A supplement manufacturer for brands that sell in the UK
You run a supplement brand, an online store or a contract packing business that sells in the UK. You need a manufacturer for capsule supplements: for a new product, for a product you already sell, or for extra capsule filling capacity.
TS LAB is a contract manufacturer in the European Union and already supplies customers in the UK. We fill capsules on our own lines in Komenda, Slovenia. An EU factory works for a UK brand when the import, the label and the documents are planned from the start. This page sets out what that involves.
Private label, white label and bulk capsules
Capsule supplements are our core. We also make softgels, packed in jars only, and powders; tablets are made on request. Gummies and liquids are outside our manufacturing range.
Private label supplements
Your own formula or a new product idea, made and packed in jars or blisters under your brand. Formulation, raw material sourcing, production, packaging, labels and documentation come from one partner.
White label supplements
A ready formula from our catalog, sold under your brand. It can reduce development work, with fewer ingredient choices. Ask whether other brands can buy the same formula.
Contract manufacturing
Bring the specification or label of the product you already sell, with your quantities. You receive a comparable contract manufacturing offer for the same formula and pack.
Bulk capsules for your packing line
We blend and fill your formula and deliver the capsules in labelled bags of about 15 to 18 kg. Your line packs and labels them.

How ordering from an EU factory works for a GB brand
Four steps from your brief to stock in Great Britain. The import is part of the plan from the start.
- 01
Send your brief
Your formula or catalog choice, pack, quantity and the countries where you will sell. Receive a written offer within 1 to 3 business days.
- 02
Approve specification and label
Confirm the formula, capsule, packaging and label before production. A label for Great Britain needs a UK address for the food business or for its UK importer.
- 03
Production in Komenda
Lead time is 60 calendar days after your specification, label artwork and deposit are in place.
- 04
Delivery and import
Delivery terms are agreed in your written offer. Your importer, customs agent or transporter makes the UK import declaration.

What you arrange, what we provide
Manufacturing in the EU does not replace the requirements for selling your product in Great Britain. Split the work clearly before the first order.
You need, as the brand selling in Great Britain
- A UK importer for the goods, with an EORI number that starts with GB
- An import declaration for each shipment, made by your importer, customs agent or transporter
- A UK address on the label: your food business address, or the address of your UK importer
- Registration as a food business operator with your local authority
- A check of label wording, claims and dose against the rules that apply in Great Britain
- If your product contains ingredients of animal origin, such as gelatine, collagen or fish oil, check the import requirements with your importer before the first order
We provide, as your manufacturer
- Production to the agreed specification in our own factory in Komenda, Slovenia
- Each invoice and delivery note shows the commodity code, batch number, best before date, pallets and weights
- A CMR and the EU export reference with every shipment
- On request: finished product specification, a certificate of analysis for each raw material lot, material specification, origin and allergen statements, and the artwork proof
- Label design work, with technical checks and regulatory review scoped in your offer
Selling in Northern Ireland too?
Food supplement law in Northern Ireland is covered by the Windsor Framework. Food supplements sold there need a Northern Ireland or EU address for the food business. Name every destination in your brief, so the label and documents cover each one.
MOQ and lead time
Your written offer confirms the quantity, price and schedule for your product.
MOQ 1,000 units per product
For finished products in jars or blisters. Your formula, materials and packaging determine the price in your offer.
Bulk from 300,000 capsules
Per product, for filled capsules delivered to your own packing line.
Lead time 60 calendar days
After your specification, label artwork and deposit are in place. Bulk capsules usually take around 60 days, depending on raw material availability.
Certificates and the factory behind your product
Check the production site, the certificates and the scale of production before you choose a manufacturer.
Certificates and facility registration
Retailer standards
If your retailer requires ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, IFS Food or BRCGS, request the exact current certificate before ordering. See ISO and retailer standards.
Why an EU manufacturer is a real option for a UK brand
An EU factory adds a customs border to your supply chain. Plan it into the offer, then compare manufacturers on the product, the factory and the documents.
A factory you can visit
TS LAB operates its own capsule production site at Obrtna cona Potok pri Komendi 14, 1218 Komenda, Slovenia. Review the production address and arrange a visit as part of your supplier assessment.
One partner from formula to finished product
Formulation, raw material sourcing, capsule filling, jar and blister packaging, labels and documentation are planned in one brief and one offer.
The border planned into the order
Name the importer, the destination and the documents your customs agent needs in your brief. The offer and the delivery plan can then cover them.

Supplement manufacturing for UK brands: your questions
Do you manufacture supplements for UK brands?
Yes. TS LAB already supplies customers in the UK, and we ship bulk capsules to the UK regularly. Production is in our own factory in Komenda, Slovenia, in the European Union.
Who is the importer when I order from an EU factory?
Decide who acts as the UK importer before the first shipment. Importing goods into England, Wales or Scotland needs an EORI number that starts with GB, and a customs agent or transporter can make the import declaration. Tell us which documents your customs agent needs, and we confirm them in the offer. If your product contains ingredients of animal origin, such as gelatine, collagen or fish oil, check the import requirements with your importer before the first order.
Which address goes on the label for Great Britain?
Pre-packed food sold in Great Britain must show a UK address for the food business. If the business is not in the UK, the label shows the address of its importer based in the UK. Food supplements sold in Northern Ireland need a Northern Ireland or EU address.
What is your minimum order quantity?
MOQ 1,000 units per product for finished products in jars or blisters. Bulk capsules start from 300,000 capsules per product. Your written offer confirms the quantity and price for your formula and pack.
How long does production take?
Lead time is 60 calendar days after your specification, label artwork and deposit are in place. Bulk capsules usually take around 60 days, depending on raw material availability. Plan transport and customs clearance with your customs agent.
Can you make white label supplements for the UK market?
Yes. Start with a ready formula from our catalog under your brand, or bring your own formula for private label production. With a ready formula, ask whether other brands can buy the same formula. Check the label and claims against the rules for Great Britain before printing.
Which documents come with each shipment?
Each invoice and delivery note shows the commodity code, batch number, best before date, pallets and weights. Every shipment also travels with a CMR and the EU export reference. On request: finished product specification, certificate of analysis, material specification, origin and allergen statements per raw material lot, and the artwork proof. Tell us which documents you need before production, and we confirm them in the offer.
