True Turnkey Service

Some contract manufacturers require you to source your own raw ingredients, packaging, and labels, then coordinate delivery to their facility. That is a lot of logistics for a small team to manage.

We handle all of it.

From raw material sourcing to packaging and labeling, we coordinate the entire supply chain. You get a single point of contact, clear timelines, and a finished product ready for market.

What We Coordinate For You

Raw Material Sourcing

We source quality ingredients from vetted suppliers

Formulation & Production

Manufacturing at GMP-certified facilities

Packaging & Labeling

Compliant labels and professional packaging

Quality Control

Testing and verification at every stage

Third-Party Testing

We arrange required third-party testing for compliance

Shipping & Logistics

Delivered to you or your fulfillment center

Our Partner Network Model

We are not a manufacturer. We are your expert guide to manufacturing. Here is how our model works and why it benefits emerging supplement brands.

How It Works

1

You Share Your Vision

Tell us about your product idea, target market, budget, and timeline.

2

We Match You

We select the best manufacturing partner from our vetted network for your specific needs.

3

We Manage Production

We coordinate formulation, sampling, production, and quality control on your behalf.

4

You Launch

Your finished, labeled products ship to you or directly to your fulfillment center.

Why This Model Works

Lower Minimum Orders

Our partner relationships let you start with 1,000 units instead of the 5,000-10,000 most manufacturers require. Test your market before committing big.

Pre-Vetted Partners

We have already done the due diligence. Every manufacturer in our network has passed our certification checks, facility audits, and quality assessments.

Negotiated Pricing

Our volume across multiple brands gives us leverage to negotiate better rates than you would get approaching manufacturers directly as a new brand.

Single Point of Contact

Instead of managing relationships with manufacturers, packagers, labelers, and logistics providers separately, you work with one team: us.

Flexibility to Switch

If a project needs different capabilities, we can move you to another partner in our network without starting the vetting process from scratch.

Regulatory Guidance

Our team understands FDA and Health Canada requirements. We help ensure your products are compliant before they reach the manufacturing floor.

What You Should Know

We believe in transparency. Here are the tradeoffs of working with a partner network model:

We Are Not the Manufacturer

We coordinate and manage, but we do not own the production equipment. For brands wanting direct factory relationships long-term, we can facilitate introductions.

Our Margin Is Built In

We are transparent about this: our fees are included in the pricing we quote. You are paying for our expertise, vetting, and management on top of raw manufacturing costs.

Communication Goes Through Us

You work with our team, not directly with the manufacturing facility. Some of our partners are not client-facing, which is why we have this partnership.

Nutricraft vs. Going Direct

How does working with us compare to approaching manufacturers on your own?

Factor With Nutricraft Going Direct
Minimum Order 1,000 units 5,000-10,000+ units typically
Vetting Required Already done by us You handle facility audits, cert verification
Regulatory Guidance Included (FDA, Health Canada) Hire separately or DIY
Negotiating Power Our volume across brands Your volume only
If Problems Arise We advocate on your behalf You handle directly
Cost Our margin built into pricing Direct pricing (but higher MOQs)
Best For New brands, low-volume, wanting guidance Established brands with high volume
