Custom Formulations

Your brand and your customers are unique. Your products should be, too.

Custom CBD Formulations are a variation of Sunny Skies CBD products, available to white-label customers only. Common customizations include:

  1. Potency
  2. Cannabinoids
  3. Packaging
  4. Flavor (type or intensity)
  5. Carrier oil
  6. Additional ingredients

Process

Step 1 – Fill Out the Form Below

In the “Comments” section, include as much detail as possible: ingredients, target CBD content, packaging, and the desired order size. A member of our sales team will contact you shortly.

Step 2 – Receive a Quote

If you include the requested details, we’ll send a quote. If anything is missing, we’ll email you to collect it. Your quote will include an estimated lead time, based on the timely receipt of any customer-supplied ingredients/materials. 

Step 3 – If Needed, Send Materials/Ingredients

If you’d like to proceed, you may need to send any ingredients or materials we don’t carry in regular inventory. Please send ingredients to 100 W. Main Street, Durand, WI 54736.

Step 4 – We Formulate a Sample and Ship It to You

If you’d like changes, we’ll adjust the formula and send an updated sample. If the project is research-heavy or costly to test, we may send an R&D invoice to cover test-batch formulation (including labor) and sample shipping. R&D fees typically range from $30-$100 (charged for most, but not all, custom samples). 

Step 5 – Customer Places Order

Email orders to Sales@SunnySkiesCBD.com. 

Step 6 – Invoice Sent (50% Due Upon Receipt)

Production begins once the deposit is received.

Step 7 – Product Is Formulated

Step 8 – Sample Sent to Lab for Potency Testing

Your invoice includes an $80 potency test per SKU. We send samples of all finished products, except our Freeze Gel, to SC Labs in Santa Cruz, California. We send Freeze Gel samples to KCA Laboratories in Lexington, KY. Typical turnaround is 7-8 business days, and this process can be expedited if the customer pays for expedited shipping or lab testing.

Step 9 – Lab Results/COA Sent to Customer

Typically, 8-10 business days after 50% deposit is received.

Step 10 – Remaining Balance Due

Step 11 – Order Ships

We’ll send a tracking number, and we offer free shipping.

FAQs

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Yes, $750 per SKU for Custom Formulations.

Why do you have a minimum order quantity?

We are dedicated to blowing our customers away with amazing customer service. We cannot realize this mission if we open the doors to everyone. While we would be more than happy to learn more about your business or have you out to the lab for a visit, our minimum order quantities are non-negotiable.

Why is the MOQ so much higher for custom formulations than it is for white label?

Our production schedule is very organized. We make sure that we have 6 weeks of 3rd-party-lab-tested inventory on hand at all times for all products, and have a finely-tuned process in place to predict what 6 weeks of inventory looks like. In most cases for custom formulations, we need to interrupt our production schedule to make a custom batch. We have some slack in our production schedule, but we do need orders to hit a MOQ per SKU of $750 to accommodate the time needed for a custom formulation.

What is a SKU?

SKU is an acronym for “stock keeping units”. Each product variation (such as CBD content, flavor, or packaging) has a different SKU number.

Why is there a minimum order quantity per SKU for custom formulations?

For regular white label products, we are able to keep three weeks of product as on-hand inventory because we can sell those white label products with the Sunny Skies label. We cannot, however, carry large amounts of custom formulation inventory on hand without incurring significant inventory carrying costs. In order to meet our 2-3 lead time for custom formulations, custom formulated product is made to order. Thus, a larger order is necessary to justify the interruption to the production schedule for a made-to-order, custom-formulated product.

Do you provide CoAs for custom formulations?

Yes. After we formulate your product, we take a random sample from that batch and send it to SC Labs, an ISO-accredited, third-party lab in California for cannabinoid potency testing. The customer will be required to pay for the lab test, which is $70 per SKU. Lab testing takes 7-8 business days, but customers may pay to expedite this process by paying for expedited shipping and/or expedited lab testing.

Is it possible to order Customer Formulations as Bulk Solutions?

Yes. Please visit the Bulk Solutions page for more information on the Bulk Solutions process and rules.

Do you offer label design services?

Yes. Please see pricing and process details on the Private Label Design page.

What flavor options do I have for custom formulated tinctures?

We offer the following custom formulation flavors: Orange, Orange Creamsicle (orange + vanilla), Cinnamon, Espresso, Vanilla Latte, Honeydew, Blue Raspberry, Green Apple, Lemon, Strawberry Shortcake and Strawberry Lemonade.

Can I get your CBD Sleep Drops or CBD Morning Drops made with broad-spectrum distillate or full-spectrum distillate instead of isolate?

Yes – and we can even do this for the lower MOQ available with our white-label service. Please see the White Label page for more info. This product is not available with the Sunny Skies CBD label.

Can you formulate a tincture with herbs, neotropics, or adaptogens?

If the ingredient is fat soluble, it is feasible to infuse it into a tincture. If the ingredient is not fat soluble (most ingredients are water soluble and not fat-soluble), we will not use it for custom-formulated products.

Do you offer net terms?

No. Full payment is due upon receipt for orders under $5,000. For orders over $5,000, a 50% down payment is required to begin formulation. The remaining 50% must be collected before Sunny Skies CBD ships the order.

Do you charge for shipping?

No, unless you need your shipment expedited. If you would like your order expedited, we will send you your options and add the option you select to your invoice. Sunny Skies CBD ships all orders with USPS Priority Mail (2-3 business days) or UPS.

Which forms of payment do you accept?

Credit card or wire transfer. Your invoice will include a link to pay with a card, as well as wire instructions in case you are over your card limit. You will receive payment instructions when we send you your invoice.

What is your lead time?

For regular wholesale or white-label orders, we ship your order within 2 business days of receiving payment – BUT for customer formulations, the lead time is significantly longer. If we need to experiment with the formula at all, there is usually a testing and sampling process that can take 1-4 weeks. When the formula is established, your lead time is an additional 8-10 business days. We will formulate your order within 2 business days. After we formulate your product, we take a random sample from that batch and send it to SC Labs, an ISO-accredited, third-party lab in Colorado for cannabinoid potency testing. The customer will be required to pay for the lab test, which is $55 per SKU. Lab testing takes 7-8 business days, but customers may pay to expedite this process by paying for expedited shipping and/or expedited lab testing.
