What are the legalities of .............
« on: December 08, 2010, 11:08:26 am »
making up your own spotters to sell ?

I intend to fill my own bottles and label them with my own company lables and sell to customers and in my shop, is it possible to fill with a solution like microsplitter or similar and sell or do i need to provide the original label or packaging or say what the solution contains etc ? or put the original product name on it ?

Just want to make sure i get it right before launching in to mass production  ;D


regards
Steve

You can call it what you like, but would be wise to copy the chemical data from the original supplier and have MSDS sheets available

You might be better to approach a supplier and just have your own label added ............a lot less work and no concerns about getting it wrong. There are plenty offering such a service and prices can be very attractive.

You can call the product anything you like ( avoiding brand names of course )

I got mine from world of clean they design the label and sent the bottles with the solution in it. I had to stick the labels on and put the trigger spray on as well they sent a box of bottles and a box of trigger sprays it only takes 1 minute to do one and they look great I payed £1.20 each I think and there is no risk your end.

The most professional looking spotters in my opinion are from Alltec, but the solution is not too good, so I`ve replaced it with my own.

Steve the alltec does look the more professional looking and its cheap enough to give away and they will maybe keep it under the sink cupboard etc..

do most of you guys just give them away as freebies to every customer, or do you sell them as well ?

These are hopeless, I give away the Solutions spotters and I get feedback to say they work. Had someone just this morning thanking me, as they had used it to good effect.

I think its quite important that they do actually work well, if you are going to give away loads and they

are rubbish it will reflect badly on your whole business, think i would rather pay a bit extra and have

something that does the business,

If you decide to buy from a supplier best to buy full strengh
as some are only 1/3 or 1/2 strengh

Derek

your looking for a spotter that doesn`t need to be rinsed thus not leaving a residue.

Hi,
I use www.dormex.co.uk.
They will professionally screen print your bottles.
Initial cost slightly higher, as the template needs to be made.
