Contract Manufacturing FAQs

What is the difference between contract manufacturing and private label?

Contract manufacturing means KeepMe produces fragrances to your exact specification — your formula, your components, your brand. You retain full ownership of the intellectual property and product design. Private label typically involves selecting from pre-existing formulations and packaging options. Many clients use contract manufacturing when they have a specific vision and want complete control over every element of their product.

What are the minimum order quantities for contract manufacturing?

Minimum order quantities start from 500 units when using stock components from our existing range. For fully bespoke componentry — such as custom glass moulds or unique closures — MOQs are typically higher, depending on the complexity of the specification. Our team will advise on the most cost-effective approach for your project.

What are the typical lead times?

Lead times depend on the complexity of your project. A fast-track order using stock components and an existing fragrance can be fulfilled in approximately 12 weeks. Fully bespoke projects with custom formulation, bespoke glass, and luxury packaging typically take 6 to 9 months from brief to delivery. We provide a detailed critical path at the start of every project.

Who owns the intellectual property?

You retain full ownership of your brand, product design, and any bespoke fragrance formulations developed exclusively for you. KeepMe acts as your manufacturing partner — we produce to your specification under strict confidentiality. Non-disclosure agreements are standard practice for all contract manufacturing engagements.

What certifications does KeepMe hold?

Our manufacturing operations comply with ISO quality management standards. All products are manufactured in accordance with EU Cosmetics Regulation, IFRA guidelines, and CLP labelling requirements. We provide full regulatory documentation including safety assessments, IFRA certificates, and CLP-compliant labels for every product we manufacture.

How much does contract fragrance manufacturing cost?

Pricing is project-specific and depends on a range of factors including fragrance type, fill volume, componentry specification, decoration requirements, and order quantity. We provide detailed quotations following an initial consultation, giving you full transparency on unit costs and tooling charges. Contact our team to discuss your project requirements.
