FAQ’s

Do you have a question?

Our end-to-end OEM/ODM services cover formulation R&D, pilot testing, full-scale production, and custom packaging, ensuring compliance with international standards such as GMP, ISO, and FDA. Whether you’re launching a new supplement or scaling an existing product, we deliver tailored softgel solutions that meet global market demands and regulatory requirements.

We specialize in softgels designed for liquid, oil, and suspension formulations. Our offerings include standard gelatin softgels, vegetarian/vegan softgels (using plant-based materials like carrageenan or HPMC), enteric-coated softgels for targeted release, sustained-release softgels, and microencapsulated softgels for sensitive actives. We produce various shapes (oval, round, oblong) and sizes to accommodate different dosages and improve swallowability, ideal for products like Omega-3, CBD, and fat-soluble vitamins.

We offer packaging specifically designed to protect softgels from moisture and oxidation, including HDPE/PET bottles with desiccants, blister packs (PVC/PVdC), and custom cartons. For sensitive formulations, we provide nitrogen-flushed bottles and light-proof packaging materials. We also support private label design and printing for all packaging components to align with your brand identity.

Our MOQ is 300,000 softgels for standard gelatin formulations. For vegetarian/vegan softgels, custom shapes, or specialized fillings (like probiotics or high-potency oils), the MOQ is typically 500,000 units due to the unique production setup and stability requirements. We can discuss flexible options for pilot batches to support your product development phase.

Standard softgel orders take 35–40 working days from formula confirmation to delivery. This includes critical steps like gelatin shell preparation, encapsulation, tumbling, drying (24–72 hours), polishing, packaging, and final comprehensive testing (including disintegration and dissolution rates). Rush production can be arranged for urgent orders, subject to production capacity and may involve additional costs.
