PVA-free water-soluble product development

Turn your product idea into a sheet you can actually sell.

We help brands formulate, validate and pilot-manufacture water-soluble sheet products—with first runs from just 500–1,000 units.

A practical route to market

From promising idea to market-ready pilot—without the oversized first order.

Water-soluble sheets are lightweight, pre-measured formats that activate or dissolve in water. They can reimagine products commonly sold as liquids, powders or gels.

Our role is to make the journey practical: develop the format, test its performance, produce a small pilot run and help prepare it for scale.

What can you create?

One format. Many product opportunities.

Custom sheet products for established categories—and ideas that have not reached the shelf yet.

Made without PVA

We develop alternative soluble-sheet systems around the needs of your product.

500units

Starting pilot quantity

Pilot manufacturing

Test the market before you scale the order.

Through our contract-manufacturing partner, we can produce approximately 500–1,000 units for customer trials, buyer presentations or an initial launch.

  • Collect real-world feedback
  • Validate packaging and positioning
  • Trial variants or fragrances
  • Reduce upfront inventory risk

Useful answers

Before we start.

What is your minimum pilot quantity?+

Our pilot manufacturing runs typically begin at approximately 500 units and can extend to around 1,000 units, depending on the product and specification.

Do you develop custom formulations?+

Yes. We develop the sheet system and formulation around the application, required performance, intended customer and manufacturing route.

What does PVA-free mean?+

It means the sheet format is developed without polyvinyl alcohol, also called PVA or PVOH. We can explain the proposed material system for your particular application during development.

Can you help if I only have an idea?+

Yes. An early conversation can establish whether a soluble sheet is a sensible fit and identify the technical and commercial questions to resolve first.

What happens after a successful pilot?+

We help define the product specifications and manufacturing requirements needed to move toward repeatable, larger-scale production.

How long will development take?+

Timing depends on the category, formulation complexity, testing requirements and number of iterations. We provide a proposed scope and timeline after assessing your brief.

Start a conversation

What are you trying to build?

You do not need a finished brief. Tell us the product, customer and outcome you have in mind, and we will let you know whether a water-soluble format makes sense.
