Develop Your Soap Product with Shangase Brands
Shangase Brands provides soap formulation, product development and contract manufacturing services for businesses introducing new soap ranges or adapting existing products.
Our Durban manufacturing facility supports custom fragrances, colours, formulations, bar shapes, embossing and packaging.

Three Manufacturing Options
1. Manufacture Your Existing Formulation
If your business already has an established soap formulation, our technical team will assess the formulation and production requirements.
We work with customer-provided specifications, subject to technical feasibility and agreed confidentiality terms.
2. Develop a New Formulation
Businesses seeking a differentiated soap product have access to custom formulation development.
Projects are assessed according to the intended application, product specifications, fragrance, colour, manufacturing requirements and target market.
Custom development charges are agreed before work begins.
3. Select an Existing Formulation
Customers also have access to our ready-to-manufacture formulations, with options for custom fragrances, colours, shapes and branding.
Initial samples are available free of charge.
Custom Soap Shapes and Embossing
Shangase Brands offers custom soap dies and embossing for customers requiring a distinctive bar shape or branded design.
Customers are invited to submit dimensional specifications, artwork or design references for assessment.
Custom Packaging
Our manufacturing facility offers flow-wrapping equipment for individually wrapped soap bars.
Packaging designs, printed films, seal requirements and carton configurations are reviewed as part of the manufacturing quotation.
Low-Volume Development and Commercial Production
Selected customised orders below 1,000 bars are available, subject to setup and production requirements.
For established commercial ranges, our manufacturing line operates at approximately 300kg per hour.
