Adult Gummy Manufacturer for Retail and Private Label

This facility runs two base systems. Pectin gummies suit vegan and vegetarian labels and hold stable texture at ambient temperatures. Gelatin gummies offer a firmer chew and faster flavour release. Both lines handle 2.5 g to 5 g fill weights. Changeover between flavours takes under 4 hours. Typical line output is 1.2 to 1.8 million gummies per day across shifts. That capacity supports launches from 5,000 units up to multi-container orders without shifting to a second supplier.

Depositing accuracy is held to ±3% of the target active weight per gummy. For oil-based actives such as omega-3 or vitamin D3, the plant uses emulsified pre-blends to prevent separation during the cook. Water-soluble vitamins, minerals and botanical extracts run on separate mixing circuits. This reduces cross-contact risk. Every batch records cook temperature, Brix, pH and deposit weight. Those records stay linked to the lot number on your bottle.

Adult gummies carry higher active loads than children's products. Vitamin C at 250 mg, magnesium at 200 mg and ashwagandha at 300 mg are common requests. High-dose minerals can taste chalky or metallic. The formulation team masks these with natural flavours, citric acid blends and monk fruit or stevia systems. Sugar-free versions use soluble corn fibre or allulose. You can request a 500 g lab sample before committing to a pilot batch.

Flavour profiles are built for your market. US buyers often choose berry, citrus and peach. EU and UK buyers lean toward sour cherry, elderflower and blackcurrant. Middle East buyers frequently request halal-certified gelatin and no alcohol-based carriers. The plant keeps halal gelatin stocks separate. Colour options include natural anthocyanins, beta-carotene and chlorophyllin. Synthetic colours are available on request. All flavour and colour systems are declared on the spec sheet before production begins.

The facility operates under GMP, ISO 22000 and HACCP. Incoming raw materials are quarantined until identity testing clears. Finished gummies are tested for weight, hardness, moisture, microbial limits and active potency. Third-party lab testing is available for heavy metals, pesticides and allergen panels. Certificates of analysis ship with every batch. Shelf-life studies support 18 to 24 months depending on the active and packaging format. Stability data is provided before you finalise your label claim.

Export documentation covers US, EU, UK and Middle East markets. The plant prepares certificates of origin, health certificates, halal certificates, and allergen statements. Bottling uses food-grade HDPE or PET with induction seals. Labelling can be applied in-house or shipped unlabelled for local application. Air freight samples leave within 7–10 working days. Sea freight for mass production typically adds 18–30 days depending on destination port. EUPHM handles the export paperwork from Guangdong.

Every adult gummy batch is sampled at three points: incoming raw materials, the cooked slurry before depositing, and the finished bottled product. Identity testing by FTIR confirms each active, while potency is verified by HPLC or ICP-MS for minerals. Microbial testing covers total aerobic count, yeast and mould, E. coli and Salmonella. Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) are screened against EU and US limits. Disintegration testing follows USP <2040> for gelatin and pectin gummies, with typical results of 15 to 30 minutes.

A certificate of analysis (COA) is issued per batch and includes the product name, lot number, manufacturing date, expiry date, active assay results with specification ranges, microbial results, heavy metal results, disintegration time, and a statement of conformity. Retention samples of each lot are held for 24 months at controlled temperature (25°C ± 2°C, 60% RH ± 5%) and inspected at 0, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months for appearance, texture, potency and microbial stability. Accelerated stability at 40°C / 75% RH is run for 6 months to support a 24-month shelf life claim.

Batch records are retained for five years and are available for buyer review during audits. Deviations are logged and investigated under a CAPA system. If you require third-party testing at an external laboratory, we can arrange it at cost and include the external COA with your shipment. Water activity is measured on every batch (target below 0.65) to control mould growth, and pH is recorded for pectin systems to confirm the gel set.

Adult gummies are typically filled into HDPE or PET bottles with induction seals and child-resistant caps, though we also run blister packs, stick packs and single-serve sachets. Bottle sizes cover 60, 90, 120 and 180 counts, with desiccant sachets where humidity control is needed. Labels can be supplied by the buyer or printed in-house. For the US market, labels must include the supplement facts panel, serving size, amount per serving, percent daily value where applicable, other ingredients, allergen statement, and the manufacturer or distributor address.

Lot and expiry coding is applied by inkjet or laser on the bottle base and carton. Cartons are standard corrugated with a maximum weight of 15 kg, and pallets are 1,200 mm × 1,000 mm or 1,200 mm × 800 mm, stretch-wrapped and corner-protected. We can print Amazon FNSKU labels and apply them to each unit, and we can pack to retail compliance requirements including carton labelling with PO number, item code and quantity. For EU retail, we apply the required food supplement labelling including the 'food supplements' wording and daily dose instructions.

If you sell on Amazon or through retail chains, we can provide flat-file images of the finished label and pack for your listing. We do not design labels, but we review your artwork against the target market's regulatory requirements before printing, and we flag any missing mandatory elements. Packaging components are specified per SKU and confirmed in a signed packaging specification sheet before mass production.

Sample lead time is 7 to 10 working days after receipt of your formulation brief and packaging specification. Mass production runs 20 to 35 working days after sample approval, depending on flavour, active complexity and bottle size. MOQ is 1,000 units per SKU for retail bottling, with lower quantities for pilot runs subject to a setup fee. A deposit of 30% to 50% is standard, with the balance due before shipment.

We ship by air or sea. Air freight takes 5 to 10 days door to door and suits pilot runs or urgent replenishment; sea freight takes 20 to 35 days port to port depending on destination. Incoterms offered are EXW, FOB Shenzhen or Hong Kong, and DDP for selected markets. We provide a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, COA, MSDS where applicable, free-sale certificate, and phytosanitary certificate for botanical ingredients where the destination requires it.

For DDP shipments, we handle customs clearance and duties in the destination country and provide a door delivery confirmation. We recommend booking sea freight for orders above 500 kg and air freight for orders below 200 kg. Lead times are confirmed in the proforma invoice, and we notify you of any delay within 48 hours of identification.
