If it sits in our category competence, we can put your brand on it. Below is the standard scope. Adjacent ideas welcome.
Custom spice blends
Recipe development, sourcing, blending and packing. Single jars, multi-jar sets, branded sleeves. Suitable for retail or food-service.
Bespoke chilli sauces
Your heat profile, your flavour profile, your bottle. From mild chipotle to scotch bonnet, in glass bottles 100ml to 500ml.
Branded hot chocolate
Indulgent variety packs, signature single flavours, presentation gift boxes. Co-branded or fully white-labelled.
Cafe syrup line
Your barista line in your brand. Standard flavours or bespoke developments. 250ml pump bottles or larger trade formats.
Custom infused oils
Olive, sunflower, or carrier of choice, infused with herbs, spice or chilli. 100ml gift bottles to 1L trade formats.
Branded hamper assembly
Mix Tilz product with your own inclusions or third-party SKUs. Sourcing, kitting, packing under your label.
How it works
Five stages, one project lead, written milestones and a transparent quote at the second stage.
NDA & brief
Mutual NDA in writing before any product detail is shared. We then book a discovery call to scope the brief properly.
Concept & quote
You receive two or three concept directions with sample timelines, target costs, MOQs, and a fixed-price project quote.
Sample rounds
Up to three sample rounds included in standard projects. Recipe, packaging, label artwork iterated until you sign off.
Production
Full production run on signed-off samples. Quality checks at each stage. Photographic batch record provided for traceability.
Delivery & reorder
Pallet or split delivery. Future reorders streamlined; many clients move to a 90-day production cycle.

We needed a signature gift sauce for our farm shop range. Tilz took the brief, ran three recipe iterations, designed the bottle and produced 1,200 units in nine weeks. It is now our best-selling private label SKU.
Common questions
Can we own the recipe?
Yes. Recipes developed exclusively for you can be assigned to your brand, governed by an exclusive supply agreement. Discussed at quote stage.
Do you handle compliance?
Yes. Allergen labelling, nutritional analysis, UKCA / UK + EU regulatory review for food products are all included. Specialist compliance (e.g. organic certification) quoted separately.
What is the minimum project value?
From £5,000 ex VAT for simpler single-SKU projects. Most multi-SKU programmes start at £15,000. We are not the right partner for sub-100 unit runs.
Do you export?
Yes. Most of our white-label clients are UK-based, but we have shipped private label production to Ireland, France, Germany and the UAE. Export documentation and labelling supported.
Can we visit production?
Once a project is signed, yes. We welcome client visits as part of sample sign-off and production approval. Arrangements made through your project lead.
