Quick answer: We make private label tablet supplements from a minimum order of 500 bottles. Our group has about 100 tons of annual pressed-tablet capacity. Before production, we review whether your formula presses well, so that you do not pay for a tablet that cracks, crumbles or will not dissolve properly.

When tablets make sense
- High-dose formulas. A tablet holds more active ingredient per unit than a gummy, where actives are limited to about 30% of the gummy weight. See our guide to gummy active ingredient loading limits.
- Mineral, vitamin and botanical products that customers expect as a traditional tablet.
- Count-based retail packaging, where a bottle of tablets is the format the market knows.
- Cost-sensitive products, since tablets are compact and efficient to pack and ship.
If your serving would need five or more tablets, a capsule or powder may suit the product better. We will tell you honestly if another format reduces your launch risk.
Tablet feasibility checklist
| Item | What we check |
|---|---|
| Powder flow | Does the blend feed evenly into the press? |
| Compression | Does the tablet hold its shape without cracking or capping? |
| Active load | Can the dose fit a tablet size that customers can swallow? Large doses may need two or three tablets per serving. |
| Disintegration | Does the tablet break down as expected for the product and market? |
| Coating | Is taste masking, appearance or moisture protection needed? |
| Packaging | Do the bottle, desiccant, seal and carton protect the tablet during shipping? |
How a tablet project runs
- Brief. You share the formula or product goal, serving size, target market and bottle count.
- Feasibility review. We check powder behavior, dose per tablet and whether coating is needed.
- Sample. We make a sample for your approval.
- Approval and production. After you approve the formula and packaging, production usually takes around 15 days.
- Export. We prepare the documents for your destination market and ship EXW, FOB or DDP.
Documents we can provide
Depending on the product and market, we provide ingredient specifications, certificates of analysis (COA) and testing documents, label and artwork support, and export paperwork. Our group holds NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP, FSSC 22000 and Halal certificates.
