MOQ and how we price
Minimum 100 units per SKU, your label free. We do not publish a rate card because in supplements the raw material is the price: the same 60-count gummy can cost 3× more with premium actives. Every quote is built from your formula. The structure is always the same — here it is.
Quantity tiers
| Tier | Who it fits | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| 100 units | First SKU, market test, creator launch | Highest unit price; label free; sample credited; stock packaging only |
| 300 units | Established creator, second run | Unit price drops as setup, label and freight spread over more units; exact step depends on the formula |
| 500 units | Amazon / TikTok Shop brand | Custom formula tier opens; packaging upgrades cost less per unit |
| 1,000+ units | Multi-SKU brand, distributor | Lowest unit price; sea freight makes sense; custom packaging usually opens here, depending on complexity — custom bottles, moulds, printed cartons, sleeves |
What drives cost per unit
Actives and dose
The biggest factor. High-dose creatine, mushroom extracts and shilajit cost several times a basic multivitamin.
Count and format
80-count vs 30-count; gummy vs capsule; glass dropper vs PET.
Packaging
PET bottle is the baseline; jars, boxes and premium pouches add cost, mostly at low quantity.
Testing and freight
Batch COA included. US third-party testing, express vs sea and destination are line items.

What 100 units actually looks like
Short runs are normal here. This is the packing end of the line — the same machines whether the order is 100 units or 10,000.
Frequently asked questions
Why don’t you publish a price list?
Because a 30-count magnesium gummy and an 80-count mushroom gummy differ by 3× in ingredient cost, and packaging choice moves the price again. A list would either mislead or be useless. Instead every quote is built from the actual raw materials in your formula and itemised so you can see exactly what you pay for — and you get it within 24 hours.
Can you really run 100 units on every format?
Yes — gummies, softgels, capsules, tablets, drops, powders, sticks and pet chews all start at 100 units per SKU, in stock packaging with your label. Short runs are our standard operating mode, not an exception.
When is the minimum higher than 100 units?
Packaging is what moves it. Stock packaging — bottle, jar, tub, pouch, dropper bottle, stick pack — runs from 100 units with your printed label. Anything that has to be tooled or printed to order usually starts at around 1,000 units, depending on how complex it is — we confirm the exact minimum once we see your design: custom-shaped bottles or jars, custom gummy moulds, printed cartons and boxes, custom pouch printing, shrink sleeves and foil stamping. The formula minimum does not change; only the packaging does.
Is there a sample fee?
Yes, a small fee covering materials and courier. It is credited back on your first bulk order.
Payment terms?
50% deposit at order, 50% before shipment. Bank transfer, and card via Stripe or PayPal for sample fees and smaller orders.
Do prices include shipping?
No, freight is a separate line so you can see it. We ship delivered duty paid by air (8–12 days) or by sea (18–45 days depending on the lane), into your address, your 3PL or Amazon FBA. Use the shipping cost estimator to see roughly what it adds per unit before you ask for a quote. Those figures are estimates for budgeting — rates move monthly, so the real number is confirmed with the forwarder when you order.
Are there hidden fees?
No setup fee, no label fee, no plate fee for standard label printing. Custom molds, custom boxes and third-party US lab tests are quoted as separate line items when you ask for them.
