At F.A.M.E. Health Labs, private label stick packs start at 30,000 sticks for a stock formula, and a stick-pack order takes 6 to 10 weeks. If 30,000 is more than you need for a first launch, the same stock formulas are available in pouches and tubs from 1,000 units.
This page covers what you can put in a stick pack, the sizes we fill, the timelines, and how to start smaller.
What goes in a stick pack
Stick packs are mostly used for powders: electrolyte and hydration mixes, energy and focus blends, greens, collagen, and other single-serve drink mixes. Each stick holds one serving, so it suits products people carry and mix on the go.
You can start from one of our 50+ stock hydration formulas or develop a custom formula with our R&D team. Our in-house Flavor Lab has 1,000+ flavors to work from.
Stick pack sizes
- Stock size: 1.5 by 5 inches.
- Length: adjustable to 3, 4 or 6 inches.
- Width: 1.5 to 4 inches, with custom tooling.
Sachets are also available: the standard is 4 by 4 inches, with lengths from 3 to 8 inches and widths from 1.5 to 4 inches with tooling.
Minimums and timelines
- Stick packs: from 30,000 sticks for a stock formula.
- Stick-pack orders: 6 to 10 weeks, for a stock or a custom formula.
- First run of a custom formula: 8 to 10 weeks from deposit and label approval, after 3 to 6 weeks of sampling.
