Kids Oral Spray Manufacturer for Global Brands

EUPHM operates two dedicated oral spray lines for paediatric products. Each line fills 5-30 ml bottles at speeds of 60-80 units per minute, with a daily capacity of up to 120,000 units. Spray pumps are calibrated to deliver 0.05-0.1 ml per actuation, and we verify dose uniformity across the first, middle and last bottles of every batch. Bottles can be PET, glass or HDPE. Caps include child-resistant, tamper-evident and standard screw options. Labels are applied inline with 2-4 colour print or full-wrap shrink sleeves.

For pilot runs, we accept MOQs from 1,000 units per SKU. This suits brands testing a new flavour or market before committing to full production. Changeover between flavours takes 2-4 hours, including pump flushing and line sanitisation. We keep a library of stock pump and bottle moulds to reduce tooling costs. Custom moulds for a proprietary bottle shape take 25-35 days and require a one-time tooling fee. All filling rooms are positive-pressure with HEPA filtration.

Kids oral sprays typically carry 0.5-2 ml of liquid per dose. Common actives include vitamin D3 (400-1,000 IU), vitamin B12 (25-100 mcg), zinc (2-5 mg), elderberry extract (50-100 mg) and melatonin (0.5-1 mg). We formulate in water, glycerin or a glycerin-water base. Natural sweeteners such as xylitol, stevia or monk fruit mask bitter notes without adding sugar. Flavours are fruit-forward: strawberry, orange, grape, mixed berry and bubblegum. Preservatives are potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate at 0.1-0.2 percent, or a preservative-free option using a sterile fill.

EUPHM can work from your existing formula or develop one from a brief. Our formulation team checks compatibility between actives and the pump mechanism. For example, oil-based actives may require a different pump seal. We provide a taste panel with 3-5 children's flavour profiles for your selection. Stability testing runs for 3-6 months at 25°C and 40°C to confirm a 24-month shelf life. If you need organic certification, we source glycerin and fruit flavours from approved suppliers.

The facility is GMP-certified and holds ISO 22000 and HACCP. Every batch of kids oral spray is tested for microbial limits, heavy metals, pH and dose uniformity. We retain samples for 24 months. Certificates of analysis are issued per batch. For halal claims, we use certified suppliers and schedule production runs on dedicated equipment. vegan claims are supported by supplier declarations and finished-product testing where required. EUPHM is an FDA-registered facility for dietary supplements.

Shipping is from Shenzhen or Hong Kong. Lead times are 20-35 working days for mass production after sample approval, plus 3-5 days for documentation. We provide commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and health certificates. For US-bound orders, we can arrange FBA prep with poly-bagging and labelling. For EU orders, we include a declaration of conformity for food contact materials. Air freight takes 5-8 days; sea freight to US East Coast takes 30-35 days. MOQ for repeat orders is 1,000 units per SKU.

Every batch of kids oral spray passes through a documented QC gate at four points: incoming raw materials, bulk solution before filling, filled units during the run, and finished goods before release. Incoming actives and excipients are tested for identity by FTIR or HPLC, and potency is confirmed against the supplier COA. Microbial limits follow the compendial method for oral liquids, with total aerobic count, yeast and mould, E. coli and Salmonella screened. Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) are tested by ICP-MS on the bulk and on the finished spray at a frequency of one batch per campaign or per 12 months, whichever comes first.

Fill weight and spray dose are checked at start-up, every 30 minutes during the run, and at the end of the batch. A 0.05-0.1 ml actuation is verified by weighing ten consecutive sprays per head, with an acceptance range of ±10% of label claim. pH, appearance, odour and taste are assessed against the approved standard. Any out-of-specification result triggers a documented investigation before the batch can be released, and the batch record is retained for at least one year beyond expiry.

The certificate of analysis issued with each shipment lists batch number, manufacture and expiry dates, fill volume, appearance, pH, assay or marker content, microbial results, heavy metals and the specification range for each test. Retention samples are held at 25°C/60% RH and 30°C/65% RH for the shelf life plus 12 months, with a minimum of two units per batch. Accelerated stability runs at 40°C/75% RH for 0, 1, 2, 3 and 6 months support the assigned shelf life, and real-time data is added as it accumulates.

For brands selling into the EU or UK, the technical file includes the batch formula, specification, analytical methods, stability report and a declaration of compliance with the relevant food supplement or paediatric medicinal framework, depending on the intended claim set. The QC team can issue a customer-specific COA template in English, French, German or Arabic, and can supply raw-material COAs on request for retailer audits.

The standard kids oral spray format is a 5 ml, 10 ml, 15 ml, 20 ml or 30 ml PET or glass bottle with a child-resistant cap and a metered spray pump. Alternative formats include single-use 2 ml stick packs and 5 ml sachets for travel or sample packs, and a blister of ten 5 ml units for pharmacy channels. Pump options cover 0.05 ml, 0.075 ml and 0.1 ml per actuation, with fine mist or stream nozzles. Bottle, cap and pump colours are matched to the brand palette, and the pump can be supplied with a tamper-evident band.

Labels for the US market carry the FDA dietary supplement panel: supplement facts, serving size, amount per serving, other ingredients, allergen statement, and the mandatory 'Keep out of reach of children' and 'Do not use if seal is broken' statements. For the EU and UK, the label follows the food supplement rules with the recommended daily portion, a warning not to exceed it, and a statement that the product is not a substitute for a varied diet. Lot number and expiry date are inkjet-printed on the bottle base and on the carton, with a minimum character height of 1.5 mm and a format that matches the brand's traceability system.

Cartons are specified as 300-350 gsm FSC-certified board with a full-colour print, a tuck-end or reverse-tuck-end closure, and a product code and barcode on the base. A standard shipper holds 24, 48 or 96 units, and a Euro pallet (1200 x 800 mm) or a US pallet (1200 x 1000 mm) is loaded to a maximum height of 1.8 m, with stretch wrap and corner boards. Pallet labels show the SKU, lot, quantity, gross and net weight, and the SSCC-18 barcode for retail distribution centres.

For Amazon and other marketplaces, the factory can apply the FNSKU label over the existing barcode or print a combined label, and can supply poly-bagged units with a suffocation warning where required. Retailer compliance packs for Tesco, Boots, Walgreens or CVS can be prepared with the product specification sheet, artwork proof, barcode verification report and a declaration that the artwork matches the approved version. Artwork is proofed in PDF with a 3 mm bleed and a 1.5 mm safe margin, and a signed approval is retained with the batch record.

The minimum order quantity for a kids oral spray is 1,000 units per SKU, depending on bottle size and pump type. Pilot runs of 1,000 to 2,000 units are available for brands that need market samples before committing to a full batch, with a surcharge that is credited against the first mass-production order. Samples are produced in 7 to 10 working days after artwork and formula approval, and are shipped by courier with a COA and a material safety data sheet. Sample cost is refundable on the first mass-production order above 10,000 units.

Mass production runs 20 to 35 working days after sample approval, with the exact window confirmed once the pump and bottle are in stock. Line capacity is up to 120,000 units per day across two paediatric lines, so a 50,000-unit order is typically completed within one week of line start. If the brand supplies its own components, an incoming inspection of 24 to 48 hours is added to the schedule. Peak season (August to November) adds 5 to 7 working days, and this is flagged at quotation stage.

Shipping options are air freight (5 to 8 days door to door), sea freight (25 to 35 days to US West Coast, 28 to 38 days to EU ports) and rail to Europe (18 to 22 days). Incoterms offered are EXW, FOB Shenzhen or Hong Kong, CIF and DDP for the US, EU, UK and GCC. DDP pricing includes duty, clearance and last-mile delivery to a single address, and is quoted per shipment. Air freight is recommended for launches under 5,000 units, while sea freight is used for repeat orders above 20,000 units.

The document pack issued with each shipment includes the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, COA, MSDS, free-sale certificate and, where the destination requires it, a phytosanitary certificate for botanical ingredients or a halal certificate for the relevant SKU. A certificate of conformity to the EU food supplement directive is issued for European orders. Documents are sent by email within 48 hours of shipment and the originals follow by courier where a hard copy is required for customs.
