved and whether the relationship is new.

Can you support an Amazon launch?

We support label and documentation preparation for Amazon sellers, including Supplement Facts review and batch documentation. See the Amazon compliance guide for the document checklist.

Still unsure? Send the brief and we will answer against your specific formula and market.

Ready to check a specific formula?

Send the actives, format and target market. We will confirm feasibility, MOQ and the documentation we can provide.
