Australian Private Label

Private Label Protein Powders and Supplements

Develop a private label protein powder or powdered supplement for your brand with Australian Private Label in Sydney. Start with the products below, or discuss a custom formulation through our supplement development and manufacturing service.

Choose the right powder for your brief

Your brief should define the intended customer, serving size, flavour, nutritional targets and selling price. A protein shake, greens blend and electrolyte powder each need a different formulation and evaluation process.

  • Protein powders: discuss whey or plant-based protein options, flavour, texture and mixing performance.
  • Greens and other powdered blends: identify the ingredients, serving size and positioning before developing samples.
  • Custom powders: bring a clear brief so the team can assess feasibility and the manufacturing pathway.

Formulation, flavour and packaging

Evaluate samples in the way your customer will prepare the product, including the liquid, mixing method and serving size. Compare flavour, sweetness, mouthfeel and sediment before approving the formula. Packaging choice also affects filling, moisture protection, storage and the cost per unit.

Discuss jars, pouches or sachets at the briefing stage. Formula approval, packaging availability, testing and production capacity all affect the launch schedule.

What to confirm before production

  • The approved formula and ingredient specifications.
  • Product classification, label wording and the evidence needed for any claims.
  • Required testing, shelf-life assessment and storage conditions.
  • Minimum production quantity, finished pack count and reorder requirements.
  • Development, packaging and manufacturing costs in the written quote.

Frequently asked questions

Can I develop a custom protein powder?

Send your target nutrition, preferred protein source, flavour references and packaging idea for assessment. The development scope and production requirements depend on the brief.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Request a project-specific quote. Minimums depend on the formulation, production process and packaging, so a single unit count does not apply to every powder.

Is protein powder automatically a meal replacement?

No. A protein powder and a meal replacement have different product requirements. Make your intended positioning clear before formulation and label review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Private label product development FAQs

Whether you are launching your first product or expanding an existing range, Australian Private Label can support formulation, testing, packaging guidance and Australian manufacturing.

What is private label product development?
Private label product development is the process of creating a product that is manufactured for your brand. Australian Private Label can support formulation, testing, packaging guidance and Australian manufacturing to help bring your product to market.
Can I create a completely custom formula?
Yes. We regularly develop custom formulations for brands looking to create something unique rather than selecting an existing stock formula. Our team can help develop innovative products, textures, ingredient combinations and formats based on your brief.
Do you only formulate products or can you manufacture them as well?
Yes. Australian Private Label can support both formulation development and commercial manufacturing. Many clients start with custom formulation and then move into Australian manufacturing once the product is approved.
What types of products can Australian Private Label develop?
Australian Private Label supports custom formulation and manufacturing across skin care, hair care, cosmetics, SPF products, personal care, wellness products and supplements. This includes serums, cleansers, moisturisers, masks, shampoos, conditioners, beard care, body care, powders, capsules, gummies, protein products, functional foods and more.
Do you work with startups?
Yes. Many of our clients start with a product idea rather than an existing business. We can help guide product feasibility, testing requirements, packaging options and manufacturing pathways.
Do I own the formula?
Custom formulation programs include IP ownership, allowing your brand to own and commercialise the formulation developed specifically for your project once contractual obligations have been met.
Can you help me create a product that does not already exist?
Yes. Many clients come to us because they want to create something different from what is currently available on the market. Our formulation team can help evaluate innovative concepts, ingredient technologies and product formats.
What happens after formulation is complete?
Once your formulation is approved, we can support packaging selection, manufacturing planning, production quotations and commercial manufacturing through our Australian facility and supplier network.
Can you help with testing and packaging?
Yes. We can guide stability testing, PET testing, compatibility testing, packaging options and additional testing requirements depending on your product type, claims and target market.
