Why MOQs block so many projects
The MOQ (minimum order quantity) is often the first hurdle for a brand founder. Many manufacturers require high volumes, forcing heavy investment before a single product has been sold. The risk is twofold: inventory that sits idle, and cash tied up just when marketing needs funding.
What a small batch allows
- Test your market: check that your product appeals before investing more.
- Fine-tune your offer: flavor, dosage, packaging, retail price.
- Protect your cash flow: inventory in line with your actual sales.
- Launch several SKUs rather than a single one in large quantity.

Small batches: on our standard formulas
Small batches are made on our standard formulas, as white label: you pick a proven formula from our catalog and sell it under your brand. It is the fastest way to get started. A custom formulation (private label) suits you when you want an exclusive formula: it requires development time and suitable volumes, which we quote with you.
And when sales take off?
You scale up volumes with us, on the same formula and the same production site. No change of supplier, no new validation, no supply gap. We can also store your products and fulfill your orders from our Allonnes site.

Frequently asked questions
What is your MOQ?
Small batches are available on our standard (white label) formulas. For a custom formula, the minimum depends on development. Send us your project: precise quote within 48 hours.
Does a small batch cost more per unit?
Generally yes, because startup costs are spread over fewer units. That is the price of flexibility: you limit your inventory and your risk.
Can I start white label and move to a custom formula later?
Yes. Many brands start with a formula from our catalog, then develop an exclusive formula once the range is established.
Do you offer small batches of gummies?
Yes, on our standard vegan pectin gummy formulas, for a launch or a market test.
Where are your products made?
In France, in Saumur (Maine-et-Loire), at an ISO 22000 and HACCP certified, FDA-registered site.
The minimum order quantity is set case by case depending on the formula, the format and the packaging.
