Supplement Packaging FAQ: Custom Formats & Design | FORNUTRA

FORNUTRA can design and print multi-language labels from your confirmed text and provide formula, nutrition, production, and packaging technical documents. Mandatory items, languages, and health claims differ by European market and are confirmed separately; translation and final compliance should be reviewed by the importer or local consultant. A unified master visual with variable language versions improves multi-market packaging efficiency.FORNUTRA grounds this in one-stop packaging and a design and regulatory team, with design, regulatory documents, materials, and production managed together to replicate versions across markets.For you, this means keeping brand consistency while lowering the cost of repeated multilingual packaging development, through Packaging Design Services and our Turnkey CDMO Solution.

Packaging and carton specs can be optimized around product weight, bottle or pouch type, units per carton, destination warehouse requirements, and shipping method. FORNUTRA supports sticks, sachets, cans, pouches, bottles, cups, and shaped pouches, considering sealing, moisture protection, leak prevention, volumetric weight, and shelf display during product development. Final shipping quotes should clarify trade terms and insurance liability.FORNUTRA grounds this in one-stop project management, a design team, and multiple packaging formats, so Packaging Design Services, materials, production, and logistics are coordinated by the same project team rather than handled after the product is finished.For you, this means lower unit inbound cost, lower damage rates, and reduced platform storage fees, whether you ship Powder Supplement Manufacturer products or a full Turnkey CDMO Solution.

Before packaging production begins, customers should confirm the key information that will appear on the packaging, including the product name, Supplement Facts panel, ingredient information, serving size, net contents, directions for use, required warnings, allergen information, and other market-specific labeling requirements.The exact information required may vary depending on the target market and product type. Customers should provide the applicable product and labeling information, while FORNUTRA can review the packaging specifications and help identify potential technical or production issues.It is important to confirm the final packaging content before printing. Changes made after printing has started may require new artwork, reprinting, or additional material arrangements, which can affect project cost and production scheduling.For this reason, we recommend reviewing the formula, label content, artwork, packaging specifications, and target market requirements together before giving final approval for packaging production.

The right packaging size depends on your product format, serving size, fill quantity, dosage form, and the space required for the label and closure. A bottle that works for capsules may not be suitable for gummies or tablets with the same count.When reviewing your packaging requirements, FORNUTRA can evaluate the product specifications and recommend a suitable container size based on the actual fill volume and packaging structure. We can also consider practical factors such as headspace, closure type, label dimensions, and product handling requirements.For powders and stick packs, the packaging size is also affected by fill weight, powder density, serving size, and whether the product is intended for single-use or multi-serving consumption.If you already have a preferred bottle, pouch, jar, or other packaging format, you can provide the dimensions or a reference sample. Our team can review whether it is suitable for your product before packaging materials are finalized.This early review helps reduce packaging mismatches and unnecessary changes before production.

Yes. Packaging samples or proofs can be reviewed before bulk packaging production, depending on the packaging format and project requirements.The pre-production review allows customers to check important details such as packaging appearance, label placement, artwork, colors, dimensions, product information, and the overall presentation of the finished packaging. For customized packaging, FORNUTRA coordinates the relevant technical and production details with packaging suppliers before bulk production. Customers can review the applicable proof or sample and provide feedback before the packaging is finalized. If changes are required, they should be communicated during the approval stage so that the artwork or packaging specifications can be adjusted in time.Once the packaging details and artwork have been approved, bulk production can proceed according to the confirmed specifications. Reviewing packaging in advance helps customers identify potential issues early, reduces the risk of unnecessary changes after production begins, and provides greater confidence that the final packaging will match the approved design and product requirements.

Packaging Design and Artwork Requirements You have three paths for packaging artwork, depending on your design resources: Option 1 — You supply print-ready artwork: The most common path. You provide design files in the required format; we provide technical specifications (dieline, bleed, color profile, barcode placement) and manage print production. You receive a printer's proof for final approval before bulk printing. Option 2 — Design support through our network: If you have a concept but no finished artwork, we can connect you with freelance designers and agencies experienced in supplement packaging. They work for you, keeping creative control and intellectual property with you. We provide the technical brief and review output for print compatibility. Option 3 — Simple label programs: For clients launching a minimum-viable product or testing a market, we offer a streamlined label option — you provide the brand name, product name, and key information; we produce a clean, compliant label using a standardized layout. Technical Artwork SpecificationsFile FormatAdobe Illustrator (AI) or PDF with all fonts outlined. CMYK color mode.Resolution300 DPI minimum at 100% size for all images and graphics.Bleed & Margins3 mm bleed on all sides. Text and critical elements minimum 3 mm from trim edge.BarcodeEAN/UPC barcode with sufficient quiet zone. We provide barcode placement specifications.What you must provide regardless of design path: Supplement Facts panel data, ingredient list, and any required warning or allergen statements. We can advise on regulatory formatting, but the content of mandatory declarations must come from you or your regulatory consultant. Need customized supplement packaging for your brand?
