Selecting the right private label and contract manufacturing partner is crucial for the success of your business. The choice of a reliable and reputable partner can significantly impact product quality, compliance with regulations, and customer satisfaction.
Expertise and Experience
The first step in choosing a contract manufacturing partner for wet wipes is to assess their expertise and experience in the industry. Look for manufacturers with a proven track record of producing high-quality wet wipes and a strong understanding of the market. Consider their experience with different formulations, packaging options, production capabilities and portfolio of past clients.
A wet wipes manufacturer with their own house brand(s) of wipes would have an edge as it demonstrates that they manufacture products they are proud to sell themselves.
Certifications
Quality certifications play a vital role in ensuring that your contract manufacturing partner meets rigorous industry standards. Look for manufacturers that hold certifications such as ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) and ISO 13485 (Medical Devices Quality Management System). These certifications demonstrate a commitment to quality, consistency, and continuous improvement throughout the manufacturing process. Additionally, certifications like ISO 22716 (Good Manufacturing Practices) and ISO 22301 (Business Continuity Management) provide assurance that the manufacturer adheres to strict quality control procedures.

Compliance and Regulatory Standards
Compliance with regulatory standards is of utmost importance in the hygiene industry. Ensure that your contract manufacturing partner complies with relevant regulations and guidelines. For instance, partners who have obtained and are experienced in the European Standards will have an edge if you plan to import and sell in the Europe market.
Manufacturing Facility
A state-of-the-art facility equipped with modern machinery and technologies is essential for efficient production and consistent product quality. Check if the facility follows good manufacturing practices, including cleanliness and hygiene protocols. For a wet wipes and hygiene manufacturer, look out for additional standards such as the 100K Clean Room certification. This certifies that the manufacturing facility is free of dust and pollutants.
Customisation Capabilities
Evaluate the contract manufacturing partner’s ability to accommodate customisation requests. This includes their capability to develop custom formulas, source specialized ingredients, and create packaging that aligns with your brand’s identity. A good partner would have its in-house Research & Development team as well as Design team to provide a fast and seamless customisation experience.
The partner you choose will significantly influence the quality, safety, and success of your products. By prioritizing certifications such as ISO standards, GMP, and compliance with regulatory bodies, you can ensure that your contract manufacturer meets the highest industry benchmarks.
