Sea Moss Gummy Manufacturer for Retail-Ready SKUs

Sea moss gummies run on the same depositing lines as our standard pectin and gelatin formats. Two lines handle up to 1.2 million gummies per day, with starch-mould and metal-mould options. We dose Irish moss extract at 100–500 mg per gummy, depending on your label claim. Fill weights sit between 2.0 g and 4.5 g. If your formula includes additional actives such as elderberry, zinc or vitamin C, we adjust the base to keep the texture stable over a 24-month shelf life.

Pilot runs start below the standard 1,000-unit MOQ so you can test three flavour directions before a full batch. Our team runs a small-scale cook, checks gummy hardness and water activity, then sends samples in 7–10 working days. Once you approve a sample, we lock the formula, the mould and the packaging spec. Mass production then runs 20–35 working days, including QC release and packing into bottles, pouches or stick packs.

Irish moss extract is a hydrocolloid, so it affects gel strength and mouthfeel. We balance it against pectin or gelatin, then add citric acid and natural flavours to mask the seaweed note. Common profiles are mango, berry and citrus. You can choose a vegan pectin base or a gelatin base. For halal claims, we source gelatin from certified suppliers and keep separate production windows. Organic and options require approved ingredient lots and a documented chain of custody.

Each gummy can carry 100–500 mg of sea moss extract. We also blend in vitamin C, zinc, elderberry or biotin without changing the 2.0–4.5 g fill weight. Sugar-free versions use maltitol or allulose, though texture needs a higher pectin ratio. We test water activity, hardness and microbial load on every batch. If you need a specific label claim, our team reviews the formula against your target market before the first sample is cooked.

This is a GMP-certified facility, registered with the FDA for dietary supplements. We hold ISO 22000 and HACCP. halal and vegan certifications are available where the formula and supply chain support them. Every batch carries a certificate of analysis covering identity, potency, microbials and heavy metals. We retain samples for 24 months. Documentation for EU, UK, US and Middle East import is prepared before shipment, including health certificates and free-sale certificates where required.

Shipping runs from Guangdong. We pack retail bottles, pouches and stick packs, then palletise for FCL or LCL. Typical transit is 18–25 days to the US west coast, 25–35 days to Europe, and 12–20 days to Middle East ports. We handle labelling artwork review, barcode placement and carton marking. For repeat orders, we hold your mould and formula for 24 months, so reorders skip sample approval and move straight to a 20–35 day production window.

Every sea moss gummy batch is tested against a written specification before release. Incoming Irish moss extract is checked for identity by FTIR or HPLC fingerprint, and for potency where a standardised polysaccharide or iodine level is claimed. Pectin and gelatin bases are tested for gel strength and moisture. Finished gummies are tested for microbials (total plate count, yeast and mould, E. coli, Salmonella), heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) and disintegration time, typically within 30 to 60 minutes depending on the base.

Testing happens at three points: raw material receipt, in-process during depositing and drying, and finished product before packing. In-process checks cover brix, pH, depositing weight and drying tunnel temperature. A batch is held if any result falls outside the agreed limits. We do not release a sea moss gummy batch without a signed certificate of analysis covering all specified parameters.

The COA lists batch number, production date, expiry date, test parameters, specification limits, results and the method used. It also states the testing laboratory and whether the test was in-house or third-party. We retain samples from every batch for 24 months in a temperature-controlled archive, so a customer can request a re-test if a market authority raises a question.

Stability follows a standard protocol: accelerated conditions at 40°C and 75% relative humidity for six months, with checks at zero, one, two, three and six months for appearance, texture, moisture, microbials and potency. Real-time studies at 25°C and 60% relative humidity run in parallel for 24 months. Results support the shelf life printed on the label, which is typically 18 to 24 months for pectin-based sea moss gummies.

Sea moss gummies can be packed in HDPE or PET bottles with induction seals, blister packs, stick packs or single-serve sachets. Bottle sizes range from 60 cc to 500 cc, with typical fill counts of 30, 60 or 90 gummies. We can apply desiccant sachets, child-resistant closures or tamper-evident bands. Stick packs and sachets suit sample or travel formats and run at lower MOQs than bottles.

For the US market, the label must carry a Supplement Facts panel with serving size, amount per serving and % Daily Value where applicable, plus a complete ingredient list in descending order of weight. Allergen declarations, the manufacturer or distributor address, and a lot code and expiry date are required. We print lot and expiry by inkjet or laser on the bottle base or neck, and can add QR codes linking to your COA or landing page.

Cartons are specified by gummies per bottle, bottles per carton and cartons per pallet. A standard export carton holds 24 to 48 bottles, and a pallet holds 48 to 60 cartons depending on bottle size. We can print Amazon FNSKU labels, poly-bag bottles for retail compliance, and apply suffocation warnings where required. For EU retail, we can add the responsible person address and the nutrition declaration in the required format.

Before mass production, we supply a dieline and label artwork template so your designer can check panel dimensions and bleed. A pre-production proof is produced on the actual substrate and sent for approval. This step catches font size, barcode placement and Supplement Facts formatting issues before the full run, which avoids rework and label waste on a 5,000-unit order.

The sample timeline starts with a brief covering base type, flavour, actives, fill weight and packaging. We produce a lab-scale sample in 7 to 10 working days, and a pilot batch of 500 to 1,000 units in 12 to 15 working days if a production trial is needed. Sample costs are credited against the first mass-production order in most cases.

Mass production runs 20 to 35 working days after sample approval and receipt of deposit. This window covers raw material procurement, depositing, drying, testing and packing. Sea moss extract lead time can add 5 to 7 days if a specific standardised grade is required. We confirm the production slot in writing once the deposit is received and the artwork is approved.

For delivery, we offer EXW, FOB Shenzhen or Hong Kong, and DDP for select destinations. Air freight takes 5 to 10 days door to door and suits pilot or replenishment orders. Sea freight takes 25 to 40 days depending on port and routing, and is more economical above 500 kg. We provide a packing list, commercial invoice, COA, MSDS and, where required, a free-sale certificate and phytosanitary certificate for plant-derived ingredients.

Shipping documents are issued within 3 working days of dispatch. For DDP shipments, we handle customs clearance and import duties, and provide the delivery note and proof of delivery. Customers receive tracking details and can request a pre-shipment sample from the packed batch before the container is sealed.
