Hard capsule filling and processing In the field of food commissioned production, as a dietary supplement manufacturing OEM project, what is the manufacturing and processing price and how much does it cost per capsule? This is one of the issues that customers as the entrusting party continue to pay attention to. Find a supplement factory to cooperate with and outsource the production process. The processing cost of the product is directly related to the later profit margin, but the manufacturer's quotation will be greatly affected by the content of your order.
How much does it cost to fill and manufacture a hard capsule?
The filling price is $0.01/capsule, but it needs to meet the minimum order quantity of 1 million capsules for a single product, and this price is only the filling cost, not including the cost of the hollow capsule shell and raw materials. If you simply inquire about the factory processing fee without determining the specific supplement manufacturing and processing project, the answer you will get is basically as mentioned above.
How to calculate the price of hard capsule manufacturing and processing?
The hard capsule manufacturing and processing price is a value calculated by the entrusted production enterprise based on detailed accounting based on the specific content of the supplement processing project provided by the client, and by adding up the costs of all projects. Therefore, although the prices for filling and processing of hollow hard capsules are generally the same, orders for different products will have different quotation contents. Let’s break down the factory charging basis in detail below.
1. Hard capsule filling cost
total number of customized capsules * 0.03 yuan/capsule, the order needs to meet the corresponding requirements.
2. Hard capsule packaging cost
bottling, bagging, and blister pressing can all be used as in-packaging solutions for hard capsule health food; packaging boxes made of various materials are more commonly used outsourcing solutions. Capsule manufacturing OEMs need to calculate the amount of expenses incurred in the packaging process based on the product's established packaging plan and process cost accounting.
3. Material procurement costs
All material purchase costs related to the production of hollow capsule shells, raw materials, excipients, packaging materials, etc. For items that require hard capsule processing manufacturers to provide, the processing factory will present the corresponding costs in detail in the OEM fee schedule.
4. Relevant testing costs
raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products and other cost items that require third-party testing.
5. Other items
taxes, logistics and distribution fees that the factory needs to pay in advance, the cost of turnover cartons, etc., OEM manufacturers will also calculate them into the hard capsule processing price.
Calculated as follows:
Hard capsule processing price = hollow capsule shell filling fee + product packaging fee + material cost + testing fee + tax + other miscellaneous fees
Supplement manufacturers’ calculation method for hard capsule OEM prices is similar to tablet supplement manufacturing and granule powder processing projects. This is also a common model for entrusting supplement manufacturing companies to take orders and provide quotations. If the order does not meet the factory's minimum order quantity, the factory can take the order and produce it, so the processing cost accounting plan is another situation.
The processing fee of 0.03 yuan/capsule for hard capsule filling OEM needs to meet the factory’s minimum order requirement of 1 million pieces for a single product. The quotation for the entire supplement manufacturing OEM project also needs to be combined with the specific content of product customization by the processing factory and the OEM of both parties. This is the main method of commissioned production quotation.
Therefore, if the brand owner has a confirmed supplement production project, it is necessary to calculate the specific processing costs of each link with the supplement manufacturer. The simple hard capsule filling cost is far from enough to support the smooth progress of the entire project. If you are interested in the manufacturing of a certain supplement, then make a detailed processing plan and budget. This saves most of the time for both parties and improves work efficiency.
