Juice Drink Co-Packing & Manufacturing

Juice drinks are a popular beverage category, but producing them at commercial scale requires the right equipment, processing methods, testing, and packaging. Working with an experienced beverage co-packer allows brands to manufacture juice drinks without investing in their own production facility or equipment.

Bev-Hub provides turnkey beverage manufacturing and co-packing for juice drinks and other shelf-stable beverages. Our services can include product processing, testing, canning, labeling, and more. Whether you are developing a new juice beverage or scaling an established brand, we can help you move from small-batch production to larger-scale manufacturing.

Juice Beverage Manufacturing

Every juice drink is different. Ingredients, formulation, acidity, viscosity, flavor profile, and desired shelf life all impact the manufacturing process. Bev-Hub works with brands to produce consistent, high-quality products while maintaining the characteristics of the finished beverage.

Our facilities are equipped for processing and packaging shelf-stable low-acid beverages, including juice drinks and fruit blends. Our manufacturing capabilities include high-shear mixing, blending, homogenization, thermal processing, filling, and packaging. We also provide quality control and beverage testing.

From Pilot Production to Full-Scale Manufacturing

Launching a new juice drink does not always require a large production run. Bev-Hub’s Wichita pilot plant provides low-MOQ production and product development capabilities, allowing brands to test formulations and produce smaller batches before committing to full-scale manufacturing. Once a product is ready to grow, our Manhattan facility provides high-volume production capabilities.

From recipe testing and pilot production to commercial manufacturing and packaging, Bev-Hub provides the equipment and expertise needed to help beverage brands bring juice drinks to market. Our goal is simple: make beverage manufacturing easier, more efficient, and more accessible for brands of all sizes.
