Bespoke formulas, formats and larger production programs.
Bespoke formulas, formats, moulds, packaging or complex manufacturing programs from 10,000 units — run as structured, paid development: a fixed price, paid in full before work starts, managed inside your DAT Supply account. Deterministic launches use the private-label catalogue; bespoke work gets the discipline it deserves.
If the formula, format or mould changes — ingredients, dosage, actives, claims or a new shape — it is a custom project. Priced exactly, scoped first, paid in full before work starts.
Personalising flavour, colour or shape on an existing formula is not a custom project — it is reviewed as part of a normal order.
What a custom project covers
Both packages follow the same structure — Advanced carries complex active stacks, novel matrices and claims-sensitive work.
Scope & formula direction
What you want to make is scoped against actives, dose logic, format and the market you sell in. The development direction is agreed before any bench work starts.
Feasibility, built in
The first phase of the package covers basic feasibility — format fit, active load, stability outlook and positioning for the market you sell in. There is no separate feasibility product to buy first.
First sample round
The package includes the first development sample round against the agreed direction, produced and shipped as part of the package and tracked in your DAT Supply account.
R&D timelines are scoped in the package; production runs 8–12 weeks after formula sign-off.
Only bespoke changes need a custom project
Most launches do not: the private-label catalogue is production-ready, and approved project-specific personalisation is reviewed inside a normal order.

Custom Projects questions
When do I need a custom project?
Whenever the formula, format or mould itself changes: a different active stack, dosage, ingredient system, claim direction, a new shape or a product that is not in the catalogue. Flavour, colour and shape personalisation on an existing formula is reviewed as project-specific personalisation — part of a normal order, not a custom project.
What do the packages cost?
A Custom project is €5,000; an Advanced project — for complex active stacks, novel matrices or claims-sensitive work — is €9,000. Both are exact package prices, paid 100% upfront. No development work starts before payment.
Is a feasibility review included?
Yes. The first phase of the package covers scope, formula direction and basic feasibility — format fit, active load and positioning for the market you sell in. There is no separate feasibility product.
How long does it take?
R&D timelines are scoped in the package; production runs 8–12 weeks after formula sign-off. The development phase itself depends on what you are making and is agreed at scoping.
What happens after the formula is signed off?
It moves straight into a production order inside the same client workspace — specification, label review, production, batch release and delivery, with documentation released as you go.
What production volume does a custom project lead to?
Production is generally from 10,000 units; exact MOQ is confirmed during feasibility and depends on product format, formulation and ingredient sourcing.
