Quality & Regulatory

What are we most proud of? We leave no room for compromise when it comes to the integrity of your product. Our unwavering commitment to ethical practices, transparency, and excellence not only ensures the highest quality but also builds enduring trust with our customers.

Navigating quality requirements and regulatory details can be one of the more challenging steps to creating your own product. Reliance has extensive experience with GMP and FDA compliance, as well as the product certifications, so you can have peace of mind. All ingredients and manufactured products are analyzed by our in-house lab and premier independent labs to ensure consistent quality.

Our experienced team will guide you through the process of determining compliant label claims, creating an accurate supplement facts panel, applying for any applicable certifications, and making sure you are 100% confident in the quality and accuracy of your product.

BRANDING FOR SUCCESS

IN-HOUSE GRAPHIC DESIGN

We know that effective label and package design requires both creativity and regulatory expertise. Compliance is critical, and the Reliance team is highly knowledgeable and up-to-date regarding all the latest FDA labeling regulations for dietary supplements guidelines. These include typography and font sizes, minimum required information, prioritization of information, directions and warnings, and ingredient formatting.

What if you already have an existing label or a design firm that you want to use to create your labels? The Reliance team will assist by providing label templates for your designer, and then provide regulatory label review services to make sure labels are compliant. Once your printer delivers the labels to Reliance, we will conduct a thorough review to make sure the labels are accurate, meet standards, and are ready for the production line.

If you do not have your own design service, we can help with that, too! Our talented in-house graphic design team is dedicated to working with you to create eye-catching customized labels and packaging that best suits your needs, making your brand standout among other supplements on the shelf.
