Services FAQs
What does the typical path from concept to first production look like?
Discovery brief → R&D feasibility → benchtop and flavoring → pilot or first production → packaging & QC release → warehousing/fulfillment setup. Timelines, costs, and documentation are provided at each gate.
Can you work with an existing formula or preferred suppliers?
Yes. We can produce as-specified, optimize for cost or taste, or qualify new vendors while preserving your product’s intent and claims.
What compliance documentation will I receive?
Specifications, COAs, lot traceability, and label review feedback. For retailers and marketplaces, we align to their specific intake requirements.
How do MOQs and lead times work?
MOQs vary by format and packaging. We propose right-sized first runs and scalable replenishment plans. Lead times are quoted up front and updated at checkpoints based on ingredient and packaging availability and any required testing.
Do you support multiple channels and 3PLs?
Yes—DTC, wholesale, and retail DCs. We can integrate with your preferred 3PL or coordinate FBA-compliant prep and handoff.
