Supplement co-packing
A supplement co-packer that makes it and packs it
Bring your formula or start from one of ours: gummies, tablets, capsules, stick packs and powders, made for your brand, then bottled, sealed, labeled and case-packed.
What does a supplement co-packer do?
A co-packer, or contract packer, makes and packages a product under someone else's brand. In supplements the words overlap: a co-manufacturer, or co-man, makes the product from a formula, a co-packer fills and packs it, and many brands want one partner that does both. That partner takes your formula, or one of theirs, makes the gummies, tablets, capsules, stick packs or powders, then counts or fills them into bottles, pouches or sticks, seals, labels and case-packs them for shipment.
The handoffs are where projects slip. When the maker and the packer are different companies, bulk product waits on packaging, labels arrive late and nobody owns the launch date. At MCM Labs formulation, production and pack-out are planned as one project: packaging is ordered while the formula is finalized, the label is checked with you before anything is made, and finished product is case-packed and shipped to you or your fulfillment partner.

How to choose a supplement co-packer
To choose a supplement co-packer, first decide what you need: packing only, or making and packing. If you need the product made too, ask which formats they make for your dose, whether they can start from your formula or a ready-to-brand one, and who on their team reviews it. Ask which packages they fill, whether they add a desiccant and how they seal. Ask when packaging is ordered, since bottles, film and labels often set the launch date. Ask for the certificate of analysis (COA) from the production batch. Get minimums and a starting-run quote in writing, and check that finished product is case-packed and shipped to you or your fulfillment partner. MCM Labs co-packs gummies, tablets, capsules, stick packs and powders for brands across the United States.

Questions about supplement co-packing
What is the difference between a co-packer and a co-manufacturer?
A co-manufacturer makes the product from a formula. A co-packer fills and packages it. The terms are often used interchangeably, and many brands want one partner that does both, which is what we do.
Can you use packaging I supply?
Yes. We can pack into client-supplied bottles, pouches and labels, or source the packaging for you.
Do you offer fulfillment?
We case-pack and ship finished product to you or to your fulfillment or Amazon prep partner. Tell us how you sell and we will set up the pack-out for that channel.
Can you work with my formula?
Yes. Send the formula and a sample if you have one. Our chemist reviews it before anything is quoted, and tells you if a different format would carry your dose better.
What is the minimum order?
Minimums depend on the format, the formula and the packaging, so they are set per proposal. Send a brief with your expected volume and we will quote a starting run.
