A sample is the cheapest way to find out.
Before you commit to tooling, artwork or a production run, hold the product in your hand. We build a physical prototype, send the data behind it, and quote the scale-up from the same specification.
- 7–10
- Working days for a lab sample
- 1,000
- Units MOQ after approval
- 1
- Named contact per project
Three steps, no black box.
You will know what we are making, what it costs and when it ships before the first production batch is booked.
- 01
Send the brief
Tell us the format, actives, dosage, target market, packaging and volume. A reference product or competitor link helps more than a long spec.
- 02
We prototype
The formulation team produces a bench sample in 7–10 working days, with a specification sheet and sample-batch analytical data.
- 03
You approve, we scale
Once the physical sample, label and pack are signed off, we lock the specification and quote the production run from the same master formula.
What actually arrives.
Physical prototype
Enough units to taste, touch, label and test with a small panel — not a single display piece.
Specification sheet
Actives, excipients, fill weight, dimensions, shelf life and storage conditions.
Sample-batch COA
Analytical results for the batch you are holding, so the sample is traceable to data.
Packaging options
Bottle, blister, sachet, stick, jar or carton samples with the closures and labels we recommend.
Sample terms, before you ask.
- Sample lead time
- 7–10 working days from a complete brief and confirmed formula direction.
- Sample cost
- Confirmed with your quotation. Where a fee applies, it is credited against the first production order.
- Courier
- At cost, billed at the carrier's published rate. Customer account numbers are welcome.
- What we need
- Target market, dosage, actives or reference product, packaging direction and expected first order volume.
- What we do not do
- We do not send unsolicited samples or copy a competitor's finished formula. Samples are built for a defined project.
Sample requests are reviewed for fit. If your volume or market is outside our scope, we will say so before you pay for courier.
Tell us what you want to hold.
Include the target market, dosage form, actives or a reference product, and the volume you expect for the first order. We reply within one working day.
Before you request.
Are samples free?
Sample fees depend on the format and the number of iterations. We confirm the cost before we start, and any fee is credited against the first production order.
Can you match a competitor's product?
We can match a format, texture and nutritional profile, but we will not copy a protected formula or a competitor's proprietary blend. We build an equivalent from lawful references.
How many samples can I have?
Start with one or two directions. Once you select a direction, we iterate on flavour, colour, texture and dosage before locking the specification.
Do I need to sign an NDA?
Happy to. We can work under your NDA or provide ours. Formula ownership stays with you for custom development.
