HYPERPHARM is a European manufacturer of food supplements under your brand, made in the EU, with more than 500 ready-made formulas in production and new ones added every month. The label, the carton and the printed leaflet are laid out and printed at the plant, or printed from artwork you already have.
Which ready-made formulas can I start with?
More than 500 ready-made formulas are in production, with new ones added every month, and the full list with compositions is sent on request. A ready-made formula starts from 100 units in stock packaging, with production from 2 weeks. Six lines as examples:
- Vitamin D3: softgels of 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 IU, and tablets of vitamin D3 4,000 IU with vitamin K2 100 mcg.
- Omega 3: fish oil softgels, with omega 3-6-9 softgels and flaxseed oil 1000 mg softgels on the same list.
- Magnesium: magnesium and B6 tablets, and magnesium bisglycinate 300 mg capsules.
- Multivitamins: a multi vitamin and mineral tablet, and calcium, magnesium and zinc tablets with D3.
- Probiotics: capsules, acid-resistant on request. A strain set and a CFU count of your own are made too, from 500 bottles as for any formula of your own, and the strain designations can be printed on the pack.
- Vitamin C: vitamin C 1000 mg tablets with bioflavonoids.
A ready-made formula is not reserved for one client, so a formula developed for your brand is the route when the composition itself should set you apart; a formula you bring stays yours. Tell us which of the six you want to see first and the compositions come back with our reply.
Capsules, tablets or softgels: what is the difference for my product?
For a bottle order the difference is the shell, the size and the form of the dose. Send the formula and the dose with the enquiry, and we confirm the form and the size in our reply.
- Tablet: a pressed solid, made up to 25 mm. Effervescent tablets are a separate form and go into tubes.
- Hard capsule: a shell of gelatine or vegan HPMC, in sizes up to 000. Acid-resistant capsules are made for probiotic formulas, described as a property of the capsule.
- Softgel: a shell of bovine gelatine. Fish oil, omega 3-6-9, flaxseed oil and vitamin D3 are among the softgel lines on the ready-made list.
Delayed-release tablets and capsules are made on request, described as a property of the form. Halal certification is arranged for each batch of your product, when your market asks for it; see halal supplements.
Which bottle or jar, and how many to a bottle?
Stock packaging for capsules and tablets is a PET bottle, a glass bottle, a jar or a pouch, and the stock bottle fills are 30, 60, 90 and 120 pcs. Another count, or packaging of your own, is confirmed in our reply together with the quantity and the time.
The label is laid out and printed at the plant, or printed from your finished artwork; only the version you approve is printed. Name the country of sale and the count per bottle in the enquiry, and the artwork is built for them from the first version.
What label language and which documents does my importer need?
The label, the carton and the printed leaflet that goes into the carton follow the label rules of the country of sale, which your importer confirms, and you approve the artwork before anything is printed. Arabic and French labels are described on Arabic and French packaging.
Every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis and a specification. The site is ISO 22000, GMP and HACCP certified and FDA registered, and copies of the certificates, with their numbers, are sent to clients on request. The Certificate of Free Sale, the Certificate of Manufacture, the apostille and consular legalisation are arranged where your market asks for them. Registration in the country of sale is filed by the brand owner or your importer, with these documents. The full list is on export documents; send what your importer has asked for and the matching set comes back with our reply.
Bottle or blister for a hot and humid market?
Either can suit a hot and humid market, and the formula, the pack and the regulator of the country of sale decide which one. In a bottle every opening lets room air reach all the doses still inside, and the barrier depends on the bottle and the closure. In a blister only the cavity pressed open is exposed, and the barrier depends on the film and the lidding foil.
Tablets and capsules in blisters with a printed carton are a separate order: from 2,000 cartons and at least 4,000 blisters, with production from 2 weeks. Name the country of sale in the enquiry, and add any requirement your importer has about stability data in the pack you will sell. The two formats side by side are on blister or bottle, and what to prepare for a hot market is on blister packaging for hot and humid climates.
What does a first order look like for a distributor?
The smallest commitment is a ready-made formula in stock packaging: from 100 units, with production from 2 weeks, labelled for your brand, and a sample of the existing product before you order. That is the smallest start for a first market test.
The next step is your own formula, from 500 bottles per product, with production from 4 weeks and a sample developed first. A repeat order carries the same minimum as the first. HYPERPHARM OÜ has supplied clients in more than 60 countries, among them Nigeria, Libya and the United Arab Emirates. Delivery is worldwide: EXW by default, FCA or DAP on request. The wholesale terms are on for distributors, and every format with its minimum and time is on supplement formats.
What does each choice change in run size, time and risk?
Each line shows what a choice costs you in quantity, time or risk.
