Sample goal
test product fill, shipping, shelf behavior, and reorder signal before scaling
Sample SKUs
Focus, Calm, Energy, Cacao Blend
Material start
Aroma and powder barrier film
Approval criteria
Quality review should cover dieline fit, print proof approval, matte or paper-touch finish expectations, sample fill behavior, seal strength, closure or feature fit, barcode and claim placement, and ship-test notes before scaling.
Risk to catch
Common failure modes include powder in the zipper, clumping from moisture, dusty seal areas, unclear serving panels, and a pouch that tips because headspace was not planned.
MOQ planning
Planning range: start around 100+ pouches per SKU for validation runs; confirm final MOQ, proof timing, and production lead time by size, material, finish, and SKU count.
