raw materials and packaging for supplement OEM processing

How to solve the problem of raw materials and packaging of health supplements? 

This should be a concern for most self-owned formula or brand holders who find manufacturers to OEM their own products. The supply method of materials required for production and processing projects not only depends on the resource ownership of the client, but also is affected by the two cooperation models of new product customization and finished product OEM established by both parties.

1. Provided by the factory: The processing factory purchases the raw materials according to the type and quantity required in the formula, and is responsible for the qualification and quality of the raw materials. In terms of packaging, the health product manufacturer will find a cooperative manufacturer for processing based on the design source documents confirmed by both parties. The foundry will control the construction period to ensure the overall progress of the health product processing and production.

2. Processing with supplied materials: The client provides all or part of the raw materials, packaging and other production materials. The supply method of materials must comply with the OEM manufacturer's requirements. The health care product processing industry has strong control over products. If cooperation is not confirmed, try not to purchase raw materials. Because not all foundries will accept cooperation with incoming materials.

The supply methods of raw materials and packaging are mainly the above two. However, the cooperation model established between the product demander and the health care product processing manufacturer, or the form of product customization, will directly affect the determination of the material supply plan.

The impact of the health care products processing cooperation model on material supply

1. Find a factory to process and manufacture your own formula: In this case, the product copyright is in the hands of the product demander, and you can choose between the two material supply options above.

2. Only brands can find factory OEM products for OEM customization: choose ready-made products from processing factories for OEM, and the copyright of the products belongs to the factory. In this mode, the factory does not accept incoming materials.

The main difference between entrusted processing and contract processing of health products is also reflected in the supply of raw materials. In entrusted processing, the customer provides all or most of the main raw materials himself, and the factory is only responsible for processing and production, while in contract processing, the factory provides related materials.

What are the requirements for the materials provided by the client for health care product processing?

1. Raw materials must have the supplier’s qualifications (business license, operating permit) and batch testing report.

2. The raw materials must be delivered directly from the supplier to the supplement manufacturer. The manufacturer does not accept incoming materials that have been transferred by three parties.

3. The raw materials must be packaged in the original factory and cannot be packaged separately or mixed.

If it is self-grown traditional Chinese medicine raw materials of the same origin as medicine and food, then you need to find a third-party institution with formal testing qualifications to test for pesticide residues, heavy metals and other necessary items.

Because the packaging of health care product processing involves source file design work, it cannot be purchased directly like raw materials. For design work, customers can find a design company themselves or entrust a factory agent. However, the design source files need to be reviewed by the factory and can only be used officially after the customer confirms it.
