Skip the
three-week
quote loop.
Industry standard for a contract manufacturing quote: two to four weeks. Often longer. Often never. Our Rapid Quote tool returns a preliminary number in five minutes — pricing, lead time, MOQ — so you can decide if the 20-minute call is worth your time.
From there: five to six weeks to pallets on a truck. Two to four for re-orders. Here's how it all plots out.
Your quote,
in three moves.
Five minutes in the Rapid Quote tool. Format, fill weight, ingredient list, target unit count, target ship window. Whatever you don't know, leave blank.
Preliminary range comes back instantly — pricing range, lead-time band, MOQ check. Enough to know if the project is in the ballpark.
Twenty-minute call with Joe to pressure-test the spec, lock the number, and walk through the production calendar. PO follows.
Quote to truck.
Plotted.
Five to six weeks from PO to pallets on the truck. Re-orders ship in 2–4 weeks because the procurement and formulation work is already done.
Quote locks, PO signed. Raw materials get sourced and quarantined for identity testing on receipt. Nothing moves to staging until it passes.
Small pilot run. Your QA team reviews against acceptance criteria. Usually one pass — iteration available if you need it.
Main blend runs to homogeneity, sampled mid-batch and at the end. Filled, sealed, packed in line. One format per shift to keep changeovers honest.
Microbiological clearance, blend uniformity, label verification. Lot released or held. Documentation packet assembled.
Pallets shipped. Documentation packet ships with the order — no scavenger hunt after the fact.
Once the formula's been through our line once, re-orders ship in 2–4 weeks. Procurement and pilot stages collapse because the work is already on the books.
What you'll hear back.
And when.
The worst co-man experience isn't a bad lot — it's silence. Here's what we hold ourselves to on the communication side, written down so we can be held to it.
Numbers we'll
put on the page.
If we'll write it on the website, we'll write it in the contract. These are the four we stand behind across every project.
Trailing 12 months. If we know we're going to miss, you hear it before the date, not after.
If the cost moves mid-cycle, that's our problem. The quote is the price.
Not 5,000. Not 50,000. Same minimum whether it's your first run or your fifteenth.
Via the Rapid Quote tool. Not a brochure download. An actual number you can plan against.
The honest
answers.
500 units. Same for white label and custom. We don't lower the bar to win the deal and walk it back at production.
Five to six weeks for a first run. Two to four weeks for re-orders, because procurement and formulation are already done.
Yes, within the powder lane. Custom takes the full five-to-six weeks. White label (a starting formula you customize at label, packaging, and minor ingredients) ships in 3–4 weeks. See white label for the catalog.
3rd-party verified. On-receipt identity, blend uniformity, pre-release microbiological clearance. CoA and full documentation packet ships with every order.
Mutual NDAs are standard before any specs are shared. We don't run your formula for anyone else. Your IP is your IP.
The pilot blend in Week 1–2 of production is your sample — small batch, against your acceptance criteria, before we commit the full run. Standalone "send me a sample" requests outside that flow aren't part of how we work.

Five minutes in the tool. Preliminary number back instantly. Decide if the 20-minute call is worth your time after you've seen the price.
