What fill weights are possible?

Roughly 1.5 g to 5 g per stick depending on bulk density; heavier fills need a wider sachet.

1,000 units for stick powder, including printed sachet film.

Can we do granules instead of plain powder?

Yes — granulation improves dispersibility and reduces dust and caking.

Stick powder OEM — fill weight, flowability and printing in one pass

Stick formats fail at filling, not formulation. Bulk density, hygroscopicity, flowability and sealing are validated at sample stage, and printed-film order quantities are calculated upfront.

Common pain points

Fill-weight variance
Poor flow causes per-stick weight variance and under-declared content.
Moisture caking
Hygroscopic materials cake during distribution.
Printed film MOQ
Even when product MOQ fits, film MOQ blows up the cost.

How BDL responds

Filling validated first
Bulk density and angle of repose are measured to match stick spec and speed.
Granulation & excipient tuning
Granulation and flow aids cut dust and caking.
Stock film + label option
First runs can use stock film with labels to avoid print MOQ.
