Private label gummy manufacturing in the UK

Gummies are one of the fastest-growing supplement formats. This guide walks brands through how private label gummies are formulated, manufactured and packed at our HACCP-controlled facility in Swindon — from first brief to finished goods.

Process

From brief to finished pack, in six controlled steps

01

Brief & formulation

We start with your brief — actives, dosage, positioning, dietary claims. Our formulators translate it into a manufacturable gummy matrix, balancing active load, texture, sweetness and shelf life.

02

Pectin or gelatin system

Pectin gummies suit vegan and plant-based ranges with a softer bite. Gelatin gummies give the classic firm chew and typically carry higher active loads. We help you choose the right base for your brand.

03

Prototype & sensory

Small pilot batches let you evaluate flavour, colour, texture and mouthfeel before committing to a production run. Iterations are quick and documented.

04

Manufacturing

Cooking, dosing, moulding, curing and demoulding under HACCP control. Batch traceability and retained samples on every run.

05

Packaging & finishing

Stand-up pouches and tubs (1000ml, 750ml, 500ml, 250ml) with tamper evidence, desiccant and labelling reviewed against UK and EU requirements.

06

Release & dispatch

Certificate of Analysis, allergen and label review, then release for dispatch from our Swindon facility to your fulfilment partner.

FAQs

What is private label gummy manufacturing?

A contract manufacturer produces gummy supplements under your brand — from formulation and moulding through packaging — so you can launch a gummy line without operating a factory.

Pectin or gelatin — which should I choose?

Pectin is plant-based and suits vegan positioning. Gelatin gives a firmer, classic chew and typically carries higher active loads. We produce both.

What is your minimum order quantity?

MOQs vary by formulation and pack format. Share your brief and we'll return a run size, lead time and indicative pricing.

Are your gummies UK-compliant?

Every batch is manufactured in our FSA-registered Swindon facility under HACCP-controlled processes, with full traceability and a Certificate of Analysis.
