Ginger Gummy Manufacturer for Private Label Brands

The plant runs pectin and gelatin gummy lines with a combined output of 12–18 tonnes per month, depending on gummy size and formulation. For ginger gummies, the most common formats are 2.5 g and 3.0 g pieces in 60-count and 90-count bottles. We also run starch-moulded gummies for higher-dose or low-sugar recipes. Bottling lines handle 30–120 count PET jars, with induction seals, child-resistant caps or standard screw caps.

Changeover between SKUs takes 4–6 hours, including full line cleaning and allergen checks. That matters if you plan to launch multiple flavours or ginger blends in the same quarter. Pilot runs start at 1,000 units so you can test market response before committing to a full 1,000-unit MOQ. Tooling for custom shapes or embossed logos adds 10–15 working days to the sample stage.

Ginger is a challenging flavour to mask. The active compounds, gingerols and shogaols, carry a sharp, warming bite. At 50–150 mg per gummy, most consumers accept the taste. Above 250 mg, you need a sweetness system and a masking agent to keep the profile palatable. We typically use standardised ginger extract at 5% or 10% gingerols, or whole-root powder when the label calls for 'ginger root' rather than 'ginger extract'.

Stability testing runs at 25°C/60% RH and 40°C/75% RH for 3–6 months. Ginger gummies can darken slightly over time, especially with natural colours. We test for gingerol retention, texture firmness and water activity. If your market requires organic or non-GMO claims, we source certified organic ginger powder and use organic tapioca syrup in the base. Vegan pectin gummies are the default for EU and UK buyers; gelatin gummies remain common in the US and Middle East.

The facility is GMP-certified and holds ISO 22000 and HACCP. Halal, organic and certifications are available depending on the ingredient list and your target market. Every batch is tested for microbials, heavy metals, and gingerol content. We provide a certificate of analysis and a full ingredient breakdown for your regulatory filings. The plant is FDA-registered, which supports US import clearance.

For EU and UK buyers, we prepare documentation for novel food and health claim review. Middle East shipments include halal certificates and Arabic labelling where required. Shipping from Guangdong to Los Angeles takes 18–24 days; to Rotterdam, 28–35 days; to Jebel Ali, 14–20 days. We work with your freight forwarder or arrange door-to-door delivery. MOQ for retail bottling is 1,000 units per SKU, with lower thresholds for pilot runs.

Every ginger gummy batch is tested against a written specification before release. Incoming ginger extract is verified for identity by HPLC fingerprint and assayed for gingerol content, typically 5% to 20% standardised. In-process checks cover weight, texture and disintegration during moulding. Finished gummies are tested for microbials (total plate count, yeast and mould, E. coli, Salmonella), heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury) and disintegration time, which must meet the target of under 30 minutes for most markets. Tests are run at an ISO 17025-accredited third-party laboratory, with in-house checks at each production stage.

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is issued for each batch and includes the product name, batch number, manufacturing date, expiry date, tests performed, specification limits, results and the signature of the quality manager. Where a customer requires it, the COA can reference the specific ginger extract lot used. Retention samples of every batch are kept for the shelf life plus six months, stored under controlled conditions. Stability protocols follow ICH climatic zone guidelines, with accelerated testing at 40°C/75% RH for six months and real-time testing at 25°C/60% RH for up to 24 months, depending on the market.

Disintegration testing is critical for gummies because a product that does not break down within the specified time may not release its actives as claimed. EUPHM tests each batch using a standard disintegration apparatus, and results are recorded on the COA. For markets requiring it, additional tests such as peroxide value for any oil-based flavours or colour uniformity can be added to the protocol. All records, including raw material COAs, in-process checks and finished product results, are retained for at least five years and are available for customer audits.

Batch documentation is prepared in English and can be translated into the buyer's language on request. The documentation pack typically includes the finished product COA, raw material COAs, a certificate of free sale, a GMP certificate and, where relevant, a halal or vegan certificate. For US buyers, we provide a statement of identity and a finished product specification sheet suitable for FDA prior notice. This level of documentation supports both regulatory submissions and retailer technical files.

Ginger gummies can be packed in a range of formats to suit different retail channels. The most common is a white HDPE bottle with a child-resistant cap, available in 60, 90 and 120 count sizes. Blister packs are available for pharmacy channels, typically 10 or 12 gummies per blister with a paperboard wallet. Stick packs and sachets are used for single-serve or sample formats, with fill weights from 10 g to 30 g. All primary packaging materials are food-grade and can be supplied with migration test reports for the EU market.

For the US market, labels must include the supplement facts panel, serving size, amount per serving, percent daily value where applicable, other ingredients, allergen statements, and the manufacturer's name and address. EUPHM provides a label template that covers the required elements, and our regulatory team reviews customer artwork for compliance before printing. Lot numbers and expiry dates are inkjet-printed on the bottle or carton, with a format agreed at order confirmation. For Amazon sellers, we can apply FNSKU labels and poly-bag the bottles according to Amazon's packaging requirements.

Cartons are typically 12, 24 or 48 bottles per shipper, with dimensions and gross weight confirmed on the packaging specification. Pallets are standard 1200 x 1000 mm or 1200 x 800 mm, stretch-wrapped and labelled with the pallet ID and batch information. We can also provide display-ready cartons for retail shelves. All packaging components are checked for compatibility with the gummy base, particularly for pectin-based products where moisture migration can affect texture. Accelerated stability testing includes the chosen packaging to confirm shelf life.

The sampling process begins with a brief: target dose, base type, flavour, packaging and market. EUPHM provides a sample quotation within two working days, and samples are typically dispatched within 7 to 10 working days after receipt of the sample fee, which is credited against the first production order. Samples are sent by courier with tracking, and we include a preliminary specification sheet. For complex formulations, an additional 5 to 7 days may be needed for flavour matching or stability pre-checks.

Mass production starts after sample approval, receipt of deposit and confirmation of artwork and packaging. The standard production window is 20 to 35 working days, depending on the quantity and packaging format. For orders above 50,000 units, we recommend booking capacity at least 8 weeks in advance. Production is scheduled in batches, and we provide a production schedule with key milestones. Quality checks are performed at 0%, 50% and 100% of the run, and a pre-shipment inspection can be arranged on request.

Shipping options include air freight for urgent orders (5 to 10 days door-to-door) and sea freight for larger volumes (25 to 40 days depending on destination). We work with EXW, FOB Shenzhen or Hong Kong, and DDP terms for selected markets. For DDP, we handle customs clearance and delivery to the buyer's warehouse. The shipping documents provided include the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, COA, MSDS, certificate of free sale and, where applicable, phytosanitary certificate and halal or vegan certificates. All documents are checked for accuracy before dispatch.

For first-time buyers, we recommend a pilot order of 1,000 units to validate the product in the market. This allows for feedback on taste, texture and packaging before scaling up. EUPHM assigns a dedicated account manager for each order, who coordinates sampling, production, documentation and shipping. Lead times are confirmed in the proforma invoice, and we provide regular updates on production progress. Any delay that may affect the delivery date is communicated within 48 hours.
