Turmeric Gummy Manufacturer for Private Label Brands

The Guangdong plant runs two dedicated gummy lines with a combined output of 1.2 million units per day. Turmeric gummies are deposited in 2.5-5 ml moulds, dried in controlled humidity tunnels, then polished and packed. Standard bottle sizes are 60, 90 and 120 count. We handle sugar-free, low-sugar and full-sugar recipes on the same line with validated changeover procedures. Each SKU runs on a single line to avoid cross-contamination.

Pilot runs start at 500 units for formulation trials, then scale to the 1,000-unit retail MOQ. Line capacity allows 500,000 units per week for a single turmeric SKU. Packaging options include HDPE bottles, PET jars, stick packs and blister packs. We can label and shrink-wrap for retail, or bulk-pack for repackaging in your market. Lead times hold at 20-35 working days for orders up to 200,000 units.

Curcumin has low bioavailability. We formulate with 95% curcuminoid extract and add piperine from black pepper at a 1:100 ratio, or use phytosome curcumin for higher absorption. Typical doses are 50 mg, 100 mg or 250 mg curcuminoids per gummy. Pectin bases suit vegan and halal claims; gelatin gives a chewier texture. Natural orange, mango and lemon flavours mask the earthy turmeric note without synthetic masking agents.

Stability is the main challenge. Curcumin can degrade in the presence of ascorbic acid or high moisture. We use a low-water-activity pectin formula (0.55-0.65) and nitrogen-flush packaging to protect potency. Accelerated stability testing runs for 3 months at 40°C/75% RH, with real-time data at 25°C/60% RH for 24 months. We supply a certificate of analysis per batch showing curcumin content, piperine level and microbial results.

The facility is GMP-certified, ISO 22000 and HACCP registered. We hold halal and vegan certifications. Every turmeric gummy batch is tested for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury), microbials, and curcumin potency by HPLC. We provide a certificate of analysis, MSDS and allergen statement. The plant is FDA-registered for US exports, which supports your prior notice filing.

Shipping runs from Shenzhen and Hong Kong ports. We handle FOB, CIF and DDP terms. Air freight for pilot runs takes 5-8 days; sea freight for full containers takes 18-25 days to US West Coast, 28-35 days to EU ports. We prepare export documents including commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. MOQ for custom label and bottle design is 1,000 units; stock bottles with custom labels start at 1,000 units.

Every turmeric gummy batch is sampled at three points: incoming raw material, in-process gummy mass, and finished product. Identity testing of the 95% curcuminoid extract uses HPLC against a reference standard, with potency expressed as total curcuminoids. Microbial testing covers total plate count, yeast and mould, E. coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus. Heavy metals are screened by ICP-MS for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury against the limits in EU 2023/915 and US 21 CFR 111. Disintegration testing follows USP <2040> for gelatin and pectin matrices, with a target of under 30 minutes in purified water at 37°C.

A certificate of analysis (COA) is issued per batch and contains the product name, batch number, manufacturing date, expiry date, starting material lot, test parameters, specification limits, results, test methods and the analyst and QA sign-off. Curcumin potency results are reported in mg per gummy and as a percentage of label claim, with an acceptance range of 90-110%. Microbiological results are reported in CFU/g with the method reference. The COA is available in PDF within 48 hours of batch release and can be issued in English, Chinese or a bilingual format for customs.

Retention samples of every batch are stored at 25°C/60% RH and 30°C/65% RH for the full shelf life plus 12 months. A stability protocol covers 0, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months, testing appearance, texture, curcumin potency, moisture, microbials and disintegration. Accelerated conditions at 40°C/75% RH for six months are run for new formulations. If a batch drifts below 90% of label claim before expiry, the formulation is adjusted for overage or the shelf life is shortened. Stability reports are shared with the buyer before commercial production.

In-process controls run every 30 minutes during depositing: gummy weight, colour, texture and pH of the gummy mass. Metal detection is installed on the packaging line with a 2.0 mm ferrous, 2.5 mm non-ferrous and 3.0 mm stainless steel rejection threshold. Allergen changeover requires a validated cleaning procedure with swab testing for the previous product. Batch records are retained for five years and are available for buyer audit, either on-site or as a document review.

Turmeric gummies are packed in HDPE bottles with induction seals and child-resistant or standard screw caps, in sizes from 60 cc to 500 cc. Blister packing is available for pharmacy channels, and stick packs or sachets are offered for single-serve formats. Bottle labels are supplied on rolls and applied inline, with lot number and expiry date printed by inkjet or laser. Cartons are specified to the buyer's retail requirements, with standard configurations of 12, 24 or 48 bottles per shipper. Pallet patterns are designed for 1,200 x 1,000 mm and 1,200 x 800 mm pallets, with stretch wrapping and corner boards for export.

For US dietary supplement labels, the principal display panel must carry the statement of identity, net quantity and, where applicable, the supplement facts panel with curcumin content per serving. The label also needs the 'Distributed by' or 'Manufactured for' statement, ingredient list, allergen declaration, and storage instructions. EU labels require nutrition and health claims to comply with Regulation 1924/2006, with no disease claims. The factory provides artwork templates with dieline dimensions and can review buyer-supplied artwork for mandatory elements before printing.

Lot and expiry coding follows the buyer's format, with Julian or calendar date options. For Amazon FBA, the factory can apply FNSKU labels, poly-bag the bottles and print the required suffocation warning where applicable. Retail compliance support includes barcode verification (UPC/EAN), carton marking, and packing lists that match the ASN. The factory does not act as importer of record but can coordinate with the buyer's freight forwarder for direct-to-warehouse delivery.

Sampling starts with a 7-10 working day turnaround for a stock formula in the buyer's chosen flavour and colour. Custom formulations with a new curcumin extract or a new base require 12-15 working days. Samples are shipped by courier at the buyer's account, with a COA and a specification sheet. Sample fees are credited against the first mass production order when the order exceeds 10,000 units.

Mass production runs 20-35 working days after sample approval and receipt of the deposit. The window depends on bottle and label lead times, which are typically 10-15 working days for standard stock bottles and 20-25 working days for custom moulds. The MOQ is 1,000 units per SKU for retail bottling, with lower thresholds for pilot runs subject to a setup fee. Production capacity is 500,000 gummies per day across two lines, with scheduling confirmed at order placement.

Air freight is used for pilot runs and replenishment, with a transit time of 5-8 days to the US or EU. Sea freight is used for full-container orders, with transit times of 25-35 days to the US west coast and 30-40 days to Northern Europe. Incoterms offered are EXW, FOB Shenzhen or Hong Kong, and DDP for select destinations. DDP pricing includes duties and customs clearance but excludes destination storage and inspection fees.

Documents provided with each shipment include the COA, material safety data sheet (MSDS), free-sale certificate, and phytosanitary certificate where the destination requires it for plant-derived ingredients. A certificate of origin can be issued for preferential tariff treatment. The factory provides a packing list and commercial invoice that match the shipment, and can support buyer-arranged inspections before container loading.
