Calcium Gummy Manufacturer for Your Brand

Our Guangdong plant runs four dedicated gummy lines. Each line handles 1.2 million gummies per day at full capacity. For calcium gummies, we use either starch moulding or depositing depending on fill weight and texture. Typical retail bottles hold 60, 90 or 120 gummies. We can run 1,000-unit pilot batches on the same equipment as 500,000-unit orders, so your sample matches mass production.

Lead times are firm: 7–10 working days for samples, then 20–35 working days for mass production after artwork and deposit approval. We hold buffer stock of common calcium sources (calcium carbonate, citrate, lactate) to reduce raw material delays. For orders above 250,000 units, we schedule a dedicated production window to protect your launch date.

Calcium is bulky. A 500 mg elemental calcium dose often needs 1,250 mg of calcium carbonate. In a 3 g gummy, that leaves room for sweeteners, pectin or gelatin, acidulants and flavour. We adjust the base to keep texture stable over 24 months. Common actives include vitamin D3 (200–1,000 IU), vitamin K2 (45–120 mcg) and magnesium (50–100 mg) per gummy.

We offer pectin (vegan), gelatin (porcine or bovine) and starch-based bases. Pectin gummies suit halal claims. Gelatin gives a chewier bite. Flavour systems cover fruit, vanilla, mint and yogurt. We test each formula for hardness, water activity and taste at 0, 3, 6 and 12 months. Sugar-free versions use maltitol or allulose; sugar levels can be below 1 g per gummy.

Every batch is tested for calcium content, micro counts, heavy metals and stability. We use ICP-MS for mineral assay and HPLC for vitamin D3. Certifications: GMP, ISO 22000, HACCP. For halal and we source certified gelatin and run dedicated production slots. Organic and options are available if you supply certified calcium sources.

We are an FDA-registered facility. That means we follow 21 CFR Part 111 for dietary supplements. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) per batch, plus allergen statements and country-of-origin documents. For EU clients, we handle EFSA-compliant health claims and labelling. For Middle East orders, we include halal certificates and Arabic labelling if needed.

Every calcium gummy batch is tested against a written specification before release. Identity and potency are confirmed by HPLC or ICP-MS for calcium salts, with results compared to the label claim. Microbial testing covers total plate count, yeast and mould, E. coli and Salmonella. Heavy metals are screened for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury against USP <232> limits. Disintegration testing follows USP <2040> for gummies to confirm the product breaks down within the required time. Testing occurs at three points: incoming raw materials, in-process gummy mass, and finished packed goods.

A certificate of analysis (COA) accompanies each batch and lists the product name, batch number, manufacturing date, expiry date, tests performed, specification limits, results and a pass/fail statement. It also names the testing laboratory and the release signature. Retention samples of every batch are kept for the full shelf life plus six months, stored under labelled conditions. Stability protocols follow ICH Q1A(R2) guidelines with accelerated conditions at 40°C/75% RH for six months and real-time studies at 25°C/60% RH for up to 24 months, depending on the claim.

Batch records include the formulation sheet, ingredient lot numbers, mixing times, deposition weights, drying parameters and packaging line logs. These records are retained for five years and are available for customer audit. If a deviation occurs, such as a fill weight outside the 2.5 g to 4.0 g range, the batch is held and a corrective action report is issued. We do not release product without a completed COA and a signed release note from the quality team.

For private-label calcium gummies, we can provide a customer-specific COA template and additional testing on request, such as sugar profile, colourant identity or allergen screening. Turnaround for third-party laboratory results is typically 7 to 10 working days, which is factored into the production lead time. All documentation is provided in English, with translated versions available for regulated markets.

Calcium gummies can be packed in HDPE bottles (60, 90, 120 or 180 count), PET jars, blister packs, stick packs or single-serve sachets. Bottles are induction-sealed and fitted with child-resistant caps where required. We stock standard bottle sizes and can source custom moulds for unique shapes, with tooling lead time of 15 to 20 working days. Label application is done in-house, and we support both pressure-sensitive and shrink-sleeve labels. Carton specifications are customisable, with standard corrugated board grades for export.

For the US market, labels must include the statement of identity, net quantity, supplement facts panel, other ingredients, directions for use, and the manufacturer or distributor address. Allergen declarations follow FALCPA. We can format the supplement facts panel based on your formula and verify calcium content per serving. Lot and expiry coding is applied by inkjet or laser, with formats such as YYYYMMDD and best-by dates. We also print batch numbers on cartons and pallets for traceability.

For Amazon sellers, we apply FNSKU labels and poly-bag the bottles if required. We can also provide retail-ready packaging with barcodes (UPC/EAN) and shelf-ready cartons. Pallet specifications are built to customer requirements: standard 1200x1000 mm or 1200x800 mm pallets, with stretch-wrapping and edge protectors. Container loading is optimised for 20ft or 40ft containers, and we provide a packing list with carton dimensions and weights.

We do not provide regulatory review for every destination, but we can supply documentation to support your own compliance checks. For EU markets, we can include the food business operator address and nutrition declaration. For markets requiring halal marks, we apply the relevant logo only when the specific batch is certified. All packaging materials are food-grade and meet EU 10/2011 and FDA 21 CFR 177 requirements.

Sampling starts with a brief and formula confirmation. We provide stock samples or custom samples within 7 to 10 working days, including a draft COA and label mock-up. Sample costs are credited against the first production order. Once the sample is approved, a deposit of 30% to 50% is required to schedule production. Mass production takes 20 to 35 working days after deposit and artwork approval, depending on packaging complexity and whether custom moulds are needed.

Shipping options include air freight (5 to 10 days to major hubs) and sea freight (25 to 40 days depending on destination port). We work with EXW, FOB Shenzhen or Hong Kong, and DDP for select markets. DDP is available for the US, EU and UK, with duties and taxes included in the quoted price. For other destinations, we can quote CIF or CFR. We provide a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, COA, MSDS, and a free-sale certificate where required.

Phytosanitary certificates are not applicable to calcium gummies, but we can provide a certificate of origin and a health certificate for markets that request them. All documents are issued in English, and we can arrange legalisation at the consulate if needed, with additional lead time. For repeat orders, we keep master batch records and packaging artwork on file to reduce reorder lead time to 15 to 25 working days.

Payment terms are typically 30% deposit with balance against copy of shipping documents, or letter of credit for larger orders. We do not charge for standard documentation. For urgent orders, we can expedite production with a surcharge, subject to line capacity. Delivery schedules are confirmed in writing before production starts, and we provide weekly progress updates.
