Target Weight Control
Engineered for consistent 2.5g to 5.0g unit deposit weights. Precise volumetric cavity design ensures exact potency per serving for vitamins, minerals, and botanical extracts.
Technical Engineering
Precision Starchless Mold Depositing & Dose Uniformity
In nutraceutical gummy manufacturing, piece shape and geometry dictate active payload capacity, starchless demolding efficiency, and shelf-life texture stability. VIRC Nutritionals operates state-of-the-art silicone mold depositing lines in Selma, Texas, guaranteeing a strict weight tolerance of ±2% across every production lot.
Starchless Silicone Hygiene
Zero starch contamination. Food-grade silicone molds deliver flawless surface definition, preventing cross-allergen transfer while facilitating clean, automated demolding.
Custom Logo Debossing
Proprietary 3D tooling capabilities allow brand owners to deboss custom logos, monograms, or functional icons directly onto each gummy surface for market exclusivity.

Whole-Food & Superfoods OEM Customization
Four-Stage Custom Mold Tooling Process
When off-the-shelf shapes do not align with your brand identity, VIRC Nutritionals provides complete end-to-end custom mold development with low technical lead times.
01
3D CAD Design & Volumetric Engineering
Our food engineers render 3D CAD models calculated to match your target active dosage, target gram weight, and demolding draft angles.
02
Benchtop 3D Printed Prototyping
We produce physical sample prototypes for visual evaluation, hand-feel verification, and active payload volume confirmation prior to steel tooling cutting.
03
Silicone Tooling Fabrication
Precision CNC machining crafts food-grade, high-durability silicone mold plates engineered for high-speed automated depositing lines.
04
Pilot Validation & Commercial Scale-Up
Trial pilot batches confirm demolding efficiency, setting time, and weight consistency before authorizing full commercial cGMP manufacturing runs.

Global Regulatory Alignment. Formulations and shapes configured for compliance with U.S. FDA, Health Canada, EFSA, GCC, and TGA guidelines.
Procurement FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions on Gummy Shapes & Molds
For any of our eight standard house molds, production starts at 1,000 lbs of finished gummies per SKU. For fully customized 3D molds featuring proprietary designs or logo debossing, MOQs and tooling setup fees are determined during technical review based on annual volume commitments.
Shape volume directly correlates with active payload. Compact domed shapes (such as Square, Disk, or Fruit Slice molds) hold between 3.5g and 5.0g per piece, enabling higher concentrations of vitamins, minerals, or botanical extracts without compromising gelling structure.
Yes. All eight house molds are engineered specifically for starchless silicone depositing and function flawlessly with citrus pectin (vegan), bovine gelatin, hybrid gel systems, and sugar-free bases (isomalt, allulose, erythritol).
Absolutley. We tool custom CNC-machined silicone plates with precise debossed lettering, brand logos, or functional icons. Our technical team ensures draft angles permit automated demolding while maintaining crisp logo visibility.
