CUSTOM PEPPER MILL DEVELOPMENT

Your design.
Down to the details.

Personalize a catalogue model, or develop a new shape from a sketch, drawing or reference product. Our team brings the exterior, the mechanism and the finished presentation together.

Body & mechanism
Define the profile, refill opening and grinding configuration around the intended use.
Finish & brand
Develop the surface color, logo position and marking with a physical sample.
Box & presentation
Coordinate the mill, printed packaging and inserts as one product for your brand.

FOR YOUR US SALES CHANNEL

Build the range around
how you sell.

A store shelf, an online order and a restaurant table ask different things of the same grinder. Tell us where your product is going, and we can shape the proposal around that use.

Retail & gifting

Coordinate single mills or pairs with a branded box, English product copy and space for your SKU or UPC artwork.

Online retail & private label

Plan product presentation and protective packaging together. Share your fulfillment requirements so the pack can be reviewed for its actual delivery route.

Hospitality & tabletop ranges

Compare grip, refill access and the look of a coordinated pair. Review a working sample against the way your team intends to use it.
