Let's say your vitamin product formulation is ready, and now you need to expedite your product turnover time without compromising on product quality. In an instant, manufacturing is now your high priority. You need guarantee of quick availability of raw materials and capacity of production units. You need a Vitamin manufacturing expert with a leading edge in these areas.

Does your vitamin manufacturing partner keep an inventory stocked with large quantities of the raw materials you need, at any given time? What is their turnaround time on capsules, tablets, and powders? What is their capacity? What kind of delivery schedule do they offer?

Consider that serious vitamin manufacturing companies can turn around tablet compression at the rate of 25 million per day; tablet coating at say 9 million per day; powder blending at 35,000 KG per day; encapsulation at 9 million per day; bottling at 150,000 units daily; powder filling at 45,000 units per day; blister packaging at 200,000 per day.

Is your packaging going to be standard sizing, easily available? Do you ...
... want a jar, bottle, blister package, carton, packet, strip package, pouch, single dose, multi-dose or powder dose? How will it be finished? Will you need induction sealing? Shrink wrapping? Display boxes? Fold cartons? Is your custom-designed idea too difficult to manufacture? Is your batch production small or large? Are there unpleasant odors that you need to get rid of?

Now let's talk about labeling. Your product label is the first point of contact between your product and the potential customer. Label design and packaging is an absolutely vital promotional tool for your products. Does your vitamin manufacturer have a team of professional, in-house graphic designers and artists that can help you create a winning logo, design attractive labels and help you choose ‘pick-me-up' color concepts that will make the products fly off the shelves?

And after the label razzle-dazzle part is over, you need to get busy with the practical matters that are vital for FDA approval. The labels on your finished product must be compliant to FDA rules and regulations for dietary supplements. They must include supplement facts and all necessary disclaimers. Safety seals, neck bands and child-resistant caps must also be taken into consideration. Expiration dates must be printed on all finished products.
