How It Works

How It Works

Feasibility first. Clear inputs. Scheduled runs. Less drama, more pallets.

Step 1: Discovery

Goals, specs, constraints

Step 2: Feasibility

Capability check + packaging fit + timeline reality check

Step 3: Compliance

Formula/label guidance, documentation, approvals as needed

Step 4: Sourcing

Packaging + vendor coordination (if requested)

Step 5: Production

Scheduled run, QC checks, packout, release

Fit Check

Fit Check

This page is intentionally specific, so the right projects move fast and the wrong ones can find a better fit – no harm, no foul.

WE’RE OPTIMIZED FOR

-Multi-state brands and growing portfolios

– Consistent, recurring production runs

-Teams with (or ready for) a professional packaging supply chain

-Projects that value compliance, quality control, and reliable execution

NOT A FIT AND THAT’S OK

-One-off hobby projects (unless meets MOQ)

-Consult-only requests (“I have an idea, can you teach me how to start?”)

-Tiny runs with no committed launch timeline

What We Need From You

What We Need From You

-Timeline window: ideal ship date and any hard deadlines

-Sales footprint: CA only, multi-state, or national (channels help too)

RTD Readiness Checklist

RTD Readiness Checklist

Use this to sanity-check stability, packaging, compliance, and timeline.
Serious projects fly. Vague projects… don’t.

Quick Reality Check

-I can describe the product in one sentence (what it is, ABV, flavor intent)

-I know my target format (can size + packout) or I’m open to recommendations

-I have a real launch window (not “sometime this year”)

What Slows RTDs Down

-Packaging materials and long-lead components

-Compliance approvals that weren’t planned into the schedule

-Formula/stability surprises (separation, haze, sediment)

-Unclear volume and timeline
