Custom Powder Blending and Multi-Format Co-Packing Solutions
Eliminate costly batch-to-batch variations and packaging bottlenecks with Nutra Connection’s high-uniformity powder manufacturing and high-capacity co-packing services designed for various powder-based products and packaging formats.
Fast and Precise Powder Manufacturing Services for Large Production Runs
Don’t let supply chain bottlenecks slow your path to market. As expert powder manufacturers, we can help with technical R&D, blending, manufacturing, and co-packing. Our multi-format packaging capabilities and high-capacity production lines position us as the first and last manufacturer you need to manage a diverse multi-SKU portfolio.
Food and supplement products are designed to meet specific needs, which means every ingredient (and every dose) has a purpose, so protecting the integrity of your formula is paramount. Whether that purpose is efficacy, safety, longevity, or otherwise, using the wrong ingredient (or the wrong amount) during production will lead to batch rejection, sunk costs, and frustrating delays. Nutra Connection is dedicated to ensuring homogeneity in every blend so you can avoid those costly batch rejections!
Quality:
To protect the integrity of your products, we send samples of all incoming raw materials to third-party labs for identity and microbial testing. This quality practice allows us to verify the identity and quality of an ingredient before including it in the manufacturing process. Experienced staff members and state-of-the-art equipment then facilitate the continued accuracy of your formula during production. Our facilities and practices are compliant with industry-leading standards of quality and safety, including NSF (GMP) and SQF! View our Certifications Page to discover our other certifications.
R&D (Custom Formulation):
Nutra Connection’s in-house R&D lab is reserved for manufacturing clients who need help optimizing a formula for full-scale production or developing a new product to add to their line! Visit our Custom Formulation Page to learn more.
Blending:
Nutra Connection operates two clean rooms dedicated to powder blending (non-liquid blending). The first room houses a Paddle/Fluidizer Blender capable of mixing 15,000 kilograms of powder, perfect for manufacturing a large batch of your product mix accurately and efficiently. This large-scale blender is fed by a fully contained pneumatic powder transfer system that delivers a uniform mix while generating less heat from friction than standard large-scale blenders. Our second room houses our V-Blender, which is ideal for blending smaller batches of powder or ultra-delicate formulations.
Co-Packing:
Nutra Connection’s turnkey service offerings include a variety of common co-packing needs, such as powder filling into bags or tubs, stick pack filling, and capsule filling. Discover the packaging formats we support on our Co-Packing Page.

Deliver High-Quality Products With Turnkey Powder Manufacturing Services
Dry, powder-based products can be packaged in various consumer-favorite formats while offering unmatched stability, lower production/storage costs than liquid products, and excellent potency. As dry-product manufacturers, we can help you formulate powdered products ready to be packaged into stick packs, sachets, capsules, bags, pouches, tubs, or jars!
Dry-product (powder) manufacturing introduces benefits that can help streamline your supply chain and improve customer experiences. By eliminating the moisture content found in liquid formulations, working with powders inherently mitigates microbial risk and eliminates the need to add preservatives to slow the degradation of ingredients. Even without preservatives, dry product formulations maintain better stability and longer shelf life than liquids! As a result, powdered products tend to be easier to store, have lower production costs, and can be packaged in a number of convenient formats.
Nutra Connection can help transform your product vision into reality through our comprehensive custom powder manufacturing and supply chain services. We source pure and potent ingredients, with third-party labs testing all of our incoming raw materials before production begins. Our experienced R&D team is ready to support you in finalizing a manufacturable formula that is effective and delivers a taste consistent with your brand. As experienced powder manufacturers committed to rigorous quality standards, we utilize state-of-the-art blending equipment to guarantee homogeneity in every blend and every batch. Whether you are packaging your powdered supplements in gusseted bags, pouches, stick packs, sachets, capsules, or jars, Nutra Connection is the powder manufacturer you can trust to handle your project with care and deliver a premium product ready for the market.
