What products are RTD Drink suitable for?
The RTD Drink format is ideal for developing high value-added products such as beauty drinks, collagen peptide drinks, herbal botanical extracts, daily supplement shots, and bright-flavored functional drinks. Its key advantages include high concentration, easy-to-drink format, portability, and precise single-serving dosage, making it especially suitable for instant supplementation concepts or product lines that aim to elevate brand image.
RTD Drink can accommodate high-concentration ingredients such as blended botanical extracts, liquid peptides, fruit juice concentrates, and functional actives—making it a popular choice for the beauty market, wellness brands in retail channels, and e-commerce best-selling functional drinks.

Ingredients and formulation requirements for RTD Drink
RTD Drink can carry liquid or high-concentration ingredients, making it suitable for premium-grade or high-efficacy formulas:
Applicable ingredients:
- Botanical extracts and concentrates (Rhodiola, ginseng, goji berry, chamomile, blended herbal formulas)
- Collagen peptides and low-molecular-weight peptides
- Vitamin liquids (B-complex, C, phytonutrients)
- Enzyme liquids / fermented liquids
- Fruit juice concentrates and natural flavor liquids
- Amino acids and functional supplementation ingredients
- Other high-concentration liquid nutrition actives
Formulation requirements and limitations:
- The liquid must be heat-stable, or processed with low-temperature filling.
- High-viscosity liquids require evaluation of flowability and production line compatibility.
- pH must be compatible with the bottle material and sealing system.
- Protein-based or botanical ingredients require sedimentation and phase separation testing.
- Internal vacuum level and sealing performance should be optimized to reduce oxidation risk.
RTD Drink dedicated process management and three-tier quality assurance
1）Tier 1: RTD Drink raw material and process control
RTD Drink production must ensure formula concentration, taste, safety, and filling/sealing quality at the same time. Gin Hwa builds a professional liquid production line in compliance with international food safety requirements, completing extraction, blending, homogenization, filling, and sealing in-house.
Raw material identification and specification confirmation
Review documents and specifications for botanical extracts, peptide liquids, fermented liquids, and other ingredients to ensure compliance with RTD Drink formats and regulatory standards.
Liquid formula blending and homogenization
Control blending ratios and homogenization parameters to keep high-concentration formulas stable and non-separating inside the bottle.
Concentration, pH, and viscosity testing
Test key formula indicators to balance taste, safety, and filling efficiency on the production line.
Filling temperature and flow-rate control
Adjust filling temperature and flow rate based on formula characteristics to protect heat-sensitive ingredients while maintaining line stability.
Vacuum level and bottle-neck sealing strength
Verify internal vacuum level and aluminum seal strength to reduce oxidation and leakage risk and maintain shelf stability.
Appearance inspection and foreign matter control
Visually check color, sedimentation, separation, and bubbles to ensure consistent visual quality for every RTD Drink unit.
Packaging labeling and batch number management
Establish mapping between bottle labels, outer boxes, and batch numbers to support channel tracking and batch management.
Retention samples and shelf-life stability testing
Conduct stability evaluation under temperature and time conditions, tracking changes in color, taste, and key active components.
2）Tier 2: International-grade quality standards
Gin Hwa’s RTD Drink production line complies with multiple international food safety standards, supporting global OEM/ODM demand for beauty functional drinks, wellness drinks, and blended herbal drinks.
From raw material receiving, liquid preparation, and heat treatment to filling, sealing, and finished product inspection, the entire process operates under international food safety systems—enabling RTD Drink products to confidently enter domestic and overseas channels and brand collaborations.
3）Tier 3: External audits and government inspections
RTD Drink products follow required government audits, third-party sampling tests, and CAPA procedures. Supporting measures include batch traceability, deviation handling, and recall mechanisms to ensure every RTD Drink batch has complete food safety protection before market launch.
RTD Drink OEM FAQ
Q1｜What is the MOQ for RTD Drink OEM?
MOQ varies by bottle type, packaging printing method, and formula complexity. The standard 15ml / 20ml formats are generally flexible—brands can start with a launch batch to test the market, then scale up to mass production based on channel demand.
Q2｜Will RTD Drinks separate or form sediment? Can it be improved?
Some botanical extracts, peptides, or natural ingredients may cause sedimentation or slight separation under high-concentration conditions. Gin Hwa can optimize the formula structure through homogenization, filtration, and stabilization design—improving appearance and drinking experience while preserving functional ingredient content.
Q3｜Can RTD Drinks be sugar-free, low-sugar, or made with special flavors?
Yes. Sweetness and acidity can be adjusted based on brand positioning, and paired with sweeteners or dedicated flavor designs—such as refreshing profiles, beauty-oriented sweetness, or herbal notes—so the RTD Drink better matches target audience preferences.
Q4｜How long does the RTD Drink OEM development process take?
The typical development flow is “formula confirmation → homogenization & stability testing → packaging confirmation → pilot run → mass production.” The common development timeline is about 4–8 weeks, with the actual schedule depending on formula concentration, multi-ingredient design, and the level of packaging customization.
Q5｜Can we outsource RTD Drink OEM if we already have a liquid formula?
Yes. If you already have a liquid formula, Gin Hwa can help adjust concentration, stability, viscosity, and taste, and evaluate filling suitability and packaging compatibility—so the formula better meets RTD Drink production requirements and channel sales needs.
