Tolling only. The default 8 g is a pricing reference, not a recommended serving size.
*Smaller runs and other fill weights require a custom quote. Materials and final packaging specifications are confirmed separately.
01 / WHAT’S IN THE CUP?
We review the actual powder and recipe. A category name starts the conversation; specifications define the work.
Instant coffee and coffee-based powder blends, ready to review for stick filling. Share the exact base, particle form, and intended preparation.
Start with: coffee character, serving weight, and how it’s mixed.
Tea powders and tea-based drink concepts need their own brief. Define the actual tea ingredient, flavor direction, sweetness, and finished drink.
Start with: the tea specification and the cup you want to make.
Adding fibers, proteins, flavors, or other ingredients changes the brief. We review the full blend, amounts, and preparation targets together.
Start with: every ingredient and its amount—not just the product name.
This offering is for dry powders and related dry ingredient blends. Ready-to-drink liquid filling is outside the scope.
02 / DESIGN THE DRINKING EXPERIENCE
The recipe should be developed around how people will use it. Explore the preparation you have in mind.
Describe the complete routine: the liquid, how much, how hot, and how someone mixes it. That gives development a useful target.
Mix one serving into [volume] of [liquid] at [temperature], using [mixing method].
Mixing directly into cold liquid and mixing warm before pouring over ice are different preparation instructions. Tell us which experience you want.
Mix one serving into [volume] of [cold liquid / warm liquid first], then add [ice and remaining liquid].
If both preparations belong on the pack, both belong in the brief. We need to understand the desired result for each.
Hot: [liquid, volume, temperature, method]. Iced: [liquid, volume, ice, method].
This choice updates your inquiry prompts only. It does not change the price, add services, or confirm mixing performance.
03 / TWO WAYS TO START
You can keep your powder supplier and come to us for stick filling. Share the blend specifications, fill weight, flavor split, and packaging plan so we can review the actual project.
Start with the person who will drink it and the experience you want them to have. We can scope formulation and flavor development around that brief.
100% upfront after scope confirmation. Generally 6–8 weeks once payment, the brief, and required materials are ready; complex blends and other project needs can take longer.
04 / PUT A BUDGET BEHIND THE DRINK
Start with transparent tolling. Then work through the materials and support your product needs.
Blending, filling, sealing, and agreed retail packout. One formula/flavor with customer-supplied components in the calculator.
Coffee or tea base, flavor, sweeteners, and every additional ingredient. Costs depend on the actual formula and purchasing requirements.
Suitable stick film and your agreed boxes or pouches. Confirm the product fit and specifications before printing.
Formulation, optional powder analysis, and any separately scoped testing. Freight and taxes sit outside the tolling estimate.
05 / MAKE THE FIRST CONVERSATION USEFUL
You don’t need every answer to start. Tell us what you have, what you want to make, and what is still undecided.
Send my beverage briefOpens an email with your preparation direction and selected run size. No order or payment is placed.GET CLEAR BEFORE YOU START
For runs below 25,000 total sticks, you supply all production ingredients and the complete flavor system. At 25,000+ total sticks across all SKUs / flavors, ingredient sourcing is available by separate quote, subject to formula review and supplier requirements. Packaging sourcing and formulation sample development remain available for smaller runs.
We review instant coffee, tea powders, and dry functional beverage blends for formulation, blending, and stick-pack production. Share the exact base powder, complete formula or product brief, and preparation instructions. Material suitability and the manufacturing scope are confirmed for the actual project.
No. This offering covers dry powders and related dry ingredient blends in stick packs. The customer adds liquid when preparing the drink. Ready-to-drink liquid filling is outside this offering.
Yes. Share the blend specifications, intended preparation, grams per stick, total order quantity, and flavor split. We review suitability and packaging requirements before confirming the filling scope. You can keep your supplier and discuss stick filling with us.
Yes, we can scope custom powder formulation around your product brief. The confirmed formulation offer is $3,500 per formula/flavor for one agreed scope, paid 100% upfront after scope confirmation. The full process generally takes 6–8 weeks once payment, the brief, and required materials are ready. Complex blends, material availability, and feedback can extend it. Manufacturing and materials are separate.
That needs evaluation with the actual formula and preparation method. Tell us the liquid, volume, temperature, and mixing method you want customers to use, along with acceptable texture and settling. An online filling price does not confirm dissolving or mixing performance.
The online calculator starts at 7,500 total sticks. Smaller quantities can be discussed through a custom quote. Flavor splits, film requirements, and material purchasing minimums are reviewed separately. The calculator covers 1–12 g fills; other fills also need a custom review.
The default 8 g is a pricing reference, not a recommended serving. Use the weight of your complete blend, including the base, flavor, sweeteners, and other ingredients. The recipe and powder properties determine the serving and packaging requirements.
No. It shows tolling labor for blending, filling, sealing, and agreed retail packout, with one formula/flavor and customer-supplied ingredients and packaging. Ingredient and flavor costs depend on the actual formula. Packaging and optional services can be scoped in the full quote. Testing, freight, and taxes are outside the tolling estimate.
Yes, share the total quantity and the split for each flavor. Each manufacturing SKU/flavor after the first adds $400 in the full quote. That does not pay for developing another formula. Film requirements, material purchases, and per-flavor production quantities still need confirmation. A 15,000-stick order across two flavors means 15,000 total sticks, not 15,000 per flavor.
Optional powder analysis includes evaluation and blank-stick samples using a blend or ingredients you supply. It is separate from formulation taste samples, ingredient sourcing, and production. It does not automatically come with sourcing or packaging, and it is not a full laboratory-testing or stability-study package.
StickPax coordinates manufacturing through our partner EnviroStar. The actual formula, materials, packaging, and production requirements are reviewed and agreed before the run.
A SMALL PACK. A DAILY HABIT.
Bring the blend or bring the brief. We’ll help you work through the product, the materials, and a production scope that makes sense.
