Quick Answer (for busy buyers)

Here’s the buyer-first summary. If your brand name is on the label, you usually act as the responsible person and must ensure the listing is submitted and kept current.

  • For baby care products in the US market, we can accommodate pilot orders of 500-1000 units per SKU.
  • However, minimum order quantities for packaging components like bottles, caps, and labels typically start at 5,000-10,000 units, which may require higher per-unit costs for smaller runs.
  • Sampling usually takes 4-6 weeks, including stability testing and documentation preparation.
  • Lead time for production is typically 8-12 weeks after final approval.
  • We recommend starting with 2-3 SKUs to optimize packaging costs and ensure regulatory compliance through our US FDA-compliant testing protocols.
