Process & lead times
Process and lead times
One account manager, one project file and a timeline you can plan a launch around.
The eight steps
Brief
Tell us the category, target market, quantity and price point. A dedicated account manager owns your project from here.
Proposal
Our R&D and design teams return a formula plan and a packaging plan with renderings, specs and a quotation.
Samples
Product and packaging samples in 3–7 days. Sampling is free (you cover freight) with two free revisions.
Order
Contract signed, usually a 30% deposit, and your batch is scheduled.
Production
Materials purchased and produced in our GMPC workshops. We share progress and you are welcome to audit the factory.
Testing
Finished goods are tested and batch samples are retained in a constant temperature and humidity room.
Shipping
Balance (usually 70%) paid, then customs clearance and shipping by sea, air, express or land with tracking.
After-sales
Your account manager stays on the project for re-orders, compliance questions and market feedback.
