Softgel supplement manufacturing
Softgel manufacturing seals a liquid or oil-based fill inside a single-piece shell using rotary die encapsulation. Vita Supplements is an EU contract manufacturer in Ljubljana, Slovenia that produces white label and private label softgels for brands across Europe, in gelatin or vegetarian shells. Softgels are the right format for oils and fat-soluble actives like fish oil, vitamin D3, vitamin E and CoQ10, because the sealed shell protects the fill from air and light and masks odour and taste. White label softgels start at a 100-unit MOQ with a 1 to 4 week lead time; fully custom private label runs start at 500 units over 4 to 8 weeks. We work with purified, low-oxidation oils and provide certificates of analysis. Every batch is made in the EU with full documentation, and you get a quote within 24 hours.

Why choose softgels, and the honest trade-offs
Softgels are unmatched for oils and fat-soluble actives, with strong bioavailability and a premium look. The trade-off is that they suit liquids and oils, not dry powders or high-dose minerals, which belong in a capsule or tablet. The encapsulation step also makes softgels cost more per unit than a two-piece capsule, a cost that pays off for the right active.
MOQ and lead time for softgels
White label softgels start at 100 units with a 1 to 4 week lead time. Custom private label fills start at 500 units over 4 to 8 weeks, which covers oil-blend development and fill-weight validation. Because most oil systems are already characterised, validation on a custom softgel is usually quick.
