In the health food industry chain, co-processing has become a common production mode, providing brand owners with more flexible choices. This article will delve into several common ways of health food processing, including sample processing, contract processing, self-formula production, contract labor and materials, and OEM customization.
1. Sample processing: Sample processing is a common health food processing method, customers provide product samples, and manufacturers copy and produce according to the samples. This method is suitable for brands that already have a clear product design, and can ensure that the product quality and taste are the same as the original through sample processing. At the same time, it also provides manufacturers with specific production standards and reduces communication costs.
2. Processing with supplied materials: Processing with supplied materials means that customers provide raw materials for production and processing by health food processing manufacturers. This approach is suitable for brands that have specific raw material channels or have their own formulations. Through contract processing, brand owners can better control the quality and cost of raw materials, and at the same time enjoy the professional production services of OEM.
3. Bring your own formula to produce: Some brands may have their own unique formula and want to produce it and bring it to the market. In this case, the health food OEM can produce according to the formula provided by the customer. This approach can meet the requirements of brand owners for product uniqueness and exclusivity, and at the same time, it also needs to ensure the security of trade secrets.
Fourth, the contractor: Contractor is a kind of all-inclusive service, the manufacturer not only bears the responsibility of production and processing, but also is responsible for providing raw materials. This approach is suitable for some brands that want to outsource the entire production process. Brands only need to focus on marketing and sales, while health food processors are responsible for production and raw material procurement.
5. OEM customization: OEM customization refers to the manufacturer producing products in accordance with the requirements of the brand owner, and affixing the brand owner's logo on the product, which is sold by the brand owner. This method reduces the production and inventory pressure of brand owners, and at the same time, it can better build brand image. For some start-up brands or brands with a small market scale, OEM customization is a more flexible and economical option.
The choice of health food processing method depends on the needs and resources of the brand owner. Different methods have their own advantages and applicable scenarios, and brand owners can flexibly choose according to their own circumstances to achieve high-quality production and marketing of products. In the OEM cooperation, the communication and cooperation between the two sides is crucial, and only through effective cooperation can we jointly promote the healthy development of the health food industry.
