Custom Gummy Development & Scale-Up

Choose a Starting Point for Your Project

Start with an existing formula, adapt a formula, or develop a new concept. We’ll help you choose the route that fits your goals and requirements.

Start with an Existing Formula

Choose an existing formula as your starting point and discuss ingredients, dose, flavor or other details.

Adapt an Existing Formula

Modify an existing formula to match your target ingredients, dose, taste or market requirements.

Develop a Custom Formula

Create a new gummy formula around your product concept, target actives and product goals.

What We Review Before Developing Samples

We review your product requirements together to balance formulation, taste, manufacturability and commercial needs.

Ingredients and Dose

Review active ingredients, target dose and formulation considerations such as stability or interactions.

Gummy Size and Serving Count

Align on gummy weight, size, shape and the number of gummies per serving.

Taste and Texture

Consider flavor profile, sweetness and the overall eating experience for your target market.

Base and Sweetener Preferences

Discuss gummy base and sweetener options that fit your formulation and market.

Market and Packaging

Understand your target market, positioning and packaging requirements.

Quantity and Target Cost

Review order quantity and target costs to help define an appropriate project scope.

Know What Your Sample Represents

Different sample types answer different questions. We’ll help identify the sample type that fits your development stage.

Existing Platform Samples

Samples from established formulas. Useful for an initial review of taste, texture and product concepts.

Custom Development Samples

Samples based on your specific formulation brief. Used to review formulation, taste and key product characteristics.

Pilot or Production Trial Samples

Samples made on pilot or production equipment to review manufacturability and readiness before full production.

Sample Information

Sample reference	e.g. SCD-2024-001
Sample type	Platform / Custom / Pilot
Purpose of review	e.g. taste, formula, stability
Differences from your brief	e.g. adjusted sweetener or color
Feedback requested	e.g. texture and overall fit

Sensory approval confirms the qualities reviewed. Ingredient content, shelf life and production readiness require their own agreed checks.

Prepare the Approved Sample for Production

Once a sample is approved, we move into production preparation with clear steps and documentation.

1. Record the Approved Version

Confirm the final sample version and keep a record for production.

2. Review Production Requirements

Check raw materials, processes, equipment and quality requirements.

3. Confirm Changes and Trial Results

Review adjustments and confirm that trial results meet expectations.

4. Finalize the Order Specification

Complete product, packaging and testing specifications for the order.

5. Produce and Review the Batch

Start production and conduct in-process and finished-product review.

What to Confirm Before Production

Approved sample and formula reference
Product specification
Packaging and artwork
Testing and document requirements
Order quantity and schedule

Build Testing and Documentation into the Plan

Testing and documentation are considered throughout development to support product quality and a smoother launch.

During Formula Review

Evaluate ingredient specifications, regulatory status and required testing based on your target market.

During Sample and Packaging Review

Plan product testing and review packaging compatibility and proposed label claims.

Before Batch Release

Perform final quality checks, review required documents and confirm the applicable release requirements.

Plan the Order Quantity and Development Timeline

We confirm a quotation scope and timeline so you can plan your launch with greater clarity.

Order Quantity

MOQ options depend on the product type, format and packaging. The order quantity is confirmed in your quotation.

Development and Sample Costs

Costs vary by formulation complexity, ingredients and testing requirements. We provide a project-specific quotation.

Packaging Preparation

Custom bottles, pouches, labels or cartons may require additional preparation time. We can work with your suppliers or discuss options.

Development Timing

Timelines depend on project complexity, testing requirements and packaging readiness. Timing is confirmed after reviewing your brief.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions about custom gummy development. Contact our team to discuss your project.

While we generally recommend jars or bottles, the ideal choice depends on the specific details of your project.

We offer a variety of packaging formats, including jars/bottles, pouches, and bulk options. For jars and bottles, we provide customizable sizes ranging from 150 mL to over 1000 mL, while pouches offer even greater flexibility. Available materials include PET, PE, and aluminum foil pouches.

For products like creatine gummies, we recommend protection from light, heat, and moisture. Our first choice is opaque black PE jars with high crush resistance. For standard vitamin gummies, our first choice is a sleek 250 mL transparent PET bottle.

Our top recommendations are Creatine Gummies and Magnesium Gummies—both are popular options with high active ingredient content. Other recommended gummies include collagen gummies, vitamin D3K2 gummies, CoQ10 gummies, and ashwagandha gummies. These are highly sought after in the gummy market and cover key functional areas such as sports support, beauty support, bone support, and sleep support—helping you meet the diverse needs of your brand's consumers.

As for flavors, our top recommendations are our signature Sucotond blends: Mango-Pineapple (offering a vibrant, tropical punch) and Mixed Berry (providing a complex, sweet-and-tangy profile). We can also customize any common flavor.

Yes, these are part of our standard product offerings. Depending on your project requirements, we can use sweeteners such as erythritol or maltitol. We offer sugar-free formulations for your project that maintain good texture, sufficient active ingredient content, and stability throughout their normal shelf life.

Additionally, we offer vegan gummies as a standard option. We use pectin as a base, and all other ingredients are verified to be free from animal-derived components, enabling you to make "vegan" claims for your products. To support your clean-label claims, we can assist you in applying for relevant sugar-free or vegan certifications.

You are welcome to provide your own packaging designs; alternatively, as a one-stop service provider, we also offer design services. Once the packaging dimensions for your project are confirmed, we will generate the corresponding dieline files (in Ai or PDF format) for your design team to use. We can also handle the design work ourselves and send the files to you for approval or refinement.

After the design is finalized and we receive the files, we will proceed to create physical packaging samples. If you are working under a tight deadline, we can also quickly create paper mockups and confirm them with you via a remote video call. Once the packaging samples are approved, they will be added to your project's master specifications, and we will then schedule production.

We categorize the main types of gummies by ingredients, functional benefits, and target consumers. Examples include creatine or magnesium gummies, sleep-support or hair-health gummies, and gummies for women or children. These categories guide consumers' choices. You can use these categories to develop products based on your project plan and tailored to your target consumers.

Often, these categories are combined. For instance, if your project targets women aged 50 and over, we recommend creatine gummies for healthy aging—specifically, our D3/K2 Creatine Gummies, formulated for this target group. If you have other concepts in mind for your brand, we would be happy to discuss them with you.
