I did sublease,twice.To a samosa maker,she lasted about 5 years and then to an organic caterer.The organic caterer hit the market at the right time and she survived and was eventually was able to sell her business Had many people waste my time approaching me without a business plan and/or underfunded My saying is it’s easy to cook one package of Kraft dinner but try cooking a 100 and having them come out consistent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I'd look into plastic containers and you could print your own labels. Probably much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy kgb Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hard to make it for the ‘little guy’….too many kick backs… Home Depot’s here used to have a hot dog guy out front of every store, they lasted about 18mo and gone….I ran across one guy and asked him why he no longer posted up there as it was always packed… He said all the managers had to eat for free and the other employees for $1 for a hot dog meal (chips coke) couldn’t turn a profit to make it worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy kgb Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Same as lunch trucks on job sites, all supers eat for free at break and lunch, on a big job that’s $200 free food ….x10 jobs they stop at each day… So it’s either refuse them and they replace you, or make 50 cents on the dollar profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost depends on the size. If you're really going to go for it, get a graphic designer to create the label image for you. Your nutritional values shouldn't change. They should always be the same., So those could be printed as constants on a professionally designed and printed label. If you're going for differentiation instead of price, appearance/presentation is extremely important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first go around if I make a second batch of 100-200 bottles it’ll be 100% legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. Entemanns had trouble selling their products until they created packaging that allowed you to see the product through the clear window on the box. Learned that and more from The Foods That Built America. Best series on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
