Selected Projects

Production Records, Not Marketing

Every project below is built on real production data — pilot batch dates, commercial unit counts, registration milestones and the specific machinery that ran the line. Client identities are anonymised under MNDA; the technical detail is left intact. These projects ran through our private label and contract manufacturing lines.

Case Study 01 / 05 · Turnkey Private Label — Amazon FBA Seller

Launching a Private Label Whitening Range for an Amazon FBA Seller

Turnkey Private Label PAP Whitening E-commerce Seller Amazon FBA

An Amazon FBA seller was competing in a category full of near-identical whitening SKUs and kept losing the Buy Box to cheaper listings. They needed a formula that could be differentiated on the listing — peroxide-free, enamel-safe — plus packaging that survived FBA inbound handling without leaking. We formulated a PAP-based whitening paste, ran the sealed tubes through drop and vibration checks, and configured the carton to Amazon’s FBA prep requirements (FNSKU placement, suffocation warning on polybags, fixed case-pack quantity). The first inbound shipment was received and active within six weeks of formula sign-off.

  • 12,000units in first FBA inbound
  • 6 weekssign-off to FBA active
  • 0 leaksdrop & vibration testing

Case Study 02 / 05 · ODM — Independent Brand Startup

Taking a First-Time Brand Founder from Concept to First Pallet

ODM Fluoride OTC Startup Low MOQ

A first-time founder had a brand name, a label design and no manufacturing experience. The blocker was minimum order quantity: every vendor she approached wanted 50,000 units before she had sold a single tube. We structured the project as three staged runs — 3,000 units to validate the market, then 10,000, then a full pallet run — each on the same locked formula so the third run tasted identical to the first. She paid a higher unit price on run one and a normal price by run three, which is the trade-off we make explicit up front rather than hiding in the quote.

  • 3,000units in validation run
  • 1 formulalocked across all 3 runs
  • 11 weeksbrief to first pallet

Case Study 03 / 05 · OEM — Regional Wholesale Distributor

Consolidating Nine SKUs into One Production Cycle for a Wholesaler

OEM Multi-SKU Wholesale Distributor Bulk

A regional wholesale distributor was buying nine toothpaste SKUs from four different factories and consolidating them into containers himself — four sets of paperwork, four lead times, four quality standards, and no single batch record to show a retail buyer who asked. We brought all nine SKUs onto one production cycle: shared base formula with variant packs for the whitening, sensitive and children’s lines, filled on the same campaign so they share a single batch documentation set. The volume commitment let us hold a lower unit price than any of his previous single-SKU vendors.

  • 9 SKUson one production cycle
  • 1 batch setshared documentation
  • 18%lower landed unit cost

Case Study 04 / 05 · Turnkey Private Label — Shopee / Lazada Cross-Border Seller

Supporting Small-Batch Replenishment for a Southeast Asia Marketplace Seller

Turnkey Private Label Natural / Botanical E-commerce Seller Shopee / Lazada

A cross-border seller running stores on Shopee and Lazada across Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines could not afford to hold a full container of stock, and the three markets wanted different label languages and different claims. We split the programme into small-batch replenishment: 5,000-unit runs every six weeks, one base botanical formula, with three label variants produced on the same line and cartoned separately at pack-out. He restocks against live sell-through instead of committing to a container he has to finance.

  • 5,000units per replenishment run
  • 6 weeksreorder cycle
  • 3 marketsone base formula

Case Study 05 / 05 · OEM — West Africa Importer

Rebuilding a Family Formula for Tropical Heat and Long Sea Freight

OEM Fluoride OTC Importer / Distributor West Africa

A West Africa importer was bringing in a family fluoride toothpaste that kept arriving separated: 40 days in a container at 30–38°C followed by warehousing without reliable air conditioning was breaking the humectant system his previous supplier had designed for a temperate climate. We reformulated around a humectant package and preservative system tested at 45°C / 75% RH rather than the usual 40°C, extended the accelerated stability window to cover the full freight-and-shelf timeline, and prepared the NAFDAC submission pack alongside English and French label artwork for the Nigeria and francophone routes. Stability work is covered by our custom formulation service.
