Summary
Build Your Own Brand is a contract manufacturer specializing in private label supplement pricing and private label supplement manufacturing costs. We run the build: formulation, packaging, artwork, QC and freight, from custom formulation through packaging and fulfillment.
Production runs in our partner facility in Shenzhen, Junzhao Import & Export (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., audited to cGMP 21 CFR Part 117, ISO 22000:2018, ISO 9001:2015, China HACCP scheme V1.0. These certifications are held by that facility, not by us, and every audited scope is confined to gummies and gel candy and to solid or powder beverages.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to private label supplements?
Private label supplement manufacturing costs typically range from $1.50 to $5.00 per unit depending on product format, ingredients, and order volume. Gummies average $2.00-$3.50 per unit, capsules $1.50-$2.50, and powder supplements $3.00-$5.00. These prices include manufacturing, third-party testing, standard labeling, and bottling. Your first label design is complimentary.
What is the minimum order quantity and how much inventory should I start with?
Our minimum order quantity is 500 units per SKU - among the lowest in the industry for FDA-registered, GMP-certified manufacturing. For a new brand, we typically recommend starting with 500 to 1,000 units of a single hero SKU to test market demand before scaling. At 500 units, your total initial product investment ranges from $750 to $2,500 depending on format.
How much do supplement samples cost?
Stock formula samples cost $150-$300 per SKU and include formulation review, bench-top production, and expedited shipping - typically arriving within 5 business days. Custom formulation samples range from $300-$700 depending on ingredient complexity. All sampling fees are fully credited toward your first production order.
Are there setup fees or hidden charges?
No. We do not charge setup fees, tooling fees, minimum contract periods, or hidden upcharges of any kind. Every quote is fully itemized and the price you approve is the price you pay. The only additional costs beyond unit pricing are shipping and any premium packaging upgrades you select.
How do volume discounts work?
We offer progressive volume discounts at 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, and 10,000+ unit tiers. Typical savings range from 5% at the first volume break to 25-30% at 10,000+ units. These discounts are applied automatically based on your order quantity and reflected in your itemized quote.

Transparency
Real Numbers, Real Margins - No Guesswork
One of the biggest frustrations new brand builders face is opacity in manufacturing pricing. How much does a private label supplement really cost? What is the break-even point? How do volume discounts work? We believe in radical transparency - because informed brand builders make better decisions and become better long-term partners.
Our pricing structure is built around progressive volume tiers. Starting at our minimum order quantity of 500 units, you receive competitive unit pricing that decreases as your order volume grows. At 1,000 units, you unlock the first volume break. At 5,000 units, pricing drops again. And at 10,000+ units, you access our deepest wholesale rates that maximize your retail margins.
Unit costs include formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, third-party testing, and quality assurance - everything needed to produce retail-ready products. There are no hidden setup fees, tooling charges, or surprise upcharges. Label design is included at no additional cost for your first SKU, and revision rounds are unlimited until you are completely satisfied.
Below you will find our standardized process steps and typical cost ranges by format. For a precise, itemized quote tailored to your specific formulation, packaging preferences, and order volume, use our online quote builder or speak directly with an account executive.
