Our Contract Blending and Packaging Process
Our process is structured, transparent and designed to remove uncertainty.
1. Consultation and Product Review
We assess your product type, formulation, blend requirements, packaging format and production goals.
2. Ingredient Sourcing and Preparation
Ingredients are sourced from approved suppliers or received to specification, then prepared for blending under controlled conditions.
3. Contract Dry Powder Blending
Our contract dry powder blending process is designed to achieve consistent distribution of ingredients across every batch.
4. Quality Checks and Batch Controls
Blends are checked against agreed specifications, with documentation and traceability maintained throughout production.
5. Packaging Setup
Packaging formats, fill weights, labelling requirements and finishing specifications are confirmed prior to packing.
6. Filling, Packing and Labelling
Products are filled, packed and labelled according to approved specifications and regulatory requirements.
7. Final Quality Assurance and Dispatch
Finished goods undergo final checks before being prepared for delivery to your nominated warehouse or distribution partner.
Timelines vary depending on product complexity, ingredient availability, packaging format and batch size.
Minimum Production Volumes
As a general guide, NutraLabs production minimums are approximately:
- 3,000 units per production run, or
- 1 tonne per flavour per product
Smaller runs may be considered depending on the blend size, product format and packaging requirements. For example, 3,000 small 5g sachets may not meet practical blend minimums. Final minimums are confirmed during consultation.
