Wholesale & OEM terms.

01Who we work with

We supply brand owners, e-commerce businesses, distributors, wholesalers, importers, pharmacy groups and manufacturing partners. Projects can cover human or pet oral dissolving strips and functional oral pouches.

This is a B2B wholesale and contract-manufacturing programme. We do not offer single-unit consumer retail or single-box dropshipping. Evaluation samples are available for commercial projects.

02Five programme types
Programme How it works Starting route
Ready-stock wholesale Buy available finished oral strips. Ask for current stock pouch options. ODF: from 500 boxes, around 7 days to dispatch after availability and payment confirmation.
White label / private label Choose an existing formula and agree your brand packaging. ODF: normally 1,500 boxes per flavor, or 500 on qualifying volume orders. Pouches: 1,500 cans per flavor. Custom bulk dispatch: 25 calendar days after design approval; freight transit is additional.
ODM / custom formula or flavor Develop the formula, taste and product specification from your brief. Custom sample: US$58 per formula or flavor, excluding shipping. Sample fees are credited against the bulk order total, as recorded on the PI.
OEM / customer specification Manufacture against your supplied formula, approved sample and pack specification. Bench review followed by the confirmed ODF box or pouch can MOQ per flavor.
Contract capacity / co-packing Agree casting, cutting, filling, sealing or cartoning work and supplied-material specifications. Quoted for the format, pack and volume.

The stock oral strip directory contains 16 human product ranges and three pet options. Stock evaluation samples cost US$10 per box (5 samples), excluding shipping, with credit toward the bulk order as recorded on the PI. All sample preparation and dispatch take 7–10 working days (approximately 7–15 calendar days).

03Business details and project brief

Provide your company name, business details, billing and delivery addresses, and a commercial contact. Tell us the destination country, product format, intended users or pet species, ingredients, amount per serving, flavor, packaging, quantity per SKU and target schedule.

For oral strips, include the strip and sachet format and the number of strips per box. For pouches, include the can format and pouches per can. We review the brief before confirming feasibility, specifications and a Proforma Invoice (PI).

04Minimum order quantities by format
Product and route MOQ Volume and packaging options
Stock oral strips: human and pet 500 boxes Product combinations depend on availability and the accepted quote. Pack counts can be 10, 20 or 30 strips per box, depending on the product.
Private label and custom ODF Normally 1,500 boxes per flavor Qualifying larger, multi-SKU orders may allow 500 boxes per flavor. Confirm the total volume and each flavor allocation on the PI.
Proprietary caffeine ODF formula 500 boxes Confirm the available formula and own-brand carton requirements through the caffeine oral strip programme.
Functional oral pouches 1,500 cans per flavor Each flavor is counted separately. Confirm the formula, can and pouch count with your quotation.
05Sampling and pre-production approval
Stage Cost and timing What to review
Initial feasibility review No charge for the initial brief review. Formal testing or development is quoted separately. Format, active loading, taste, pack requirements and destination-market questions.
In-stock evaluation samples US$10 per box (5 samples), excluding shipping. Credited toward the bulk order as recorded on the PI. Existing oral strip or functional pouch products. Preparation and dispatch: 7–10 working days (approximately 7–15 calendar days).
Custom formula or flavor samples US$58 per formula or flavor, excluding shipping. The agreed formula, flavor and pack. Preparation and dispatch: 7–10 working days (approximately 7–15 calendar days).
Pre-production approval Written approval before the commercial run. Final sample revision, product specification, artwork and pack count.

All sample fees are paid in full in advance before preparation begins. The approved sample and product specification are the reference for the commercial batch. Custom and private label bulk orders are dispatched 25 calendar days after design approval (freight transit is additional).

Standard commercial orders use a 70% deposit and 30% pre-shipment balance, settled after buyer review of the batch COA, product specification sheet and factory inspection report. Read the Payment Policy for the milestones.

06Pricing, packaging and printing setup

Unit pricing is quoted per SKU against the ingredients, amount per serving, pack format, quantity and destination. Higher-volume options can be compared in the quotation. The quote or PI states its validity period and any separate setup charges.

For private label ODF, unchanged universal stock foil for the inner sachets plus a custom outer retail carton avoids custom sachet printing-plate setup. Custom foil, printing plates and optional design work are quoted separately. Ask for the dieline needed by your design team.

For pouches, confirm the can, label, pouch count and printed packaging. Review the pouch formula and packaging options with your brief.

07IP, formula ownership and confidentiality
Asset Ownership and use
Your brand, trademarks, logos and artwork You retain your rights. We use the supplied material for the agreed manufacturing and packaging work.
A proprietary formula or specification you supply Your existing rights remain yours. The project agreement sets the permitted use and confidentiality obligations.
A custom formula developed for your project Ownership, licenses, permitted use and any exclusivity are recorded in the signed project agreement. Agree these rights before development begins.
ZestDose stock formulas and process know-how Our existing formulas and manufacturing methods remain our background IP unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Custom printing plates, cylinders or dies The agreed use rights, physical custody, maintenance and retention period are recorded in the project documents.

The US$58 custom formula or flavor sample fee pays for the agreed sample work; formula rights and manufacturing know-how are addressed separately in the project agreement. A mutual NDA can be agreed before you share proprietary information.

08Formula and territorial exclusivity

Stock oral strip and pouch formulas are non-exclusive unless a written agreement says otherwise. If you need custom formula exclusivity or distribution exclusivity for a territory, agree the product scope, markets, duration and volume commitments in a separate written agreement.

Buying a sample, placing an order or paying a development fee does not by itself establish territorial exclusivity.

09Brand authorization and artwork

Supply artwork and brand names that your business owns or is authorized to use. Confirm any licensing restrictions and the destination-market label requirements before artwork approval.

We do not accept counterfeit branding or unauthorized copies of another brand’s packaging. The final artwork, ingredient text, batch identification and any required warnings form part of the agreed product specification.

10Destination-market and pet product requirements

Confirm the product classification, permitted ingredients, amount per serving, label text and claims for each destination before approving the product. We manufacture against the agreed specification; the buyer and importer must confirm the requirements for placing the finished product on their market.

  • Human oral strips: review the permitted use of melatonin, caffeine, botanicals and other selected ingredients for the intended market.
  • Functional pouches: confirm ingredient limits, required warnings, age restrictions and serving information for the destination.
  • Pet oral strips: specify dogs, cats or another intended species, the formula, serving instructions and local pet supplement or feed labeling requirements. Calming, probiotic and multivitamin options require their own specifications.
  • Claims and traceability: use only claims permitted for the product and destination. Do not alter the agreed batch code or expiry marking.
11Quality review and pre-shipment documents

Before the pre-shipment balance is settled, we provide three core records for buyer review:

  • Batch Certificate of Analysis (COA).
  • Product specification sheet.
  • Factory inspection report.

For supplier review, GMP/cGMP, FSSC 22000/ISO 22000, HACCP and FDA registration documentation is reviewed against the relevant holder, facility and scope. See the available quality documentation.

Agree any additional testing, retention samples, traceability records or destination documents before production. Quality issues are reviewed against the approved sample, specification and written order. Use the Shipping Policy and receiving and claims process in our Shipping Policy to report damage, shortages or a product concern.

12Repeat orders, storage and shelf life

Repeat orders reference the agreed formula, specification and artwork revision. Confirm ingredient, label or packaging changes before the next run. A rolling forecast helps plan materials and packaging.

For oral strips in barrier foil sachets, shelf life, cool-and-dry storage conditions and expiry marking are confirmed against the product specification and supporting stability information for the selected formula and pack. Agree any required remaining shelf life on the order.

UPC/EAN retail barcode printing and Amazon FNSKU labeling can be included in the packaging brief. Supply and approve the correct codes and label placement before production.

13Supply changes and conclusion of a programme

Discuss a change or conclusion of an ongoing supply programme in writing. Confirmed purchase orders, committed materials, payment and delivery obligations are reviewed against the accepted PI and project agreement.

The agreement records any notice period and the continuing confidentiality, ownership and permitted-use obligations after the project ends.

14Start a wholesale or OEM programme

Send your product category, target market, format, target amount per serving and expected first-order quantity. We will review feasibility and confirm the next practical step. Include your company, ingredient brief and packaging requirements; for pet strips, specify the intended species.

Use the Cara contact section below or the Get a Quote button to prepare your enquiry. For formulation work, review the custom ODF manufacturing service before sharing the brief.

Wholesale & OEM questions.

Can several oral strip formulas qualify for the 500-box-per-flavor tier?

Qualifying larger, multi-SKU orders may allow 500 boxes per flavor instead of the standard 1,500 boxes per flavor for private label ODF. Confirm the combined volume and each flavor allocation on the PI. The separate stock oral strip route starts at 500 boxes.

Who owns a formula developed for our brand?

You retain existing brand, artwork and proprietary specification rights. For a newly developed formula, ownership, licenses and exclusivity are recorded in the signed project agreement. Custom formula or flavor samples cost US$58 per formula or flavor, excluding shipping; that fee covers the agreed sample work and does not automatically transfer manufacturing know-how.

Do you offer consumer retail or single-box dropshipping?

No. This programme serves commercial wholesale and manufacturing projects. Stock oral strip orders start at 500 boxes. In-stock evaluation samples cost US$10 per box (5 samples), excluding shipping, with credit toward the bulk order as recorded on the PI. Custom formula or flavor samples cost US$58 per formula or flavor, excluding shipping. Sample preparation and dispatch take 7–10 working days (approximately 7–15 calendar days).

How can we avoid custom sachet printing-plate setup?

For private label ODF, use unchanged universal stock foil for the inner sachets and customize the outer retail carton. This avoids custom sachet printing-plate setup. Other printing and packaging work is quoted separately.

Where are payment milestones and delivery terms explained?

The Payment Policy covers the 70% deposit and 30% pre-shipment balance after buyer review of the batch COA, product specification sheet and factory inspection report, plus sample payment rules. The Shipping Policy covers stock dispatch around 7 days after availability and payment confirmation, sample preparation in 7–10 working days (approximately 7–15 calendar days), custom bulk dispatch 25 calendar days after design approval, and additional freight transit.
