When a powder fits
Powders fit ranges that need a daily-use ritual with a meaningful dose, a customisable serving size, or a high-active stack that would not fit a gummy or capsule.
- Hydration and electrolyte daily-use ranges.
- Beauty collagen powder routines.
- Protein-led wellness ranges with daily-serve sticks or jars.
Pick the route that matches the brief.
Every project moves through one of three routes. Final routing is confirmed inside the portal — the route shapes the documentation set and the timeline.
Reviewed concept, brand artwork.
Pick a reviewed pectin-gummy concept from the catalogue and adapt brand artwork. The fastest path from brief to launch — packaging, claims and documentation are reviewed against the target market.
- Best for
- First gummy SKU · short timelines
- Lead time
- Confirmed in the quote
Adjusted within an existing matrix.
Adjust dose, flavour or active stack within an existing matrix. Differentiate the SKU without a full custom-development cycle. Documentation route follows the same project gates.
- Best for
- Differentiated SKU · existing brand
- Lead time
- Confirmed in the quote
Bespoke formulation and dieline.
Fully bespoke formulation, custom flavour profile and packaging dieline. The right route for category-defining launches with longer planning windows and committed quantities.

Single-serve daily ritual or travel SKU.
- Sachet
Multi-dose family or weekly-ritual format.
- Jar
Multi-serve daily-use ranges with a scoop.
