Selling on a marketplace is not the same job as making the product. The strip has to be right, but the listing also has to survive review, the carton has to survive inbound, and the paperwork has to match the country you are selling into. We build all three.
Four failures we see more often than a bad product.
In Germany, France and Spain a marketplace listing is blocked without a packaging registration in that country. It is a registration, not a certificate, and it has to exist before you list — not after your first sale.
Marketplaces reject cartons that break their weight and size limits, and units without a scannable barcode label. Nothing is wrong with the product. It just never reaches the shelf.
An EU listing asks for the CE declaration, an EU Authorised Representative named on the listing and instructions for use in the marketplace language. Great Britain asks for UKCA and a UK Responsible Person instead. The US route is different again.
Your first order has to cover launch and the first restock. If the reorder has to restart development, the listing loses the position you paid to build.
Four controls, all of them things we already run for other sellers.
Carton specification applied to your SKUs, barcode and FNSKU labels applied at the factory, and mixed-SKU cartons where your inbound plan needs them. Tell us at quotation stage so it is built into the order rather than added afterwards.
CE or UKCA declaration by destination, packaging registration for DE / FR / ES, EU Authorised Representative and UK Responsible Person details, instructions for use in the marketplace language, MSDS, and a substantiation file for your listing wording.
Once your specification is approved we hold it. Mass production runs 7–15 days on 5 automated lines at 2M+ units a month, so a reorder is a production slot rather than a new project.
Put your artwork on a stock specification from 500 boxes. Move to 5,000 boxes with your own printed boxes, inserts and display units once the SKU has validated — the approved specification carries over.
Most sellers start at the top and move down once the SKU proves itself.
Your artwork on an existing strip and pack, from 500 boxes. The fastest way to get a listing live with your own brand on it.
Printed boxes, inserts and counter display units, from 5,000 boxes. Tooling and artwork set-up need volume to spread across.
Our stock range at tiered wholesale prices, mixed-SKU orders welcome. See the wholesale page for how that route works.
Not sure which one you are? Read the OEM and private label process, or compare the two routes on wholesale nasal strips. Supplying a pharmacy chain, buying as a distributor, or launching your own brand? Each buyer type has its own route under solutions.
Four marketplaces, four genuinely different lists. Pick yours and request the matching set.
Two of the registrations named there are public and you can check them without asking us: the MHRA entry for Great Britain and our EUDAMED record as manufacturer. The United States is the exception — FDA publishes no public database for cosmetic facility registrations, so there we give you the FEI number and send the submission confirmation on request.
