Supplement Packaging

Compliant cartons, bottle boxes and direct-mail packs.

Supplement packaging has to communicate trust, carry regulated copy, and survive DTC shipping. We produce tuck-end cartons, bottle boxes and subscription mailers for supplement brands. Supplement buyers operate in a regulated space: FDA and FTC labeling requirements are non-negotiable. DTC shipping means every carton must survive drops and temperature swings. Typical order runs are 1,000-5,000 units for DTC-only brands and 10,000-50,000 for brands that also ship to retail accounts. MOQ is 1,000 units for tuck-end cartons and 2,000 for corrugated mailers. Lead time is 15-25 working days from sample approval; orders requesting third-party GMP facility handling add a week of certification cycle. Common pain points include regulatory copy that re-typesets incorrectly after FDA review, shipping cartons that fail when dropped from a courier conveyor, and tamper-evident seals that are easy to open without breaking the box. We address these by proofing regulatory copy through a dedicated review pass, providing drop-tested mailer samples before bulk production, and sealing every pack with visible, compliant tamper-evident tape.
