Private label tablets

Find a reliable, low MOQ tablet manufacturer.

Tablets are the cheapest cost per dose in the whole category and they hold more active per unit than a capsule. For high volume, price sensitive and multivitamin positions, nothing else competes on landed cost.

Best for

When tablets are the right call

  • High volume mass and value retail, where price per serving decides the shelf
  • Multivitamins and high load mineral formulas
  • Chewables for kids and family lines
  • Effervescent and drink tablets

What you give up

The honest trade offs

Tooling is a real upfront cost and it locks your shape and size. Minimums are higher than capsules. Some actives do not compress well and need binders that complicate a clean label. Taste masking a chewable is proper formulation work.

We would rather tell you this now than after a deposit. Choosing the wrong format is the single most expensive early mistake a brand can make.

Low MOQ is not enough

What a reliable tablet manufacturer looks like.

A low minimum only matters if the product comes back right. These are the things we check before a tablet manufacturer ever sees your brief.

  1. Owns tooling for common shapes, so you do not pay for new punches on a first run.

  2. Coats and tests disintegration, so the tablet breaks down when it should.

  3. Taste masks chewables properly rather than burying bitterness in sugar.

  4. Runs effervescent in a humidity controlled room, which most tablet floors do not have.

Where it sells

Channels where tablets perform.

Format and channel should be decided together. A product that wins on Amazon can stall in mass retail, and the reverse.

Mass and value retail

Price per serving wins the shelf, and tablets win on price per serving.

Club

Large counts at low unit cost is exactly the tablet's home ground.

International and export

Durable, compact and stable in transit.

Kids and family

Chewables remain the format parents reach for.

Questions

Tablets, answered.

What is the minimum order for private label tablets?

5,000 to 25,000 units depending on tooling and coating. Starting from an existing formula keeps minimums lowest. We will tell you honestly where a manufacturer's real minimum sits, which is often different from the number on its website.

How long does tablet manufacturing take?

6 to 10 weeks. The biggest variable is usually packaging and label approval rather than production itself, so we start that work in parallel.

How do I find a reliable tablet manufacturer?

Ask for the real minimum per SKU, a sample before a deposit, and a certificate of analysis from a recent batch, and check the points on this page. Or send us a brief, because that qualification is the work we do every day.

Can I start on a stock formula and move to custom later?

Yes, and for most brands that is the right order. Launch on a proven formula with your label, learn what sells, then invest in a custom formulation once the volume justifies it.

Do I get specifications and certificates of analysis?

Yes, with every quote. Our manufacturing partners are FDA registered and work to cGMP. NSF, organic, kosher, halal and vegan options are available depending on the line.

Will I know who makes my product?

Yes. You meet the manufacturer once the project is real, at the brief, sample or purchase order stage, and from that point you can vet them yourself: certifications, audit history and a visit if you want one.

Does it cost anything to send a brief?

No. Sending a brief and getting a quote through us costs you nothing.
