OEM / ODM · Private label

Your Brand,
Our Production Park

HEFS has been making fruit syrups, purées, powders and toppings for other people's labels since 1998. Send a brief or a competitor sample; our lab returns 2–3 formula directions in 7–15 days.

The four steps

    Step 1 · Brief

    Private Label,
    Start to Finish

    A private-label programme with Naturmix means one supplier holds the formula, the packaging, the certificates and the export paperwork. You hold the brand.

    Day one is a 30-minute call and a one-page brief: what the drink has to taste like, which market it ships to, what it has to cost per kilogram, and how much of it you expect to move in a year. That is enough for us to come back with a feasibility answer, an indicative price at three volume steps and a development schedule — normally the same week.

    What a one-page brief needs

      No brief yet? Ship us a bottle of the product you want to beat. Flavour matching from a competitor sample is a standard service and does not extend the 7–15 day lab window.

      Step 2 · Formula & sample

      What Our Lab Can Change

      Six development levers, all handled in-house by the HEFS food inspection laboratory and the New Tea Innovation College — no third-party flavour house in the loop, so revisions come back in days rather than weeks.

      Sampling rounds

      Every development runs to the same rhythm. Most programmes sign off in round two.

        Step 3 · Packaging

        What We Can Produce

        Standard formats run on our own lines, with a baseline minimum per SKU — roof-box cartons sit higher because the carton print run itself has a minimum, and brew bags sit lower because the sachet line changes over in under an hour.

        Dielines are free and downloadable. The Private Label Dieline Pack on the Resources page covers the 2.5 kg bottle, 1 kg pouch, 5 L jug and 3.2 kg pail; cup wrap, bag and sealing-film templates are cut to your artwork and sent with the enquiry reply. Send print-ready artwork back as PDF/X-4 with 3 mm bleed and we proof it within 5–7 days.

        Step 4 · Production & delivery

        The Real Schedule

        Durations below are what we actually quote, not best-case marketing numbers. Artwork proofing runs in parallel with the pilot run, which is where most programmes claw back a week.

          The product

          Drives the label rules, the certificate pack and whether HALAL applies.

          A number, even a rough one, saves a whole sampling round.

          Packaging format *

          Pick at least one pack format — or tick “Advise me”.

          Tick everything you might want quoted; multi-format programmes are common and share one formula.

          Do you have an existing sample?

          A physical reference is the fastest route to a match. Ship it to Shihai Industrial Avenue, Wenquan Town, Conghua District, Guangzhou — we will send the address and a courier account on reply.

          Not Ready to Brief a Formula Yet?

          Start with the Naturmix range. Buy the stock product, prove the drink sells, then move the winner onto your own label — the formula transfers unchanged.
