Format Guide

Is a softgel the right format for your formula?

Softgels are the format of choice when the active ingredient is oil-soluble, oxygen-sensitive, or simply hard to taste. Omega-3 fish oils, fat-soluble vitamins such as D3 and K2, CoQ10, milk thistle and oregano oil all sit naturally in a sealed shell that keeps the fill away from air and light — no coating, no flavour system, no masking required.

Softgel production runs on its own line inside our Guangzhou facility, so a softgel order does not queue behind dry-format work. We produce traditional gelatin shells as well as vegetarian alternatives, and every batch is released against a specification sheet and certificate of analysis before it leaves the cleanroom.

8 Softgels Formulas Ready for Your Label

Each formula below can be made under your own brand, or used as the starting point for a custom development project.

Best Fit

When a softgels format works best

Match the format to the formula before you commit to tooling, packaging and label artwork.

Oil-soluble actives

Omega-3, vitamin D3, vitamin K2, CoQ10 and astaxanthin dissolve into an oil fill rather than being suspended in a powder blend, so a small unit can carry the dose your label claims.

Oxygen-sensitive ingredients

The shell seals the fill from air, which helps maintain potency across shelf life for oils that oxidise readily.

Bitter or strong-tasting actives

A sealed softgel removes the taste problem entirely, so no flavour or sweetener system is needed.

Easy-to-swallow positioning

A smooth oval shape and slippery surface are easier to swallow than a large tablet — useful for older consumers and for daily-use ranges.

One-piece construction

No powder fill, no banding and no two-piece shell — a simpler unit to bottle and to label.

Frequently Asked

Softgels manufacturing FAQ

The questions supplement brand owners ask us most often about this format.

What is the minimum order quantity for private label softgels?

Low-MOQ projects start from 500–1,000 units per formula, so a softgel range can be test-launched with a single small run before you scale. Ask us for a quote at your target volume and we will confirm the exact MOQ for your formula and shell.

Can you make vegetarian softgels?

Yes. Vegetarian shell systems are available alongside traditional gelatin shells, and both can run inside one project — useful for brands that want a gelatin-free SKU next to a standard one.

How long does a private label softgel project take?

Samples are produced 7–10 days after the formula is confirmed. Bulk production then runs 15–25 days. Ocean freight to North America adds 18–25 days, or 5–8 days by air, and we ship DDP domestically from our California warehouse in 2–5 business days.

Do you have stock softgel formulas, or do I need to develop one?

Our library holds 10,000+ in-house formulas across all seven dosage forms, including the softgels listed on this page. You can take one as it stands and apply your brand, or use it as the starting point for an ODM customisation.

Which documents come with a softgel order?

Every batch is released with a certificate of analysis and a specification sheet. Our certification register — FDA food facility registration, cGMP, ISO 22000, HACCP and our group's BRCGS-audited site — is available on request before you place an order.
