We will first need to test your product and film material.  If the product you are wanting to test is already in commerce then you can send us live containers.  If the product is new then you may ask your manufacturer to send us the required samples.

All powders and liquids(gels)  will need to be tested for compatibility with our current tooling.  Special tooling may need to be ordered to ensure accuracy of fill weights.  The product sample size needed for testing varies depending on the fill volume required and the type of machine necessary to run your product.  The range will vary from 1 lb to 4lbs of bulk powder, liquid or gel.  During the testing we will verify the minimum packet dimensions to accommodate your fill volume.  Once this has been assessed we can begin looking at custom sizes that will fit your marketing strategy.
