Production Capability and Scale

EUPHM operates two dedicated gummy lines for collagen and nutraceutical products. Each line runs at up to 600,000 gummies per day, giving a combined output of 1.2 million units daily. We use starch mogul and depositing technologies to handle both pectin and gelatin bases. Changeover between SKUs takes 4–6 hours, which keeps small batch runs practical. Bottling lines fill 60–120 bottles per minute, depending on count size and bottle format.

For brands scaling from pilot to retail, we hold inventory of common collagen raw materials. This reduces lead time on repeat orders. Our MOQ of 1,000 units per SKU applies to standard 60-count or 90-count bottles. Pilot runs from 1,000 units are available for market testing, though per-unit costs are higher. We can also produce bulk gummies for repackaging in your market, subject to local regulations.

Collagen Types and Formulation Support

Collagen gummies typically use hydrolysed collagen peptides with a molecular weight below 3,000 Da for better dispersion and mouthfeel. We work with bovine, porcine, and marine sources. Type I and III blends are common for skin and joint positioning, while type II is used for joint-specific formulas. Marine collagen suits pescatarian and halal claims when sourced and certified accordingly. Each formula is adjusted for pH, water activity, and thermal stability during the cooking and drying stages.

Taste masking is a key step. Collagen peptides can carry a savoury or bitter note. We use natural flavours, citric acid, and fruit concentrates to balance the profile. Pectin-based gummies are vegan and offer a softer bite; gelatin-based gummies provide a firmer, more traditional texture. Added ingredients such as vitamin C, biotin, zinc, and hyaluronic acid are validated for compatibility before production. Stability testing runs for 12–24 months at accelerated and real-time conditions.

Quality Control and Compliance

EUPHM is an FDA-registered facility and holds GMP, ISO 22000, and HACCP certifications. Incoming raw materials are tested for identity, potency, and contaminants. In-process checks monitor Brix, pH, texture, and weight every 30 minutes. Finished gummies undergo microbiological testing, heavy metal screening, and label claim verification. Certificates of analysis are issued per batch. halal certification are available where the supply chain supports them.

For US and EU buyers, we provide documentation for customs and regulatory review. This includes certificates of origin, health certificates, and allergen statements. We do not claim FDA approval; our status is FDA-registered. Labels can be printed in English, French, German, or Arabic. Packaging options include HDPE bottles, PET jars, and blister packs. We also support serialisation and QR codes for track-and-trace requirements in the Middle East and EU.

Packaging, Labelling and Retail Readiness

Collagen gummies ship in high-density polyethylene bottles from 60 cc to 500 cc with induction-sealed liners and child-resistant or standard screw caps, in single-serve stick packs, or in blister and sachet formats. Bottle labelling supports wrap-around or pressure-sensitive stock, and we can apply a neck seal and desiccant where the destination climate requires it. Carton specifications are agreed per SKU, typically 12, 24 or 48 bottles per shipper, with pallet patterns of 48 to 60 cartons per standard 1,200 by 1,000 mm pallet.

For the US market, labels must carry the supplement facts panel with serving size, active quantities per serving, percent daily value for vitamin C and biotin, other ingredients in descending order, and the mandatory allergen statement where gelatin or other allergens apply. We check that the label submitted by the brand contains the statement of identity, net quantity, directions for use, and the manufacturer or distributor address block before printing.

Lot and expiry coding is applied by inkjet or laser at pack-out, in the format agreed with the brand, and the same code is recorded on the certificate of analysis so that retail traceability requests can be answered from our batch records. For Amazon sellers, we can print and apply FNSKU labels, build cartons to Amazon case-pack rules, and confirm that poly-bagged units meet the suffocation-warning requirement. Retailer-specific requirements such as GS1 barcodes and pallet labels are handled at the same stage.

Artwork proofing runs before any packaging material is ordered. We return a digital proof for sign-off and, where the brand requires it, a physical pre-production sample in the final bottle and carton so that colour, print position and closure fit are confirmed. Packaging material lead time of 10 to 15 working days is built into the production schedule, so artwork should be approved before the gummy mass is scheduled.

MOQ, Lead Times and Delivery

Sampling starts with a brief covering collagen type, fill weight, actives, base, flavour, colour and target market. Stock-formula samples are dispatched in 7 to 10 working days. Custom development, including a new flavour system or an adjusted active load, takes 12 to 18 working days because a pilot batch of 2 to 5 kg must be produced, tasted and stability-screened before the sample is sent. Sample cost is credited against the first mass-production order.

Mass production runs 20 to 35 working days after sample approval and receipt of packaging materials, with the shorter window applying to repeat orders on an unchanged formula. Pilot runs from 1,000 units allow a brand to test the market before committing to the 1,000 unit MOQ per SKU for retail bottling. Capacity of 1.2 million gummies per day across two lines means larger orders are scheduled in blocks rather than queued behind a single run.

Air freight from Guangdong to the US or EU typically takes 5 to 8 days door to door and suits pilot volumes and launch stock. Sea freight takes 25 to 35 days to European ports and 18 to 28 days to US west coast ports, and is the standard route for full pallets. We quote EXW, FOB Shenzhen or Hong Kong, and DDP where the destination country allows it, and we confirm which Incoterm applies before the proforma invoice is issued.

Each shipment is accompanied by a certificate of analysis, a material safety data sheet, a free-sale certificate, and a packing list with batch numbers and expiry dates. Where a destination requires it, we arrange a health certificate or phytosanitary certificate through the local authority, and we provide the commercial invoice and bill of lading or airway bill. Documents are issued in the shipper name agreed with the brand, so the importer of record is correct at customs.

Questions buyers ask.

What is the MOQ for collagen gummies?+

MOQ is 1,000 units per SKU for retail bottling. Pilot runs from 1,000 units are available for market testing, though per-unit pricing is higher. Bulk gummies for repackaging also have lower thresholds, subject to local regulations.

How long does production take?+

Samples ship in 7–10 working days. Mass production takes 20–35 working days after sample approval and deposit. This excludes raw material sourcing, which adds 10–15 working days for non-stock items.

Can you make vegan collagen gummies?+

Yes. We use pectin instead of gelatin for vegan formulas. Note that true collagen is animal-derived. Vegan options typically use collagen-boosting ingredients like vitamin C, silica, or amino acids. We can label and formulate accordingly.

What certifications do you hold?+

EUPHM holds GMP, ISO 22000, and HACCP certifications. We are an FDA-registered facility. halal certification are available where the supply chain supports them. Certificates are provided per batch.

Do you help with label compliance for the US and EU?+

Yes. We provide certificates of origin, health certificates, and allergen statements. Labels can be printed in English, French, German, or Arabic. We do not provide legal advice, but we format labels to meet common FDA and EU requirements.

Can you match a collagen gummy sample I already have from another supplier?+

Yes, provided you send at least 100 g of the reference product. We analyse fill weight, texture, pH, water activity, sugar profile and active content, then build a matching formula and return a counter-sample in 12 to 18 working days. Exact sensory matching is not always possible where the original uses a proprietary flavour or gel system, so we agree the acceptable tolerance band at sample approval.

How do you prevent collagen gummies from sticking together in warm climates?+

Sticking is controlled through the base and the finishing step rather than through packaging alone. Pectin-based gummies are preferred for hot-climate destinations because they hold shape above 40 degrees Celsius. We cure the gummies to a water activity below 0.65, apply a thin polishing oil or starch coat, and specify a desiccant in the bottle where the destination humidity is high. Accelerated stability at 40 degrees Celsius confirms the result.

What is your policy on formula ownership and exclusivity?+

Custom formulas developed for a brand are treated as that brand's property and are not offered to other customers. We sign a non-disclosure and exclusivity agreement before development starts, covering the formula, the artwork and the customer list. Stock formulas remain available to multiple brands. Exclusivity on a stock formula can be granted for a defined period and territory under a separate agreement.
