Prepare to find a supplement manufacturer to process major health products such as medicines and foods, new resources, special diets or health foods. In addition to the necessary procedures and qualifications and the review and adjustment of product formula compliance, there are also other aspects related to product production. Raw materials, packaging and overall manufacturing costs also require special attention, which is also one of the must-do homework for supplement processing projects.
Things to note when preparing to find a supplement manufacturer to process supplement products:
1. Supply method of main raw materials
1) Processing with supplied materials: If you choose this supply plan, as the client, you need to provide raw material types that meet the requirements of relevant laws and regulations, and the quality, qualifications, transportation and packaging methods of the products meet the acceptance standards of the foundry.
2) Factory procurement: If you don’t have raw materials for the time being, and you don’t have a cooperative raw material supplier, try not to purchase in advance. In case the foundry is unable to receive and use this part of the raw materials due to some reasons. You may consider letting the foundry take full responsibility for the material work of producing your own products.
2. Design and processing of packaging materials
1) Packaging and printing document design: Packaging and labels can be designed by yourself in advance after understanding the relevant requirements of the Advertising Law and GB7718, but do not finalize it. The design source files must be reviewed and approved by the foundry's legal personnel before they can be used. Moreover, the size of the design source file needs to be determined based on the packaging specifications and sizes obtained after the product trial assembly experiment. The nutritional ingredient table in the source file also needs to wait for the third-party testing result data.
2) Packaging material processing and production: The procurement and processing of packaging mainly consider the timeliness of supply. Part of the inner packaging can be purchased according to the required specifications, materials, and styles, but the labels and outer boxes require the packaging factory to get the final documents for sampling and processing, which takes about 15-20 days. If you provide packaging by yourself, be sure to ensure accurate delivery time to avoid delaying the OEM's entire production plan due to insufficient packaging materials.
3. Product creation costs
When preparing to find a foundry to process products, you must have an expectation for the product creation costs to avoid being out of touch with your own targeted consumer groups. If the product is launched for testing based on certain platform rules, the assessment of its price will be more stringent. Factors such as the quantity of product customization, content of main ingredients, selection of raw material types, packaging design and processing, etc., will all cause fluctuations in product costs. If you can't solve it by yourself, you can ask the foundry to give you reasonable suggestions.
To find a supplement manufacturer to process supplement products, you only need to prepare the necessary qualifications and a detailed product customization plan. It is not too late to start designing, purchasing or processing after establishing effective communication with the factory. This can effectively avoid unnecessary losses caused by information errors.
Large health food projects such as tablet candy supplement manufacturing, solid beverage supplement manufacturing, substitute tea customization, and commissioned production of special meals and health foods. If you are going to find a supplement manufacturer to process your products, in addition to necessary procedures and qualifications, raw materials, packaging and Ingredients and costs are factors that have to be considered.
