ABOUT STRIPWORKS

# An oral film manufacturer whose first run is 500 boxes.

StripWorks makes oral dissolving film strips for brands that want a first production run small enough to learn from and large enough to sell. Every project starts with a written brief read by a StripWorks engineer. Qualified projects go to a 500-box pilot with sachets, cartons, third-party testing and a Lot Release Packet.

## What StripWorks does

StripWorks develops and manufactures oral dissolving film (ODF) strips for supplement brands, wellness companies, clinics, ingredient suppliers, retailers and specialty-product teams. A project can cover formula feasibility, flavor and mouthfeel development, a 500-box pilot (about 10,000 strips in 20-count cartons or 15,000 in 30-count), individual high-barrier sachets, printed cartons, release testing through a third-party lab, and the records a brand needs to reorder.

## How the company started

StripWorks was founded in 2026 in San Diego, California. It exists because a brand that wants an oral strip usually has to commit to a large first run before anyone has tasted the product, opened the carton or read a certificate of analysis. The 500-box pilot is the answer: enough finished product to sell, sample and show a retailer, and small enough that a change after the first run is a correction, not a write-off.

## Why every project starts with a brief

Dose, taste, strip size, dissolve time, package and claims pull on each other; raising the active load thickens the strip, slows the dissolve and adds bitterness to mask. A written brief, read by a StripWorks engineer before any proposal, records what cannot change, what is still open and who decides. It also screens out restricted actives and claims StripWorks cannot support.

## Private label and custom development

Private label fits when an existing strip concept already matches the brand and only flavor direction, artwork and carton are new. Custom development fits when the active, dose, dissolve target or mouthfeel is new. Both follow the same brief, pilot and release steps; custom adds development rounds before the pilot.

## Where StripWorks is, and what it does not claim

StripWorks works from 1935 Cordell Court in San Diego, California, and ships to brands across the United States and abroad. It holds no third-party certifications yet and does not claim any. Every lot gets standard release controls, third-party testing through ILS Lab, a full batch record retained for audit, and a Lot Release Packet. Export documentation, labeling and claims review are confirmed per destination market.
