Chewable Gel Pastille Manufacturer — Private Label Gel Pastilles
Chewable gel pastilles are soft, semi-translucent discs that can be chewed without water. They sit between a gummy and a tablet: firmer than a gummy, more pleasant than a chewable tablet, and easy to dose. We produce them for private label and OEM projects with MOQ from 300 bottles.

What are gel pastilles?
A pastille is a piece of gel, typically 1.5–3 g, formed in a mould and dried to a soft chew. Pectin and modified starch systems let us build a vegetarian product with a clean bite, and the shape can be a classic disc, square, heart or a custom mould.
Why brands choose pastilles
- No water needed — convenient for travel and on-the-go routines
- Firmer bite than a gummy, which suits adult positioning
- Sugar-free and reduced-sugar recipes available
- Easy to combine several colors or flavors in one pack
- Works well for actives that are unpleasant in tablet form
Typical applications
Melatonin and sleep support, elderberry and immune blends, vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, botanical extracts, and children’s lines where a soft chew is easier to accept than a tablet.
Development and production
Shape, texture and flavor are finalised during sampling, usually within 2–4 weeks. Production lead time is typically 15–25 days after sample approval.
