Beverage program

Your brand.
Our formulation.

Most co-packers buy their nano emulsion from someone else and hope it behaves. We make ours. That means when a formulation misbehaves at your pH or your dose drifts over shelf life, the people who built the carrier are the people fixing it.

What we make

Any non-alcoholic beverage, infused or zero-proof

Every active in our ingredient catalog can go into a can. The first two below are the ones almost nobody else will touch, and they are the reason most people call us.

Kava and kavain

Our category edge. Very few co-packers will run it.

Kratom shots

Standardized mitragynine, dosed by assay.

THC beverages

Hemp-derived, dosing configurable.

CBD and minor cannabinoids

CBD, CBG, CBN, alone or blended.

Functional mushroom

Lion’s mane, reishi, cordyceps.

Nootropic and focus

Caffeine and L-theanine on a matched release curve.

Adaptogen and relaxation

Ashwagandha, GABA, botanical blends.

Electrolyte and sport

Zero sugar formulations available.

The difference

We are the nano supplier, not a reseller

The nano emulsion in most infused beverages is a purchased ingredient. The co-packer doses it and hopes. When something goes wrong at scale, and it usually does, they are relaying questions to a third party who has never seen your formula.

We manufacture the carrier. If your matrix needs a different lipid phase, or the dose has to hold at a lower pH, or the active is something we have never run before, that is a formulation conversation with the people who built the platform.

How the carrier works

Water clear in the can

Sub-100 nm particles scatter very little visible light, so the finished beverage is clear rather than milky.

No separation, no ring

The active stays suspended for shelf life instead of creaming or plating out on the can wall.

No oily aftertaste

The carrier keeps the active off the palate, which is what makes a botanical dose drinkable.

Dose you can print on a label

Potency is verified per batch, so the number on the can is the number in the can.

Blank

Brite, white or black cans for in-line labeling on your own equipment.

Shrink sleeve

Full-wrap coverage in gloss or matte. Best for short runs and multi-SKU launches.

Digital print

Printed directly to the can. Premium finish, longer lead time.

Packaging and accessories

Can carriers

4-pack and 6-pack clip carriers.

Deposit ends

Regular, black or gold ends compliant with 10-state deposit rules.

Resealable lids

For functional formats where the can is not finished in one sitting.

Child-resistant toppers

Required in several markets for infused SKUs.

Case trays

24-count trays for sleek and standard, retail ready.

End to end

Services we offer

01

Custom formulation

Built on our own nanoparticle platform rather than bought-in emulsion. Flavor, sweetness, mouthfeel and dose are tuned together.

Included
02

Flavor and masking development

The whole job on kava, kratom and ashwagandha. Bitter botanicals are where most co-packers quietly give up.

Included
03

pH and stability verification

Lab pH verification and a stability program before any new formula runs at volume.

Required for new formulas
04

Full panel testing

Complete potency and safety panel on every infused batch, with a batch COA.

Required for infused SKUs
05

Compliance recommendations

Guidance on mg caps, age limits, labeling and warning requirements market by market. Guidance, not legal advice.

Per state
06

Label and artwork review

A regulatory and print-readiness pass over your artwork before it goes to the press.

Optional

Pilot runs

250 cases

For proving a concept, not for commercialization. Longer lead times, raw material fees per trial and a much higher cost per unit.

Ready to build

Build your run in six steps

One reply starts it. Answer as many of these as you can and we will quote against it. Anything you have not decided yet, say so and we will make a recommendation.

01

Pick the active and the dose

Anything in our catalog, a custom blend, or an active you supply. Tell us milligrams per serving.

02

Pick the format

Can size and finish, or a shot format. Zero-proof and infused versions of the same base are both available.

03

Pick the flavor direction

Start from a base we already run, or brief a custom flavor. Custom adds bench rounds and pilot fees.

04

Pick the services

Compliance recommendations, artwork review, extended stability. Yes or no on each.

05

Pick the packaging

Carrier, can end, topper and tray. Driven mostly by the markets you are selling into.

06

Set the run

How many SKUs and how many cans per SKU. We come back with a quote and a production slot.

Scope

Where our work stops

We take a concept to finished, filled, labeled and cased product on a pallet. From the dock onward it is yours. We are a formulation and production house, not a logistics company, and we would rather say so up front than discover it mid-launch.

Most customers hand the pallet to a 3PL or their distributor. If you do not have one, say so in your brief and we will point you at people who do this well.

Not included

  • Warehousing and inventory storage
  • Order fulfillment and case picking
  • Distribution and retail placement
  • Direct-to-consumer shipping

Finished pallets are staged for pickup by you or your carrier.

Tell us what you want in a can

The active, the dose, the format and the markets. That is enough for us to come back with a formulation approach, a production slot and a price.
