Review your capsule supplement. Before the full production run.
For supplement brands developing a new capsule supplement or transferring an existing formula. Define what you need to assess, from the capsule and fill to the pack, then agree the sample or pilot batch scope, feedback rounds and next production step.
Written offer within 1 to 3 business days.
- Sampling connected to formulation development.
- Development samples and production pilots scoped for different decisions.
- Capsule filling and packaging at the Komenda production site.
FDA registration is a filing, not FDA approval.
Sample scope and timing
Sample quantity and timing depend on the question being assessed, the formula, materials and work required. Agree the quantity, review criteria and production method for the proposed sample or pilot. Your offer confirms the scope, price and date.
Give each sample a clear purpose
Decide what you need to learn before requesting a sample. An early development sample and a production pilot can answer different questions.
Refine the formulation
Use a development sample to assess the agreed product characteristics and identify changes. Confirm what each feedback round includes.
Assess the production process
A pilot can help evaluate the proposed production setup. Agree the equipment, materials and checks needed for it to represent the later batch.
Create an approval reference
Record the specification, sample version and acceptance criteria. Keep the agreed records available for the next development or production step.
Agree what you receive and how you approve it
The sample offer should make the work, cost and decision clear. Use the checklist below to define the scope before it begins.
Your sample brief
- What exactly arrives: capsule size, fill weight, pack, quantity
- What it costs, and whether it is credited against a first order
- When it arrives, as a date in the offer
- How many rounds are included, and the cost of an extra round
- Which line it is made on
- Which documents come with it
Start with capsule suitability
Share the ingredients, amounts and serving size before commissioning a physical sample. A capsule suitability assessment can identify questions about blend volume, shell and packaging; confirm the assessment scope and any fee in your offer.
How the capsule fit check worksPlace the sample within your production plan
Agree when sampling is needed and what must be approved before the full batch. The sample work should connect to the same product specification used for manufacturing.
Tell us about your product and the question you need to answer. Confirm the sample scope, review criteria, price and timing in your offer.
- 01 / SAMPLE
Review the sample
Assess the agreed features of the formulation or pack. Record the sample reference and any differences from the intended production run.
- 02 / FEEDBACK
Make feedback specific
Compare the result with your review criteria. Identify what you accept and what needs to change before approval.
Agree any revision work, additional costs and timing, then assess the revised sample against the agreed criteria.
Approve the specification
Record the agreed sample reference, product requirements and acceptance criteria for production.
The approved reference informs the manufacturing specification. The production batch still needs the checks and release requirements agreed for your order.
Samples and pilot batch questions
Can I get a sample before I order a batch?
Yes, sampling is part of the capsule service range. Include your purpose and requirements in the enquiry so the offer can confirm what is supplied, the quantity, price and timing.
Is the sample free?
The sample offer identifies the price, included rounds and any extra-round fees. Confirm which documents or analysis are included with the work.
How long does a sample take?
The date depends on the formula, material availability and work required. Agree the turnaround in your sample offer. The published 1 to 3 business day promise refers to receiving an offer, not a finished sample.
Will the pilot batch run on the same line as production?
Confirm the equipment and production method in the pilot scope. A development sample may use a different process, so agree which characteristics the pilot must represent before using it to approve production.
Do documents come with the sample?
Agree the records in the sample scope. These may include the specification, sample identification and requested analysis. Testing and production records should be named explicitly, with any additional cost.
Where would the sample be made?
TS LAB’s production site is in Komenda, Slovenia. Confirm the location, equipment and any external testing involved in your particular sample or pilot project.
