Co-packing, also known as contract packaging, allows companies to outsource the manufacturing, packaging, storing, and distribution of their products.
Co-packing is common in the beverage industry as it reduces costs and improves efficiency. This strategy allows brands to focus on product development, marketing, and sales. Co-packing eliminates the need for expensive equipment, and shifts labor intensive manufacturing and logistical tasks to a team of specialists.
Establishing a relationship with an experienced beverage manufacturer provides a number of benefits for companies who desire growth. These include:
Start with certifications. SQF (Safe Quality Food) is a strong signal that a facility meets high standards for quality, cleanliness, and safety. Beyond that, look for a partner who offers testing capabilities, flexible order sizes, and a team that’s genuinely invested in helping your brand succeed.
Pricing depends on your order volume, packaging format, and how complex your formula is. Smaller runs typically cost more per unit, while pricing improves as you scale. The best way to get a real number is to share your goals with a co-packer directly.
MOQ is the smallest batch size a facility will produce for you. If you’re a startup still refining your recipe, look for a co-packer with low MOQs and a pilot plant built for smaller runs. It is much easier and less expensive to test your product before committing to mass production.
A pilot plant is your testing ground, designed for small-batch runs, R&D, and getting a new product off the ground without a big upfront commitment. A mass production facility takes over once you’re ready to scale, handling high-volume output while keeping the same quality standards. The best partners offer both, so you can grow without switching co-packers.
Many co-packers provide both, to a degree. Beyond canning and packaging, a full-service co-packer offers development and testing tools. They will check things like quality, consistency, viscosity, heat penetration, pH, and flavor profiles.
Reach out and share a bit about your brand and goals. Most co-packers offer an interest form or quick call to learn about your business before mapping out next steps. Whether you’re launching your first drink or ready to scale production, the right partner will meet you where you are.
