Jelly stick vs gummy manufacturing at Mark Bio Technology

How do jelly sticks and gummies differ?

A jelly stick is jelly in a tear-open stick pack, one pack per serving, suited to formulas that need a larger amount of active per serving, such as collagen. A gummy is a chewable piece packed in jars or pouches, suited to lower-dose actives and customers who enjoy a treat-like format. Mark Bio Technology runs its own gummy and jelly machines in Thailand. Minimum order is 5,000 units.

Can taste and colour be customised?

Yes. R&D adjusts taste, colour and aroma during sampling until you approve.
