What is beverage co-packing?
Beverage co-packing, or contract packaging, is when a company outsources the production, bottling, and packaging of their beverage to a third-party facility. Co-packers handle the operational aspects, allowing brands to focus on product development, marketing, and distribution.
Why should I use a co-packer?
Using a co-packer is a smart choice for businesses aiming to expand production without the high costs of purchasing equipment, building facilities, or hiring staff. It offers a low financial barrier to entry, making it easier to launch a new brand without significant upfront investments. By partnering with a co-packer, you can focus on growing your brand and marketing efforts while leaving the complex production tasks to experienced professionals.
What types of beverages are co-packed?
Alcoholic beverages: Beers, hard seltzers, ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails.
Carbonated drinks: Sodas, sparkling waters.
