  • Can you print labels for us? More

    Yes, we can print labels for you upon request. We provide you with the tools to create your label. Supplement Factory’s technical and quality team will check all label artwork for compliance within the UK, EU and rest of the world before approving a label to print.

Working With Us FAQ

  • Will you tell me if what I am asking for cannot be made? More

    Yes. Constraints turn up in different places depending on the product. A dosage that works in a capsule may not fit a tablet. Some actives do not survive a gummy process. A pack format may not hold the fill weight you have in mind. And every market has its own rules on permitted ingredients, permitted levels and what you are allowed to claim.

    Where your brief runs into one of those, we will say so rather than quote around it, and set out what would need to change for it to work. That is a far shorter conversation than finding the problem at production.

  • Who will I actually be dealing with? More

    Our technical team is PhD-led, and you can see exactly who they are. Our formulation scientists are listed by name on this site, with their qualifications and backgrounds, so you know whose expertise sits behind your product.

    That matters most if your product is technically demanding, or if you have a scientific background yourself and want to go into the detail. One client, a doctor, described what he valued as “the openness and expertise your team has brought to the project.” (Project 691)

  • How involved will I be once a project starts? More

    More than most people expect. You set the brief and the budget, you approve a sample before anything is manufactured, and you sign off the specification that the batch is then produced against. Sampling is standard on every project rather than something you have to ask for.

    There are no setup fees at any stage, for custom formulation or for private label. Timings depend on format and complexity, so talk to us about timings for your project.

  • What does a finished project look like? More

    A finished project is a product you have approved and are ready to launch. You sign off a sample before manufacture, the batch is produced to that agreed specification, and your formula remains yours, protected by a non-disclosure agreement signed by both parties.

    One client said at the end of their project: “It’s been great working with you all and think we’ve developed an amazing product. Can’t wait to get it out there.” (Project 474)
