01 / YOUR STARTING POINT

A blend in hand.
Or a product in mind.

You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out. Start with what you have, and we’ll help define the work.

I have a finished blend

Bring the powder. Define the run.

Keep your existing powder supplier. We start with the blend you intend to manufacture, the complete serving, and the packaging you want it to leave in.

What to bring
Available formula and powder specifications, ingredient identities and grades, serving weight, and supplier information. Tell us any required testing or documentation.
What we confirm
Material responsibilities, powder and packaging fit, total sticks, flavor splits, and agreed retail packout. Confirm receiving requirements before sending powder or film.
Your next step
Send the product details and planned run. We’ll identify the manufacturing scope and whether optional powder analysis would be useful.

I need a custom formula

Bring the brief. Develop your formula.

Start with the customer, the product experience, and the ingredients that matter to you. We agree the development scope before work begins.

What to bring
Product direction, ingredient priorities and amounts if known, flavor, complete serving target, preparation, budget, and any benchmark products.
What is included
Bench development and feasibility work, physical taste samples, up to six sample-and-feedback rounds within scope, and the completed formula with supporting bench documentation.
Your next step
Discuss one formula/flavor and its targets. After scope confirmation, the $3,500 formulation fee is payable 100% upfront before development begins.

Choosing a starting point changes the guidance and email prompts. Services are added only when you choose them in the full quote.

FROM SPECIFICATION TO STICK PACK

The powder.
The package.
The whole run.

A finished product starts with specific decisions: what goes in, how much goes in, and how it will be packed.

02 / THE MANUFACTURING BRIEF

Four details.
A workable scope.

Bring what you know. These are the details we’ll work through before confirming the production plan.

COMPLETE FORMULA

Make every
component clear.

Identify each ingredient, its grade, and its amount per serving or batch. Include flavors, sweeteners, and carriers. A label panel may not contain the complete manufacturing recipe.

Plan ingredient sourcing

SERVING & PREPARATION

Price the
complete serving.

Use the full powder weight in the calculator. Explain liquid volume, mixing method, flavor, sweetness, and texture so the product experience is part of the brief.

For fills outside 1–12 g, request a custom review using the actual serving weight.

PACKAGING & FLAVOR SPLITS

Count sticks.
Then define the pack.

Tell us total sticks, the quantity of each flavor, and sticks per retail box or pouch. One order can have several versions; each needs a clear recipe, fill, and packaging scope.

Stick film, cartons, and pouches are materials. Manufacturing labor and retail packout are separate from purchasing those materials.

TESTING & DOCUMENTATION

Bring the requirements
into the conversation.

Share any retailer, distribution, testing, storage, or documentation requirements early. We’ll confirm what the project needs and what can be included in the agreed scope.

Manufacturing pricing does not approve a formula, label, claim, or shelf life. Laboratory testing, stability studies, and regulatory work are separately reviewed.

03 / IF THE FORMULA STILL NEEDS WORK

A focused brief.
A formula you own.

Custom development includes bench formulation and feasibility work, physical taste samples, and up to six sample-and-feedback rounds within the agreed scope.

You receive the completed formula, including its flavor system, and supporting bench documentation. You can manufacture elsewhere; third-party ingredient technology rights remain separate.

04 / YOUR PROJECT BUDGET

Every cost.
In the right place.

Tolling labor
Blending, filling, sealing, and agreed retail packout. One formula/flavor with customer-supplied ingredients and packaging is the calculator’s starting point.
Ingredients & flavors
Priced from the complete recipe, specifications, purchasing requirements, and availability. Ingredient count alone cannot establish the cost.
Packaging materials
Stick film, cartons, and pouches. Supplied by you or separately scoped with StickPax.
Development & evaluation
Formulation and optional powder analysis are separate services. Analysis requires materials you supply.
Other project costs
Additional manufacturing SKUs, separately scoped testing, stability or regulatory work, freight, and taxes sit outside the base tolling estimate.

GET CLEAR BEFORE YOU START

Before the powder becomes a product.

Can you fill a supplement powder from my existing supplier?

Yes, we can review a customer-supplied finished blend for stick filling and agreed retail packout. Share the available powder and formula specifications, complete fill weight, packaging plan, and required documents. Confirm material and receiving requirements before shipping anything.

What types of supplement products does this service cover?

This service covers dry-powder products in stick packs. Capsules, tablets, gummies, and liquid filling are outside its scope. Each powder, ingredient specification, and packaging combination still needs review before the manufacturing run is confirmed.

Can you develop a custom formula?

Yes. Custom formulation is $3,500 per formula/flavor for one agreed scope, payable 100% upfront after scope confirmation and before development begins. It includes bench development and feasibility work, physical taste samples, up to six sample-and-feedback rounds within scope, and the completed formula with supporting bench documentation. Production ingredients, packaging, and manufacturing are separate costs.

How long does formulation take?

Generally 6–8 weeks for the full formulation process once payment, the brief, and required materials are ready. Complex blends, material availability, and customer feedback can extend the timeline. This is a development estimate, not a production lead-time promise.

Do I own the completed formula?

With ordinary custom formulation, you own the completed formula, including its flavor system, and may manufacture elsewhere. Third-party ingredient technology rights are separate. Additional formulas, flavors, and changes outside the agreed development brief are separately scoped.

What is the minimum order?

Online manufacturing estimates start at 7,500 total sticks. Smaller runs can be reviewed through a custom quote. Per-flavor quantities, film requirements, and material purchasing minimums need to be confirmed for the actual project.

What fill weight should I use in the calculator?

Use the complete powder weight per stick, including flavors, sweeteners, carriers, and all other components. The online range is 1–12 g. The default 8 g is a pricing reference, not a recommended serving or dose. Request a custom review for other fills.

Can I split the order across flavors?

Yes. Quantity means total individual sticks across the order. Each manufacturing SKU/flavor after the first adds $400 in the full quote. Share the quantity, complete recipe, fill weight, and packaging for each version. The $400 fee does not include developing another formula or flavor.

Can you source ingredients and packaging?

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 remains available for smaller runs. Ingredient pricing depends on the complete formula, specifications, purchasing requirements, and availability. Stick film and retail packaging are separate from tolling labor. Confirm stick dimensions and film requirements before ordering printed materials.

Can I get samples before manufacturing?

Custom formulation includes physical taste samples and up to six feedback rounds within scope. Optional powder analysis evaluates a supplied blend and includes blank-stick samples using materials you provide. It is separate from formulation and is not automatically included when StickPax sources production ingredients or packaging.

Does powder analysis include laboratory or stability testing?

No. Powder analysis and blank-stick samples are separate from laboratory panels and stability studies. Tell us the tests, documents, storage requirements, or certifications your project needs so the appropriate scope and availability can be reviewed. Do not assume these are part of the tolling estimate.

Does the quote approve my formula, label, or claims?

No. A manufacturing estimate prices the stated scope. Ingredient suitability, labeling, testing, and product claims require their own review. Share relevant requirements early; a packaging format or manufacturing estimate does not establish product performance or shelf life.

What does the online price include?

Tolling labor for blending, filling, sealing, and agreed retail packout, starting with one formula/flavor and customer-supplied ingredients and packaging. Materials, additional SKUs, development, optional analysis, and separately scoped testing or regulatory work are additional. Freight and taxes are outside the tolling estimate.

Who handles manufacturing?

StickPax coordinates manufacturing through our partner EnviroStar. The formula, materials, packaging, and production requirements are reviewed and agreed before manufacturing.
