White label marine collagen

Some customers will not take a cattle-derived supplement. Marine collagen is how you sell to them anyway.

Everything else is the same. It is taken daily and indefinitely rather than in cycles, so a customer who starts on it works through roughly six tubs a year and reorders without being sold to again. Ten tubs is £195 before VAT and delivery, and most white label suppliers will not quote marine collagen below five thousand units.

What a low MOQ actually buys you

MOQ is minimum order quantity — the smallest run a manufacturer will accept. It is usually five thousand units in supplements, and that figure exists because printed packaging is made in one long print run. The run sets the minimum, not the manufacturer's appetite.

Tubs sidestep it. They are filled from stock we already hold and your label is applied to them, so there is no print run behind the order. Ten is the number.

Fish-derived, and what that means for your label

Fish is one of the fourteen allergens that must be declared on a label in GB. Marine collagen is fish-derived, so that declaration is not optional, and it has to stay legible on the finished pack rather than being designed around.

We supply it as part of the statutory information with your label template, positioned correctly before you start work on artwork. It is a common reason a first design comes back for changes, and knowing about it in advance saves a round trip.

Collagen is also a product of animal origin, which puts it under a different set of approval rules from a plain powder. Our site holds POAO approval GB UW077, which is what allows us to pack it. Most operations willing to take a ten unit order do not hold it.

Marine or bovine

Commercially the question is not which is better, it is who will buy it. Pescatarians and customers whose dietary or religious requirements exclude cattle-derived products will take marine and will not take bovine. Marine costs more per tub — £19.50 against £16.70 — and generally sells for more.

Plenty of brands carry both, and each keeps its own price ladder, so stocking one does not affect the price of the other. If you are choosing one to start with, start with whichever your customers have already asked you for.

Start with ten

Ten tubs is £195. That is 600 servings of real sellable stock with your brand on it — two months of supply for ten daily customers, and two months of finding out whether they come back.

The volume ladder on tubs breaks at 20, 30, 40, 50 and 100, and the price per tub falls at each step.

Three routes, three commitments

The same hydrolysed marine collagen peptides in all three. What changes is what you are committing to, and the cheque you write.

Printed film replaces the tub, the lid and the label, so cost per gram falls by roughly half. Splits five ways at 140 each.

Choose pouches

The order that surprises people

Sachets carry the biggest minimum and the smaller cheque. £1,500.00 against £6,594.00 for pouches, on the same powder.

So the real ladder is not 10, then 700, then 5,000. By what you actually pay it runs ten tubs, then five thousand sachets, then seven hundred pouches. Worth knowing before you assume the middle step is the affordable one.

Questions

If yours is not here, email orders@makemysupps.co.uk.

What is the minimum order for white label marine collagen?

Ten 300g tubs, which is £195 before VAT and delivery. That is real sellable stock with your brand on it, not a sample pack. Printed formats have higher minimums because they involve a print run: 5,000 sachets or 700 pouches.

What does MOQ mean?

Minimum order quantity — the smallest run a manufacturer will accept. In supplements it is usually five thousand units, because printed packaging is made in one long print run and the run sets the minimum.

Tubs avoid that. They are filled from stock we already hold and your label is applied, so there is no print run and no reason for a large minimum.

Marine or bovine — which should I sell?

Marine collagen is derived from fish, bovine from cattle. Commercially the difference is who will buy it: pescatarians, and customers whose dietary or religious requirements rule out cattle-derived products, will take marine and will not take bovine.

Marine costs more per tub — £19.50 against £16.70 — and typically sells at a higher price too. Plenty of brands carry both. Each keeps its own price ladder, so stocking one does not change the price of the other.

Does it need a fish allergen declaration?

Yes. Fish is one of the fourteen allergens that must be declared on a label in GB, and marine collagen is fish-derived. That declaration is part of the statutory information we supply with your label template, so it will be positioned correctly before you start designing.

It matters at the artwork stage: allergen information has to remain legible and cannot be obscured by branding.

Is it flavoured?

Unflavoured only at the moment, in every format. Peach, Lemon and Mango appear on some product pages so you can see what is coming, but they cannot be ordered yet.

How long does a tub last one customer?

A 300g tub is 60 servings at 5g. Collagen is taken daily and indefinitely rather than in cycles, so a customer who sticks with it works through roughly six tubs a year. The repeat rate is the reason collagen makes a good first own-brand product.

How long does it take?

Tubs ship in days from filled stock. Pouches and sachets are six weeks from artwork approval, because the film has to be printed before anything can be filled. The clock starts when you approve artwork, not when you order.

Can I cancel?

Yes, at any point before you approve your artwork, for a full refund. Once approved we originate and print, and the order can no longer be cancelled.

What goes on the label, and who is responsible for it?

We supply the statutory information for the product with the mandatory items positioned correctly — including the fish allergen declaration — plus batch code and best before on every unit. You add your brand name, logo and any other text.

You are the brand owner and remain responsible for the compliance of what you sell. GB rules on what a supplement label may claim are narrow, and the wording of any permitted claim cannot be paraphrased. We will flag anything on your artwork that looks like a problem, but we will not write your claims for you.

I have no artwork. Can you help?

Ask and we will introduce you to an independent designer. The introduction is free.

Why are printed quantities plus or minus 10%?

Printed film runs never land on an exact count. Setup wastes material and the run stops on length rather than units, so a 700 pouch order delivers between 630 and 770 and that counts as a correct delivery. Plan your own stock on the lower figure. Tubs are unaffected, because there is no print run.
