OUR PROCESS

From first conversation to first shipped order in 8 to 12 weeks.

Here is what working with our private label team actually looks like, step by step.

A clear, predictable path from concept to launch.

Most supplement brands hit the same delays: surprise compliance issues, formulation rework, packaging vendor handoff problems, fulfillment setup. Our process is built to remove every one of those friction points before they happen.

Here is the full timeline from your first call with us to the day your first private label order ships. Most brands move from label approval to product in-hand in 3 to 4 weeks. The total timeline from first conversation runs 8 to 12 weeks, with formulation and design work in the middle.

The 6-step path from concept to launch

8 to 12 weeks total. 3 to 4 of those weeks happen after your labels are approved. Each step has a clear owner, a clear deliverable, and a clear handoff so you always know where the project stands.

WHAT YOU OWN VS WHAT WE OWN

Clear ownership at every step, so nothing falls through the cracks.

You own the brand, the audience, the marketing, and the customer relationship. We own the formulation, quality, compliance, and fulfillment. Both teams stay in their lane, and the lines are explicit from week 1.

Frequently asked questions

How many revisions are included in label design?
Our label design service includes unlimited revisions during your engagement. Most clients finalize designs in 2-3 rounds of feedback. We don't charge per-revision because adversarial design relationships hurt the outcome.
What happens if I don't like the design we land on?
If we can't reach a design you're happy with, we will work with you on alternative directions including bringing in additional designers or accommodating customer-supplied artwork from your own designer. We don't move to production until you are satisfied with your label.
When do I see proofs before production?
You receive digital proofs throughout label iteration, plus a final physical printed proof on actual label stock before we go to production. Physical proofs catch issues that digital proofs miss (color accuracy, finish, readability on bottle).
Can I switch SKUs or change quantities after I sign?
Yes, as long as we haven't gone to production. After production starts, changes get harder and may incur additional costs. We try to keep production-start decisions reversible until the last possible moment to give you flexibility.
What does my first call cover?
Your business goals, your audience, the SKUs you're considering, packaging and design preferences, target launch date, and budget. The goal is to leave that call with a clear picture of the right path forward and an honest assessment of whether private label is the right move for your situation.
