Before We Begin

Can you create a custom scent for my brand?+

Yes. We can work with you to create a custom scent direction for your product or collection. Custom scent development may require testing, sampling, and additional development time depending on the product, fragrance direction, and quantity.

Can you use a fragrance I already have in mind?+

In many cases, yes. We can explore fragrance options based on the scent profile you want. If the fragrance needs to be used in a specific product, such as a candle, fragrance mist, body lotion, oil, or diffuser, we may need to test compatibility with the product base before production.

Can you customize the vessel or container?+

Yes. We can source different vessels, bottles, jars, and containers depending on the project. Custom vessels or specialty packaging usually require higher minimums because containers are often ordered in large quantities based on color, shape, and style.

What is the minimum for custom vessels or containers?+

For fully custom vessels, bottles, jars, or containers, minimums are typically higher and may start around 1,000 pieces per color, shape, or style, depending on the supplier and product type. We will confirm the exact minimum once we understand the project.

Can you create different packaging for my brand?+

Yes. We can help with custom gift boxes, labels, tags, cards, inserts, and other branded packaging details for your private label products or gift collection. Packaging options depend on the product, quantity, timeline, and supplier requirements.

Why is custom development quoted separately?+

Custom work requires additional time for sourcing, testing, design coordination, sampling, packaging review, and production planning. Pricing is based on the scope of work, product type, quantity, materials, and level of customization needed.

How long does the process take?+

Standard production time is typically around six weeks after deposit, final product selection, and final artwork approval. Custom scent development, specialty vessels, or custom packaging may require additional time.

Do you ship?+

Yes. Orders can be picked up locally or shipped. Once your order is complete and packaged, we can provide a shipping estimate based on the final box size, weight, and destination.

Can I reorder after my first project?+

Yes. Reorders are usually simple, especially when there are no changes to the product, scent, vessel, label, or packaging. If changes are needed, additional setup or testing may apply.

Do you show pricing online?+

No. Each Brand Studio project is custom quoted based on product selection, quantity, packaging, artwork, timeline, sourcing needs, testing, and customization level.
