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 manufacture through a network of GMP-certified partner facilities. That is how we deliver low minimums and full-service support without the overhead of owning a single plant. Here is how the model works.

How It Works

1

You Share Your Vision

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

2

We Place Your Project

We put your product on the right GMP-certified facility in our network for your format, market, and volume.

3

We Manage Production

We coordinate formulation, sampling, production, and quality control from start to finish.

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.

Better Production Pricing

We run volume across many brands through our facilities, so your per-unit cost lands lower than a new brand would get on its own.

Single Point of Contact

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

Right Facility for the Job

As your product grows or needs different capabilities, we shift it to the right facility in our network. You do not start the 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 Produce Through Partner Facilities

We do not own the plants. We manufacture through a vetted network of GMP-certified facilities, which is how we keep minimums low and quality consistent. You get one contract and one point of contact for all of it.

One Transparent Quote

Your quote covers the whole build: formulation, production, testing, and coordination. There are no hidden per-order fees, and we walk you through what drives the number.

One Line of Communication

You work with our team rather than a rotating cast of facility contacts. It keeps things clear and keeps your project moving.

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
Production Pricing Better rates from pooled volume New-brand rates only
If Problems Arise One team owns it end to end You chase the facility yourself
Cost One quote covers everything Piece it together (but higher MOQs)
Best For New brands, low-volume, wanting guidance Established brands with high volume
