FDA registration is a filing, not FDA approval.
Keep your existing product at the centre
You already have a product, customers and a specification. A transfer starts with what needs to stay consistent: ingredient grades, dose, shell, capsule count and packaging. These requirements shape the assessment and any development work needed.
TS LAB connects capsule filling with formulation, sourcing, jar and blister packaging, labels and documentation. Build the transfer brief around the parts of that service your product needs.
Four decisions that shape a transfer
Use your current specification to compare the proposed product, production plan and document requirements before changing manufacturer.
- 01
Product continuity
Identify the characteristics customers recognise: serving size, shell material, colour, capsule size and pack. Establish which need to match and which can change.
- 02
Materials and packaging
Check the availability of your ingredient grades, shells and pack components. Any proposed substitution needs to be assessed against the formula and specification.
- 03
Production and stock cover
Share your first-order quantity, stock position and required delivery date. Development, material availability and production capacity determine the transfer schedule.
- 04
Documents and sales channels
List the records your market, retailer or marketplace requires. Agree the document scope, issuer, format and handover alongside the manufacturing work.
Start with a written offer
Send the formula you already sell, current pack, first-order quantity and target market. Receive a written offer within 1 to 3 business days, with any assessment or development work identified for the next step.
Compare the product you sell with the proposed specification
Put your current requirement beside the proposed specification. Use the comparison below to identify what needs to stay the same, what could change and who must approve it before the first batch.
| Attribute | Current product | Proposed product | Evidence and decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formula and materials | Record the quantitative formula, ingredient grades and any excipients. | Mark each intended match and name any proposed material change. | Compare specifications and material documents. Decide which differences need assessment or approval. |
| Capsule and serving | Record shell material, size, colour, fill and serving count. | State which characteristics must remain and which may change. | Use the current specification and a reference sample where available. Agree how a proposed sample will be judged. |
| Pack and artwork | Identify the pack components, count and approved artwork for each market. | List the intended pack and any artwork or component differences. | Review component specifications and market requirements. Approve the pack and artwork revision before use. |
| First batch | Note current acceptance criteria, records and remaining sellable stock. | Define the proposed checks, first quantity and required arrival. | Agree acceptance and document needs, then check milestones against stock cover before relying on a delivery date. |
Decision to take forward: Which attributes must stay the same, which differences are acceptable, and who has the rights and authority to approve them? Bring the current product documents to the assessment. Feasibility, acceptance criteria and responsibilities need agreement for your project.
Bring the specification behind your current product
Send the documents you already have, along with the quantity and delivery date you need. We can then identify what is ready to transfer and what needs more work.
Product and material documents
- The formula: your full quantitative formulation, every active and every excipient, with overages if you use them
- The label: current artwork and label text, in every market language you sell in
- The COAs: certificates of analysis from your current batches, and per raw material if you have them, that is the document stating what the material is and what was measured in it
- The volumes: annual volume, usual order size and your next reorder date
- The specification: capsule size, shell material, fill weight, packaging format and shelf life
Add a reference sample and forecast
- A sample of the capsule you sell today, to assess the characteristics you want to retain
- Stability data from your current manufacturer
- Your notification records per market
- Your priorities for the transfer: continuity, quantity, timing, pack or documentation
From existing specification to repeat production
Agree the stages your product needs. A transfer may require assessment, samples or a pilot before the first full production batch.
- 01
Document review
Share the formulation, label, material data and current pack specification. Identify the requirements that must be retained and any gaps to resolve before production.
- 02
Capsule fit check
Assess the formula quantities, material grades, density and intended serving size against the capsule format. Confirm the assessment scope, required trials and any fee in your offer.
- 03
Sample
Agree which characteristics the sample should demonstrate and how you will compare it with your current product. Record the approved reference and any changes.
- 04
Pilot batch
Where a pilot is needed, define the equipment, quantity, records and acceptance criteria. Your offer sets out the pilot scope and quantity.
- 05
First production batch
Production follows the agreed specification and order schedule. Set the date around material availability and the work required.
- 06
Reorders and scale-up
Once the product is established, plan repeat orders around sales forecasts, materials and available capacity. Any stock holding, reserved capacity or staged delivery needs an explicit agreement. Explore repeat orders and scale-up.

Set the scope for your transfer
Confirm the manufacturing format, order quantity and rights to use the formula before commissioning the work.
Capsule supplements
Capsule supplements are the core service. Softgels are made here too and packed in jars only. Tablet and powder projects can also be discussed on request. Gummies and liquids are outside our manufacturing range.
An order quantity for your product
The minimum order depends on the formula, materials and packaging. Your offer confirms the quantity and price for the proposed production scope.
Rights to use the formula
Confirm the ownership and usage rights for the formula, artwork and any licensed materials you bring. Agree how those rights apply to the transfer and any new development.
Check the company behind the production
Start with the legal entity, production address and current credentials. The proof page brings together the company information and the evidence available for review.
Company figures shown here are a dated public-register snapshot. Use the current register and company documents when evaluating your supplier.

Bring production closer to your EU market
Compare the production location, delivery route and market requirements for your product. These are practical parts of the sourcing decision.
A production site in Slovenia
TS LAB fills capsules at its own factory in Komenda. Review the production address and discuss a visit as part of your supplier assessment.
A delivery route you can plan
Include the destination, shipment size and receiving requirements in the brief. Compare the quoted route and delivery schedule with the stock cover your business needs.
Requirements for your target market
Manufacturing in the EU does not replace product compliance or country-specific notification requirements. Identify the market, label and documentation work within your transfer plan.

Switching contract manufacturer for your capsule supplement: your questions
I already have a formula and a label. What do you need to quote?
Send the formulation or current specification, target market, packaging and first-order quantity. Add label artwork, material documents and a reference sample where available. Receive a written offer within 1 to 3 business days.
Will my capsule look and feel the same to my customers?
The match depends on ingredient grades, shell material, capsule size, colour, fill and packaging availability. Agree the characteristics to retain and assess a sample where needed before approving the production specification.
How long does a transfer take?
The schedule depends on the assessment, any samples or trials, material availability and production capacity. Confirm the milestones and dispatch date for your product. The 1 to 3 business day promise applies to the written offer.
Can you take over my volume?
Share your annual forecast, typical order size and first required delivery. Available capacity and material requirements need to be assessed for that schedule; a general factory capacity figure is not a reserved production slot.
Are you the factory, or do you subcontract?
TS LAB operates its own capsule production site at Obrtna cona Potok pri Komendi 14, 1218 Komenda, Slovenia. Confirm the location and scope of each part of your project, including any external testing or specialist work.
What is your minimum order quantity?
The minimum order depends on the formula, materials and packaging. The written offer identifies the quantity and price for your proposed project.
Can you manufacture my existing formula?
Bring the specification and confirm your rights to use the formula. Ingredient availability, capsule suitability and any adaptations need assessment before the transfer can be confirmed. Ownership and usage rights belong in the agreement.
Why move production into the EU at all?
An EU production location can help align manufacturing with your regional sourcing and delivery plan. Compare the actual route, cost, timing and document requirements for your product. EU manufacture does not remove market-specific compliance obligations.
