A clear process from inquiry to production
Private label supplement production is a multi-step process. Brands that understand the steps can plan budgets, timelines and launches more effectively. This page explains how the Nutrade private label process works from first inquiry to finished product.
Nutrade is PAYK GROUP’s R&D and production segment for food supplements, specializing in vitamin gummies and functional supplements; the business address is in Düsseldorf. GMP, HACCP and ISO 9001:2015 are own Nutrade/PAYK quality credentials: GMP evidence, a HACCP-based hygiene and food-safety concept and ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management.

Process overview: 10 steps to finished product
- Step 1 — Project inquiry: share your brand idea, target market, volume and product direction
- Step 2 — Product direction: Nutrade confirms feasibility, format and formula approach
- Step 3 — Formulation review: active ingredients, dosages, taste, texture and compliance review
- Step 4 — Format and packaging decision: PET jar, stand-up pouch, wide-mouth jar or other
- Step 5 — Commercial setup: offer, MOQ confirmation, timeline and terms
- Step 6 — Artwork, label and claim review: label design, mandatory information, claim-safe copy
- Step 7 — Documentation and lab-testing support: COA preparation, batch documentation setup
- Step 8 — Production: manufacturing by Nutrade in certified production (Made in Germany on request)
- Step 9 — Filling, packaging, labeling and coding: finished-product completion
- Step 10 — Project handover and logistics: shipment, documentation delivery, project close
Private label vs white label process
Private label means custom formulation and stronger brand ownership (gummies from 10,000 units). The process is longer because formulation development, testing and documentation require more steps.
White label means standard formulations and faster market entry (gummies also from 10,000 units; professional test production from 1,000 units). The process is shorter because the formula already exists — you add your brand label to proven recipes.
