02Decide first

Four choices make the brief.

The sooner these are clear, the sooner we can come back with a minimum and a timing.

  • Still or sparkling (sparkling and flavoured is often sold as protein soda)
  • The flavour
  • How much protein you want per can
  • Where you will sell: gym fridges, cafes, shops or online

03Test first

Test your drinks brand with 480 cans.

If you want to know your buyers will take a drink under your name before you develop your own, start with our ready drink under your label from 480 cans. Your cans are at your door 2.5 weeks after you approve the design.

04How it works

From your logo to your cans.

  1. STEP 01

    Send your logo and website

    Tell us the format and roughly how much you want. Your logo and your website are the brief.

  2. STEP 02

    See it on the real pack

    We send a mock-up of your label on the real pack, so you see the product before anything is made.

  3. STEP 03

    Samples, then your order

    You check samples first. When you are happy with them, you place your order.

  4. STEP 04

    Pay upfront

    Our ready drink and stock formats are paid upfront by bank transfer.

  5. STEP 05

    We label, pack and ship

    We label, pack and ship your products under your brand.

Cans run through Blank Can, our self-serve platform: blankcan.eu.
