What to verify

• Platform tooling: one die + four-side-seal pouch; dose/flavor swaps without retooling; seal-window table (temp/pressure/dwell) on the exact laminate.
• Process evidence: inline thickness/basis-weight with live SPC and stop-on-trend; roll cert + CoA auto-attached per lot.
• Changeover reality: documented 2–4 h product-to-product with cleaning SOPs; stable OEE/FPY over three months.

Commercial frame

• Quote by thickness/basis-weight window + die layout + seal spec; non-standard = surcharge.
• Reorder SLA 10–15 business days (frozen BOM, locked recipes); pack sets 7–14 / 30 / 90–120.

Bottom line

Choose an oral strip manufacturer that proves speed and repeatability with data, not promises. Standardization protects margin and scales SKUs.
