What determines the price
Nutrade does not publish a fixed price list. Price depends on multiple project-specific factors that are confirmed during scoping:
- Formula complexity and number of active ingredients
- Active load and ingredient cost
- Gummy weight, serving size and dosage form
- Packaging format: PET jar, stand-up pouch or wide-mouth jar
- Label, printing and coding requirements
- Lab-testing and documentation scope
- Order volume and production run size
- Production route (white label vs private label)
- Logistics, shipping and target-market documentation
Production timeline
The regular project lead time is 8 weeks from receipt of payment and final artwork approval. Actual production takes around 30 days and is already included in this period. Product direction, packaging and artwork are finalised before this period starts. Typical project steps:
- Product direction and formulation review
- Packaging and format decisions
- Artwork, label design and claim review
- Documentation preparation
- Production slot scheduling
- Manufacturing, filling, packaging, labeling and coding
- Quality checks and lab-testing coordination
- Logistics and shipping
Standard MOQ vs professional test production
10,000 units is the standard MOQ for gummies — for white label (existing tested formulas, standard packaging, your brand label applied, faster) and for private label (custom formulation development, bespoke active profiles, proprietary positioning, more setup and development time).
Smaller productions from 1,000 units are only possible as professional test productions. They are intended for market testing and proof-of-concept production before scaling to the standard MOQ.
Commercial recommendation
- Founders, creators and DTC startups may start with white label to validate the market
- Established brands, retailers and pharmacy chains typically need private label for differentiation
- Brands with tight budgets or aggressive timelines should consider white label first
- Do not start with the most complex formula if budget or timing is not ready
- Scale into private label once market traction confirms the business case
