Nutra Connection is a turnkey manufacturer and co-packer specializing in the production of dry (non-liquid) products. Our mission is to place as much value on you as you do in serving your own clients. We accomplish this through our rigorous quality practices and comprehensive service offerings, which include product development, nutraceutical & food manufacturing, packaging, quality testing, warehousing, order fulfillment, and shipping & inventory management. Don’t let supply chain logistics slow you down, contact Nutra Connection today for help getting your product market-ready!

What we Manufacture

  • Nutra Connection is an expert at manufacturing dry products. Our large-scale blending capability is ideal for companies needing to blend formulations in bulk, and we can package your powder into stick packs, sachets, capsules, gusseted bags, or tubs.

    *We do not personally manufacture liquids, softgels, or tablets at this time. However, as a turnkey manufacturer we can help facilitate the production of your softgels or tablets and then handle the rest of your supply chain needs!

  • Consumers love the convenience of single-serving packets, which means you need a copacker/manufacture who can output a lot sticks with accuracy. Nutra Connection’s stick packing capabilities set us apart from most Utah-based supplement manufacturers. With state-of-the-art multi-lane VFFS machines, we can output over one million sticks a day (over half a million sticks per shift) with accurate weights, lengths, widths, and seals.

  • One of our multi-lane VFFS machines is dedicated to filling sachets or larger-serving-size stick packs with powder. Do you prefer a sachet to a stick? No problem!

  • Capsules have remained a reliable delivery system for many years because they are easy to swallow, have a lengthy shelf life, and provide convenient dosing. Nutra Connection can encapsulate powders and granular materials for you!

    • Our turnkey services also make us a convenient supplement co-packer, so we can bottle your capsules using our high-capacity bottling line.

  • Stick Pack Filling

    Nutra Connection is a stick pack co-packer with competitive capabilities. Our multi-lane VFFS machines are incredibly efficient at shaping, filling, and sealing stick packs with accurate weight and proportions. We can manufacture 23mm, 35mm, or 40mm wide stick packs. We also have a sachet filling machine to accommodate larger-serving-size packet widths (2.32”, 3”, or 4”; AKA 59 mm, 76mm or 100mm). Sticks and sachets can be manufactured at various lengths as needed.

    Nutra Connection can fill over half a million sticks in a single shift!

  • Bottling

    Nutra Connection has a high-capacity bottling line capable of filling bottles or jars with capsules, tablets*, softgels*, or powders. Our in-line equipment handles metal detection, weight checking, capping, sealing, labeling, lot & date coding, and tamper-evident neck banding.

    *We do not personally manufacture tablets or softgels at this time, but we can package them for you!

    Nutra Connection can fill 7,000 - 15,000 bottles in a single shift.

Is your stick pack co-packer slow or inconsistent?

Don’t settle for sticks that have inconsistent weight, proportions, or seals. Nutra Connection’s multi-lane VFFS machines can quickly produce sticks without compromising on speed or accuracy! Request our stick-packing services today.

  • Encapsulation

    Our high-capacity encapsulation equipment can quickly and accurately fill Size 0 or Size 00 capsules with powder (or granular materials). The efficiency of our equipment is supplemented by a capsule transfer system and a powder reclamation system, both of which give Nutra Connection a competitive edge: the former by increasing the speed of production, the latter by minimizing powder loss. At Nutra Connection, all completed capsules are polished by specialized equipment and passed through metal detection.

    Nutra Connection can encapsulate 130,000 “double zero” capsules or 145,000 “zero” capsules in one hour.

  • Powder Blending

    We have two separate blending rooms for powder (and non-liquid) blending needs. One room hosts a large Paddle/Fluidizer Blender for large-scale powder blending. This blender is fed by a completely contained powder transfer system, which conveys the powder pneumatically. The other blending room has a 20 Cubic-Foot V-Blender for smaller powder and non-liquid blending needs.

    Nutra Connection’s high-capacity blender can blend 15,000 kilos per shift.

    Nutra Connection’s V-blender can blend 2,000 kilos per shift.

What we do

Supplement Manufacturing - Product Development Equipment

Product Development

  • The supplement industry is flooded with lookalike products, so you’ll need to stand out to survive. At Nutra Connection, our Research & Development team is prepared to help you create a formula that is underrepresented in the marketplace, manufacturable, and uses quality ingredients. We are also happy to help you understand the logistics of the nutraceuticals market to give you additional insight into creating formulations that resonate with your target audience.

Single-Serve Packet Filling Machine

Manufacturing

  • With a market that craves clean, quality supplements, it is important to partner with a manufacturer that is efficient without compromising quality. To ensure that your product is manufactured with care, we have registered with the FDA, invested in state-of-the-art equipment, and have earned copious quality certifications. Nutra Connection currently has 13 clean rooms where tasks such as blending (powder), single-serving packet filling, high-speed rotary filling, powder filling, encapsulation, and bottling are performed by knowledgeable staff and powerful machines. Since supplement & food manufacturing is the heart of what we do, we’ve dedicated the rest of the webpage (after this section) to explaining more about our manufacturing capabilities and equipment. Click here to go there now!

Stick Pack Packaging - Kit Assembly

Packaging

  • Feeling overwhelmed by the logistics of packaging and labeling your products? Let us help! Nutra Connection is effectively a food and supplement co-packer that regularly packages products into single-serving packets (stick packs and sachets), cartons, bags, bottles, and tubs.

    *Don’t have packaging materials yet? We can put you in contact with best-in-industry printers to help you create and print packaging materials. Once printed, we’ll take it from there!

Quality Testing

  • Concerned that your contract manufacturer won’t be as concerned about quality as you? At Nutra Connection, we partner with the best third-party labs for quality testing. All incoming raw materials are sampled and sent to these labs before being included in the manufacturing process. Identity and microbiology tests (mold, yeast, bacteria, etc.) are standard for all raw materials - and additional tests can be ordered if you desire. Only raw materials that pass their quality tests are used to manufacture your product, and we have Quality Technicians performing regular quality checks on our equipment (swab tests, gluten tests, weight checks, lot code checks, etc.) to ensure that the final product meets your specifications. Manufactured final products are also sent to third-party labs for quality testing (e.g. microbiology, color, weight, and odor testing). Should you wish to order additional quality tests on your manufactured product, we can help facilitate these tests through third-party labs.

Order Fulfillment

  • Managing your product from conception to inception is hard, especially if you find yourself needing to contract services throughout the supply chain. Keep it simple on yourself by working with a contractor that provides all of the services you need, from Product Development to Order Fulfillment. Nutra Connection operates a Fulfillment Facility that can help manage and ship your customer orders.The Order Fulfillment software we use is capable of integrating with all major shopping carts. Additionally, our inventory management program contains powerful reporting tools that keep you updated so you can make informed business decisions. These reports include on-hand inventory counts and constantly-updated shipping details so you can guarantee that your customers are receiving their orders as promised.

Common Questions

  • Yes! Although we emphasize manufacturing services, we also pride ourselves on being a “one-stop-shop” for anyone hoping to develop a dietary supplement or food product and take it to market. We’ve been referred to as a “co-packer” due to the packaging services we provide, but we are ultimately a “turnkey” manufacturer that helps you with all of your supply chain needs. Our services include Product Development, Supplement & Food Manufacturing, Packaging, Warehousing, and Order Fulfillment. You can learn more about our capabilities on the Services page, here.

  • No, we do not manufacture liquid products at this time. We’ve found that dry products tend to have a longer shelf life, lower manufacturing costs, and lower shipping costs, which is beneficial to both our clients and their customers!

    • Are you deciding between developing a liquid or dry product formula? Read our blog post that describes the benefits and limitations of both options here!

  • Our minimum order requirements vary by the type of project runs required. If you’d like a quote, please select “Contact Us” and include the project details in your message. We’d be happy to review your inquiry and send you a quote!

  • No, we do not provide stock formulas that you can put your own label on. Instead, we help our clients to create custom formulations through our Product Development services so their product ideas can come to life. Otherwise, we function as a Contract Manufacturer that will manufacture your dietary supplements or food products as specified by your formulations.
