1. Difference Between Third Party manufacturer and Contract Manufacture :

Practically there is no major difference in both terms. These could be used for in place of each other. There is theoretical difference in both terminology. Third Party Manufacturing term is used when a company get manufactured product with own brand name at a particular quantity timely from a manufacturing company e.g. 1000 box order as one time requirement.

Whereas Contract Manufacturing term is used when a company get manufactured product at customized term and conditions i.e. provide every thing related to manufacturing of that product e.g. raw material, excipients, packaging material, die etc. Manufacturer only need to manufacture it, in other term assemble it in marketing company brands

In third party manufacturing, there is no time compulsion to deliver the goods whereas contract manufacturing has delivery time compulsion.
Mostly small companies work at the basis of third party manufacturing whereas medium size and big companies work at contract manufacturing basis.
