Artwork runs in German / French / Italian
Label artwork, on-pack copy and retail packaging for Switzerland are written in German / French / Italian. Plan translation and claims review alongside sampling so production is not waiting on artwork.
DAT Supply
Contract manufacturing for Swiss brands
Contract manufacturing for brand owners with a locked specification seeking scaled production. Formula, specification, samples and documentation move through one structured order workflow, reviewed for Swiss brands. The brand owner remains the food business operator on pack.
Choosing a manufacturing partner
How to choose a manufacturing partner for Swiss brands — a reviewed catalogue, documentation by stage, and one structured order workflow.
DAT Supply manufactures private-label food supplements for Swiss brands across a multi-format platform.
How to choose
What to check before you choose a manufacturing partner for Swiss brands
Three things matter most: a reviewed formula base, a documented specification process, and clear claim wording for the market you sell in — before a sample is ever produced.
Reviewed formula base
A private-label catalogue option that has already been through formulation review, rather than a formula built from zero for every enquiry.
Documentation discipline
Specification, label and batch documents released at defined project stages — not bundled into a single opaque handoff at the end.
Claim wording review
On-pack copy and claim wording reviewed against the framework that applies for Swiss brands, before artwork is locked.
Sourcing considerations
Local vs. EU / international manufacturing
Brands for Swiss brands typically weigh a local co-packer against an EU-wide or international manufacturing platform. Neither is right by default — it depends on volume, format range and how many markets the brand plans to enter.
Local sourcing
Can suit a single-market launch with a narrow format range and simple logistics — but often means starting from scratch when the brand adds a second market or a second format.
A multi-format platform
One structured order workflow across formats and markets, with documentation reviewed per project against the rules of each market you sell in — useful once a brand plans to sell beyond a single market.
DAT capabilities
What DAT Supply provides
A single contracting party for the full private-label build: formula, specification, samples, documentation and production, managed through one client workspace.
Multi-format platform
Gummies, sachets, functional jellies, oral strips and pet soft chews run through the same order flow, so a formula can move between formats without starting over.
Project-managed production
Each project moves through defined review steps — product, specification, artwork, release — inside one client workspace, not a vendor inbox.

Documentation
Documentation by stage, not on day one
Each document is released to the brand owner at its project stage. The Certificate of Analysis is batch-specific and issued after production — available on request, not as a standing public list.
DAT releases the standard documentation package by project stage. External testing, full COA, additional microbiological reports, heavy metals, pesticide residue reports or raw-material supplier documentation are reviewed and quoted separately unless included in the agreed project scope.
Production is reviewed against the relevant EU/UK food-supplement framework: NRV-based labelling and permitted-claim wording are checked per project before artwork is locked. The brand owner remains the food business operator and importer of record on pack. Claim wording reviewed against EU 1924/2006 and 432/2012 before production.
Market-specific considerations
Working for Swiss brands
Market snapshot
Switzerland is a market of approximately 8,800,000 people, with Bern as the administrative capital and Zürich as the largest commercial city. Key commercial cities include Zürich, Geneva, Bern, Basel, Lausanne. Label artwork and on-pack copy are typically produced in German / French / Italian. Requirements are reviewed for the target market before production. The brand owner remains responsible for local notification or registration where required.
Regulatory framework
Dietary supplements in Switzerland are regulated as a category of food. Requirements are reviewed for the target market before production. The brand owner remains responsible for local notification or registration where required. The brand owner is the food business operator placing the product on the market and carries label and notification responsibility — DAT supplies the documentation pack and does not file on the brand owner's behalf. Label language and claim wording are confirmed during project review before the brief is finalised.
Market operations
Launching in Switzerland
Where the category sells
Reading the brand-owner signal for Switzerland: the applicable notification route and label language are reviewed for the target market before production. The brand owner remains responsible for local notification or registration where required; DAT supplies the documentation pack and does not file on the brand owner's behalf.
Buyer & channel
Choosing the lead channel for a Swiss contract pack
A brand owner running a contract pack for Swiss brands usually settles the lead channel before the format, because Switzerland's grocery, pharmacy, drugstore and direct-to-consumer mix each carries a different count and price ladder — the channel mix shapes pack format and unit economics. Deciding whether pharmacy, drugstore, grocery or DTC leads the launch is the brand owner's own call, and that choice steers the contract format's presentation and its per-unit maths more than any single specification. The cert panel travels with that decision: Bio Suisse / Knospe, V-Label, and kosher or halal where required are the marks commonly seen on a Switzerland pack, so a brand owner confirms which of them the contract format needs before the format is locked. With that settled, one program is shaped around the channel it sells into first.
Commercial lane
Language and notification for the Swiss contract lane
Switzerland's working language is German, French and Italian — the three Federal languages — so the contract pack's carton and pack artwork is authored tri-lingually from the outset rather than adapted later; tri-lingual artwork is required. That multi-language master is the practical baseline for any contract program aimed at Swiss brands. Requirements are reviewed for the target market before production. The brand owner remains responsible for local notification or registration where required. Stating that authority and path is the whole of it here — the brand owner plans the lane knowing Switzerland runs its own framework, with artwork carried in German, French and Italian across the contract format.
