Transdermal patch supply

A single source for transdermal patch supply

 

Bulk & semi-finished supply

Patches supplied loose or on the release liner, ready for your own packaging and fulfilment. The flexible base for distributors and established brands.

Private label patches

Your brand on our proven formulations and packaging. A fast, low-risk route to a market-ready transdermal patch range under your own name.  

White label & OEM

Established patch products, ready to badge as your own. Tested formats with a track record across global retail and online channels.

Full turnkey brand

From a good idea into a best-selling product — concept, formulation, design, manufacture and supply, managed as one project.

 

From idea to shelf

From formulation to finished supply

One UK partner across the full journey, so you reduce the number of contractors you manage and keep development, manufacturing and supply under one roof.

 

Formulation & development

We incorporate your chosen active ingredients into our self-adhesive patch technology — including difficult formulations, developed in short timeframes.

Compliance & classification

Cosmetic and cosmeceutical classification aligned to EU and FDA directives, with a development route to medical device where it is needed

UK manufacturing

Production 100% in the UK, using sustainable, efficient materials across a wide range of patch shapes and formats.

Packaging & supply

Supplied loose, pouched or fully branded with own-label packaging, and delivered to your volumes and timelines.

 

Plus the support around it: Phase IV post-market clinical studies, product safety assessments, and marketing materials and sales support to help your patch range perform commercially, not just on the production line.

 

Specialist capability

Formats and finishes few UK suppliers offer

Beyond standard self-adhesive matrix patches, we produce formats many transdermal patch suppliers can't — individually sachetised single patches, bespoke shapes and made-to-brief formulations, all developed and manufactured in the UK.

 

Individually sachetised patches:

Single patches sealed in their own sachet — hygienic, retail-ready and ideal for trial packs, sampling and impulse formats. Produced in-house alongside multi-patch sheets and finished cartons.

Custom shapes & die-cutting:

Patches cut to the shape and size that suit your product and pack, from standard rounds and rectangles through to bespoke die-cut forms.

Made-to-brief formulations:

Formulations developed to your brief around cosmetic-grade actives and botanical extracts, with private-label and own-brand finishing available.

Plant-derived actives and botanical extracts formulated into a wearable, self-adhesive format.
