so ive been making my own hemp, poppy, and chia water for the last couple years.. i make some for friends and its great for losing weight, getting nutrients, and replacing soda in your diet.
anyways i want to start making and selling this, i do come from a sales background so no problem on that.. what I am looking for is the hurdles to launching this water. I want to compete in the coconut water department etc, but i need info on the following things:
>labels and bottling, i looked and found ampack for bottling, nothing for labelilng
>the nutrients aspect of the liquid, how do i do that?
>anything else which I need to start up this
thanks /biz/ maybe i can be a success story based of your advice

You look for a lab nearby. Live near any big health or pharma campuses? You might get a good deal if you strike up a conversation with a few analysts. Pay for a fucking test. Whatever costs you'll incur will be WELL WORTH IT when some corporate smuck decides to crawl up your ass to try and slap you with a takedown notice or a challenge of your claims. Labels can be mass printed at a retailer of your choice once you have your nutritional facts sorted - you can also invest in machinery yourself. I don't know your budget so go fuck yourself on that one.
If you don't mind dealing with the occasional 'lost' shipment, you can probably set up a good few runs through alibaba or taobao but it's your fucking life and budget.
Just get your health and safety in order and get your lab tests done. Nobody cares if your dump friends get a stomach ache from this shit, but a consumer can sue your ass to hell and back.
